All mankind is of one Author, and is one Volume, when one man dies, one chapter, is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be translated.On November 25, 1943, a baby boy was born to the late Brother Andrew Thomas and the late Sister Annie Mae Timmons Thomas. Seventy-four years of a useful life ended May 9, 2018, when Archie Thomas was called from this earthly scene. It is God's will that the laborers shall sleep. Let the tired laborers be encouraged; there is time to rest.Let the mourners be comforted. Your loved one who served the Lord and who served his neighbors is just sleeping and shall awake to newness of life.God said, "I have set before you life and death."

Nebo Baptist Church until the beckoning call of God.Archie graduated from Central Consolidated High School, Dubberly, Louisiana in 1964.
