Thomas Little Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Oct. 13 to Oct. 15, 2023.
Born on October 13, 1943, in Oceanside, CA, passed away October 7, 2023 in Bowling Green KY. Thomas was the eldest of 5 children, and spent most of his life in Lancaster, CA. As a young adult, he enlisted as a reserve in the United States Marine Corps. He later joined the Los Angeles County Fire Department and served the residents of the County and of the Antelope Valley for 32 years, rising to the rank of Captain.

While in the Antelope Valley, he met the love of his life, Beverly Richmond. Thomas and Beverly were married for 59 years and had four children: Pauline, Colleen, Tim, and Dan. Thomas was constantly surrounded by his eight grandchildren: Kyle, Tyler, Madison, Thomas, Ryan, Steven, Chelsea and Eric and five great-grandchildren.

After retiring from the fire department, Thomas and Beverly spent their golden years in Meadview, AZ, where they enjoyed boating, water skiing, and taking long scenic walks together. Wanting to be closer to family, Thomas and Beverly moved to Bowling Green, KY. Thomas enjoyed every moment with family and cherished the times they visited. He will be missed by all.

A funeral mass will be held November 22, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Bowling Green, Kentucky. J.C. Kirby & Son Lovers Lane Chapel has been entrusted with the arrangements.
