Thomas Lee Pearson

Thomas Lee Pearson, Sr., of El Mirage, California

It's with mixed emotions that we make the announcement that our dad, Thomas Lee Pearson Sr., went home to be with the Lord on September 18, 2024 at 84 years of age while vacationing in his hometown of Saginaw, Michigan. My dad was born on April 5, 1940 to the late Raymond Dale Pearson, Sr., and Esther (Hardy) Pearson, both from Saginaw, Michigan. For everyone that knew my dad you realize that he was constantly looking forward to being reunited with his wife of many years Linda Pearson who preceeded him in death as well as his mother, sister and brothers. My dad lived his life with a love for his God, his family and friends and spent his life working closely with his children, his mother, Esther, his brothers Jim and Ray Pearson, his sisters Dorthy and Pat, along with his many nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Our dad is survived by his 7 children: Thomas, Debbie, Nancy, Christopher, Paul, Julie and Susan and he was a constant example to us of someone whose personal life mirrored their public persona.

Our faith teaches us that my dad's belief system gave him the hope in Jesus Christ that his personal journey to eternity would begin the moment his life here on earth was completed. My dad enjoyed his time with his loved ones but was often found looking forward to his heavenly journey and we know that while we miss him greatly, that he is in a better place, free of all sickness, infirmity, reunited with his loved ones that already preceeded him. My siblings and I will be announcing my dad's Celebration of Life service in the near future with plans to have his home Pastor conduct the service in Phelan, California. Thank you to those who reached out to us with your condolences, memories of my dad, and your well wishes for the family, we will never forget your many kindnesses!
