Thomas U. Broome

Thomas U. Broome, age 92, went home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on May 25, 2026. He is now rejoicing in the eternal presence of the Almighty, leaving behind a profound legacy of unwavering faith, devotion, and unconditional love.

A funeral service will be held at 3pm on Monday. June 1, 2026 at Fair Funeral Home Chapel in Eden with burial to follow at Ridgeview Memorial Gardens. Visitation will be held one hour prior to the service.

Thomas loved God with all his heart, mind, and soul, and he loved his wife just as Christ loved the Church deeply, faithfully, and without measure. A pillar of his spiritual community, Thomas served for many years as a dedicated deacon at New Beginnings Church, where he also shared his beautiful musical gifts as the church pianist.

His life was a living, breathing testament to the words faithful and true.
