Spanish Fork
Utah County
Utah, USA
Death: Feb. 24, 2007
Payson
Utah County
Utah, USA
Chris Len Thomas, loving husband, father, and grandpa was called home to his Father in Heaven Saturday February 24, 2007. He was born February 19, 1954 in Spanish Fork, Utah to Len B. (Bud) Thomas and Lillian Lorae Neil Thomas.
At a young age Chris moved with his family to Payson Utah where he attended Payson High School and where he spent many happy years raising his family and cultivating friendships. Chris was a man with many talents and gifts.
During the thirty years that he worked at Geneva Steel he somehow found time to build a beautiful home and to start his own custom furniture business which he enjoyed very much. He also spent time working at Zions Home Builders and most recently at IM Flash as a construction auditor.
Chris won the heart of his eternal sweetheart, Bonnie Greenhalgh at Payson High School. They were married on August 18, 1973 and their marriage was solemnized January 26, 1980 in the Manti L.D.S Temple. Bonnie was the love of his life and they spent thirty three wonderful years together. They have been best friends since the day they met and desired to spend every possible moment together. Chris was always happiest with Bonnie by his side. He loved and cared for her with all of his heart.
Chris began entertaining with his guitar and voice as a young boy. Whether he was playing with his High School Rock n Roll band, singing country songs around the campfire or performing at events throughout the community Chris was able to share his gift with countless people.
He lived his life in selfless service. Chris was eternally devoted to the Lord, his wife, his family, friends, and the Mtn. View 4th Ward in which he has served as Bishop for the past four years. He had a remarkable gift for friendship and was blessed with a vast network of friends and family whom he loved dearly.
Chris was a wonderful father who dedicated his life to his family. He worked hard his entire life to insure that the needs of his family were always met. He lived his life as an example and a pillar of strength to his children. They will miss him immensely.
He felt blessed to have eleven grandchildren of whom he was very proud. He had a special relationship with each one of them and loved to play with them all. Grandpa's adventures, humor, and stories will be greatly missed.
Chris was preceded in death by his father Len B. (Bud) Thomas and survived by his loving wife Bonnie, their four children Jacob Len (Karen); Spanish Fork, Abby Anderson (Zackery); Highland, Hayes Roy (Lisa); Pleasant Grove, Alida Mathewson (Michael); Heber City, His eleven grandchildren Justus, Victoria, Adrianna, Ezekiel, Garrison, William, Isabelle, Scout, Emma, and Taylor, His mother Lorae Thomas; Payson, Brother Andre (Heather); Missouri, Sister Stacy Greenhalgh (Kirk); Santaquin, father and mother-in-law Doug and Shirley Smith (Lehi), and many other friends and family who loved him dearly.
