With a saddened heart, we announce the passing of Thomas Dale Elwell on January 17, 2019 in Carrollton, TX. He was born on October 20, 1939 in Muskegon Heights, MI to Basil and Rose Elwell. Thomas served in the United States Air Force from 1962 – 1966 and met his wife Bettye during Air Force training in Wichita Falls. While in the military, he was stationed in Turkey as a Cryptographic Technician, traveled and also played for the basketball and softball teams. He also played football and basketball in high school as he had a passion for sports and outdoor activities. Fishing and hunting were a pastime favorite especially with his brothers. He taught his wife to play golf and they enjoyed this hobby together for many years. One of his favorite things to do was to watch his kids and grandkids play sports – he may or may not have been thrown out of his son’s collegiate basketball game. These are great memories for this beautiful soul. He will be so missed. Thomas was preceded in death by his parents, son, Tommy Elwell; brothers, Basil and Roger Elwell and brother-in-law, Jim Lindsey. He is survived by his wife; son, Jason (Crystal) Elwell; brother, Jim (Linda) Elwell; sister, Sandi Lindsey and grandchildren, Addison, Ensley and Ian Elwell.
