Notes

Thomas Alois Seward

61, a resident of Tulsa, Oklahoma, passed away August 16th, 2024, in his home in Tulsa. He was born August 6th, 1963 in Levelland, Texas to Wid Wright Seward Sr. and Louise Imelda Zernicek Seward. He found the love of his life, Cheryl Faye Webb Seward, and married her on January 29th, 2000.

Tom was a cherished and loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. He was a fun loving, creative, kind hearted, hard working, and generous man. Thomas had the mind of an engineer, and the spirit of an artisanal craftsman. As much as he loved to make and create, his greatest creation has been his family; family has always more important to him than anything else. Thomas was a god fearing man, may his family and friends please find comfort in knowing that he is at home with the lord as well as all of his loved ones who have gone before him. He will be so greatly missed by all who knew him.

Thomas was preceded in death by his parents, Wid Wright Sr. and Louise Imelda Zernicek Seward; his brothers Wid Wright Jr. (Velenda), Frank Alexander, Robert Anthony, and Lloyd Raymond Seward; and his sisters Allena Louise Rich Hudgens and Elizabeth Ann Waldrop (Dale).
