Thomas Alan Stokes
11/08/1948 – 06/16/2026
Born in Durham, N.C.
Wife: Kathy Ann Stokes (deceased)
Tom was the receptionist for the Lighthouse for the Blind before his retirement.
Tommy is survived by Kathy’s family, Fred & Terri Rock; nephew Andrew Byrne; nephew Robert (Cheryl) Fuerst and granddaughters Victoria, Olivia & Sophia; niece Becky Paterniti (Eric) and grandniece Deaven & grandnephew Justin; and nephew Michael Rock.
Tom’s 1st love was his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, his wife Kathy, and the rest of the family.
Every day Tom reached out via phone to people he loved to pray with them. This was his ministry. There were about 150 or more people he would contact during the week. How he could remember all the phone numbers was absolutely amazing.
Tommy had an innate gift to ask someone what their birth date was, and he could tell them what day of the week it was.
Tommy loved and will be missed by his family and his Calvary Community Church family as well.
Please make love offerings to Calvary Community Church in Tom’s memory.
