John P. Thomas MD

After a routine Sunday of Church, Lunch, Bike Ride with his son, John complained of some discomfort in his chest.  He was rushed to his favorite hospital, Lubbock Heart Hospital, where he was given extreme care and attention from all required specialists.  All their valiant efforts were not enough to keep John from joining his Parents, Sister and Nephew in his Heavenly Abode.

John, who was a renowned surgeon in the United States and around the world, lived his Judeo-Christian faith openly and boldly.  He used his skills as a physician and surgeon to serve humanity the world over.  In life not only did he do his part to Make America Great Again, he also was a driving force in leaving the world a better place than he found it.  He did that thru an organization he founded in 1999: Operation HOPE: HOPE stands for Healing Outreach for People Everywhere.

John was raised in Houston, Texas but spent almost 25 years in Lubbock.  He was well known in the community as an upstanding Texan and Republican.  He leaves behind an irreplaceable Vacuum in the lives of an army of Family and Friends, here in the US as well as globally.

In lieu of flowers the family suggests memorial donations made to the HOPE fondation in his honor.
