Thomas Lowell Hays

Thomas Lowell Hays was born on August 7, 1941 into the family of Tommie and Christine Hays. On Wednesday, July 27, 2016, we lost our husband, father, brother, grandfather, great .... and the list goes on. But we really didn't lose him, because we know he just got a head start. Jesus awaited him. He was a member of Central High School's "Class That Never Was" and went on to graduate from Baptist High School at Second Baptist Church. He was a member of Geyer Springs First Baptist Church. After retiring from the printing business, he spent most of his time caring for the needs of his family. He lived Philipians 2:3-4, "Do nothing out of rivalry or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves. Everyone should look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interest of others." This truly describes the character of Tommy. The family would like to express their appreciation to Dr. Brad Baltz, CARTI, Saline Memorial Hospice, and friend, Marilyn Hays, who gave tirelessly during this difficult time. Survived by his wife, June; son, Randall T. Hays of Bryant; stepdaughters, Debbie Walker (Terry) of Mabelvale and Marsha Rood (Kenneth) of Benton. He is also survived by his brother, Phil Hays (Peggy) of Little Rock; sisters, Sharon Lovett (Larry) of Bryant and Melissa Mitcham (Eddie) of Fayetteville; five grandchildren, Brittany Hays, David Hays, Gillian Apellido, Alyssa Rood and Elijah Rood; five great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces and nephews.
