Not sure what to say?

A friend/neighbor that quickly became family! Ward was a sweet man with a good heart. I have fond memories of Ed & Ward working on home projects, race cars & of Ward & Lyn spending many holidays with us. Ward was always willing to lend a helping hand & always came running without hesitation when I called, no matter the hour. I know that Ed is waiting for you at heavens gate picking you up in a super fast corvette & that you guys will be racing around heaven together in your hot rods. We’ll...

I've known Uncle Ward all my life, 49 years. I will miss our conversations. The one thing I've always noticed, he was always supportive of his family whether it was giving advice or just being there. He and Aunt Lynn were there for my mother when she was going through health problems. Im very appreciative of his support. He was a good man. Our family was blessed to had known him. I know he will be missed. Rest easy Uncle Ward.

Ward was part of our family’s life for 65 years and will continue to be so in his next chapter of life.

Love you Lynne, Paula, Kirk, Derric and your families.

Dalton, Charlene are all the Logans

He will be sadly missed and continue to hold a place in my heart. Rest in Peace Ward. Love you "Baby" and Derek. NeeAnn

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Seldom in life do you come across someone like Ward Thomasson, and when he walked into our lives, we were unaware of how much he and Lyn would come to mean to us.
While he could be gruff, Ward had a heart of gold and would always come through for those in need, whether it was for a friend or stranger. Ward would literally drive across country to pick up a car for a friend who shouldn’t be alone, or as we witnessed when he went out of his way to help a woman with a flat tire just trying...

Walter "Ward"'s Obituary

Walter “Ward” Thomasson, beloved husband, father, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully at his home in Spring Branch, Texas on July 13, 2025. He was born on January 4, 1950, in Texas City, Texas to Walter V. Thomasson Jr. and Hattie Beth (Major) Thomasson.

A proud graduate of LaMarque High School, Class of 1968, Ward embarked on a distinguished career in the automotive and petrochemical industries. With over twenty years of service as a licensed electrician, he dedicated himself to his work and retired from Union Carbide in 2008. A man of deep faith, Ward was a lifelong Christian who was baptized in the Methodist Church and later served as a Deacon at Texas City 1st Assembly of God, embodying the principles of kindness and service.

In his leisure time, Ward pursued his passions with fervor. He embraced martial arts in his younger years and held a lifelong love for automobiles, particularly in the building and restoration of vintage cars and hot rods. Known for his remarkable ability to repair and fix nearly anything, he will be fondly remembered for his joyful sense of humor and warmth.

Ward is survived by his devoted wife of 53 years, Lyn Thomasson; their son, Derek Thomasson, and daughter-in-law, Melissa Guerra; his sister, Paula McCarter; his brother, Kirk Thomasson; and his cherished grandchildren, Hayden Guerra-Smith and Ava Laster.
