Thomas Caldwell Obituary

Thomas Michael "Mike" Caldwell

December 14, 1954 - August 19, 2024

Thomas Michael "Mike" Caldwell, 69, of Marion, NC, passed away Monday, August 19, 2024, at Mission Hospital in Asheville with his loving family by his side.

Tom was born December 14, 1954, in Wilkes County, NC. He was the son of Thomas "Tommy" Caldwell and Gladys Mikeal Caldwell.

He was a member of New Manna Baptist Church where he was a faithful giver, usher, and a worker in the bus ministry for many years. He was owner and manager of Phoenix of Hickory as a certified substance abuse counselor, where he ministered to countless individuals by sharing his story of addiction, but most importantly by sharing his personal testimony of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Tom was survived by his wife of 31 years, Deanna Hensley Caldwell; two sons, Josh Sanders (Alisha) and Justin Sanders (Emily); four grandchildren, Riley, Lylah, Drake, and Jett, all of Marion, NC; one sister, Jan Harless of North Wilkesboro, NC; and a number of nieces, nephews, and friends.

Tom loved his Lord, family, church, golf, and the UNC Tarheels. He was also an avid fan of Jimmy Johnson.

A celebration of life will be held Friday, August 23, 2024, at 2 p.m. at New Manna Baptist Church in Marion with Pastor Tony Shirley officiating. The family will receive friends from 1 to 2 p.m. at the church.

Memorial contributions may be made to New Manna Baptist Youth Camp Fund.

Mike and I were best friends in high school. We played golf and football and went hunting and fishing together. He was the best man at my wedding. Unfortunately, I cannot be there today because of back surgery this week. My heart and prayers go out to the family for one of the best people I have ever known
