Thomas Carver Obituary
Service: 12:30 p.m. Thursday at Laurel Land Memorial Chapel of Fort Worth. Interment: 3 p.m. Thursday in Oak Dale Cemetery in Stephenville. Visitation: 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at Laurel Land Funeral Home.
Thomas was last born of nine children of Thomas and Screptia Carver from early beginnings as an Erath County sharecropper. Tom "Pop" Carver went on to become the patriarch of his family line as husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He was married to the love of his life, Betty Jean, for 60 years, and family was paramount. He retired as a Fort Worth firefighter in 1986 and was owner of Carver Real Estate. Tom was an avid hunter and proud Democrat. He took great joy in spending his free time at the family farm in Jacksboro. Tom Carver will be remembered by family and friends as a man of character and integrity.
Survivors: Wife, Betty Carver; son, David Carver and wife, Mary; daughter, Linda Wehmeyer and husband, Freddie; 10 grandchildren; and 12 great-grandchildren.

I very much remember working with Tom at Fire Stations and doing his income taxes. He was a very pleasant man to work with and very honest and hard-working. Due to two medical appointments on Thursday, I will not be able to attend his service, but I wanted to express my deepest sympathy and pray God's blessing upon you during this time.
