Thomas Edwin Padgett, born in the downtown Memorial Hospital (now Memorial Hermann) on January 7, 1937, in Houston, Texas. Tom passed away peacefully around midnight on March 20, 2026, in Comfort, Texas. He was 89.

 

His parents brought him home from the hospital to their newly built cottage-style brick home at 3107 Wroxton Road. Tom reminisced that he could sit on the front porch and have an unobstructed view across open fields of wild dewberries to Lamar High School and that he would gather and bring home for cobbler - the taste of which he would never forget!!! He grew up there in West University – attending elementary grades, and then next Lanier Junior High (now middle school), Kincaid, and finally graduating from Lamar about 1956.

 

Tom spent his early years in Houston working in the family’s window covering business. After retiring, he embraced the tranquility of the Texas Hill Country near Comfort, where he found joy and fulfillment in his later years.

 

Tom had a remarkable sense of design and a passion for creating unique architectural projects. His creativity came to life through rural building endeavors near Comfort and in the picturesque hills south of Cloudcroft within New Mexico's Lincoln National Forest. These projects reflected his love for nature and his ability to blend functionality with beauty.

 

A devoted animal lover, Tom shared his life with numerous much-loved dogs - Critter, Miss Baby, Highway, Sweet Pea, Sugar Spot, Byrdman and Bugs Bunny..........and even a few cats who captured his heart over the years. His connection with animals brought him great comfort and companionship throughout his life.

 

Tom is survived by his daughter Julia Michael and son-in-law William, grandchildren Katharine and William Jr., great grandchildren Ezra, and Nokomi, all of Landenburg, Pennsylvania. Also by son Ty Padgett, grandson Dalton and granddaughters Nikky and Fiona and a great-grandson. He is also remembered fondly by his niece Cathy Holt and nephew Larry Sams and wife Beth. Also cherished and remembered for his sense of adventure and sense of humor by his former wife Carol Zimmermann and his partner and friend Adele Tavares.

 

He was predeceased by his son Johnny, daughter Lisa, parents John Millard Padgett and Alice Heiman, sister Dorothy as well as his niece Jennifer.

 

Thomas Edwin Padgett will be deeply missed by those who knew him. May his memory bring comfort to all who were touched by his life.

07/14/1938 -  10/28/2025

 

Judith "Judy" Gilbert Tyson, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and cherished friend, went home to her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Tuesday, the 28th of October 2025, at 87 years of age.

 

Born in Houston on the 14th of July 1938, to her devoted parents, Helen Herod Gilbert and Charlie Francis Gilbert, Judy was a proud native Houstonian. She attended River Oaks Elementary, Lanier Junior High, and graduated from Lamar High School in the Class of 1956. She went on to earn her bachelor's degree in education from Texas Christian University in 1960.

 

In 1957, Judy met the love of her life, H. Michael "Mike" Tyson, and the two were married on 24 June 1960. Their sixty five years of marriage stand as a beautiful testament to enduring love, faith, and commitment. Together they raised two children, H. Michael "Mike" Tyson, II and Michelle Lee Tyson, and built a life centered on faith, family, and service.

 

Judy was a lifelong member of Alpha Delta Pi Sorority, remaining active well beyond her college years. She was also a devoted member of St. Luke's United Methodist Church, where she found joy in serving on the Wedding Guild and teaching Children's Sunday school.

 

Beyond her family, Judy's great passion was her work with The Blue Bird Circle, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting children with neurological disorders through clinics and research at Texas Children's Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine. Over the years, she held numerous leadership positions within the Circle, ultimately serving as President from 1987 to 1988. For decades, every Thursday, you could find Judy at the Blue Bird Circle Resale Shop-faithfully present, graciously serving customers, and encouraging her fellow Circle members with her kindness and smile.

 

Judy is survived by her beloved husband, H. Michael "Mike" Tyson; her son, H. Michael Tyson II, and his wife Michele; her daughter, Michelle Lee Tyson; and her treasured grandchildren, Graham Tyson (Kimberly), Claire DeShazo (Will), Lindsey Oliver (Seth), Gracie Pruitt (Ben), and Madelyn Key (Kyle). She was also the proud great-grandmother of Mackenzie Tyson, Hallie DeShazo, George DeShazo, Nolan Oliver, and Wesley Tyson.

 

Friends are cordially invited to a visitation with the family from half past five o'clock in the afternoon until half past seven o'clock in the evening on Tuesday, the 4th of November, in the library and grand foyer of Geo. H. Lewis & Sons, 1010 Bering Drive in Houston.

 

A funeral service is to be conducted at twelve o'clock noon on Wednesday, the 5th of November, at St. Luke's United Methodist Church, 3471 Westheimer Road in Houston, where Dr. Tom Pace, Senior Pastor, is to officiate. The family will gather for a private interment later that day.
