Thomas (Tommy) Marion Stubbs. age 69, passed away peacefully to be with our Lord on Tuesday, August 28, 2012, after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. He was born in Victoria on July 29, 1943, to the late Marion and Anna Sandhop Stubbs. Tommy was a lifetime resident of Victoria and a member of Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church.

After graduation, he worked as a field agent for the U.S. Soil Conservation and Stabilization Commission and was the former owner of Victoria Packers and Stubbs Meat Market. All of these jobs finally led him to his true passion of being a self-employed rancher. Tommy truly loved his horses, cattle, and his family and friends.
