Thomas Lowell Edwards, age 92, passed away on Saturday, September 19, 2026 at his home in Lancaster, OH. Thomas was born on December 15, 1933 to the late Emerson and Mae Edwards. After graduating Lancaster High School, he entered the U.S. Navy and served from 1953 to 1957. He served in construction and farmer for 50 years. His passions were gardening, painting, baseball, football, but his greatest love was sharing the gospel with everyone he met. He also took great love and pride in all his children, grandchildren, and great grandchild. Thomas traveled the world both during his service in the U.S. Navy and while raising his family, living in Oregon for 17 years, where he also enjoyed painting the scenery and rock hounding.

Thomas is preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Joyce Edwards; his children, Ron (Ellen), Aimy, David, and Cheri; grandchildren, Noah Enriquez, Elijah, John, and Dan Edwards; great grandchild, Emiliano Enriquez; sister, Carolyn "Sis" (Chuck) Stockwell; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and friends.

"If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved." Romans 10:9-10 (NIV)

A memorial service for Thomas will be held at a later date.
