Thomas "Tommy" Marion Venable, 90, of Greensboro, went home to be with his Savior on July 17, 2026. Born on November 12, 1935, in Guilford County, NC, he was the son of the late Haldor C. and Margaret Kimrey Venable. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife of 60 years, Patricia Morrison Venable, and his brother, James Venable.

Tommy was a graduate of Jamestown High School and a faithful member of the First Baptist Church of Jamestown. He served in the United States Army and worked at Fredrickson Motor Express for more than 30 years. Tommy had a gift for working with his hands —whether it was fixing a tractor, tinkering in the shop, or simply figuring out how to make something run again. He enjoyed spending time with family and friends.

He is lovingly remembered by his daughters, Lisa Dillon (Mark) and Nancy Shaver (Richard); four grandchildren, Kimrey Dillon, Erin Lanier (Caleb), Natalie Shaver (fiancé, Brent Weiss), and Ashley Burgess (Daniel); and three great-grandchildren, Hazel Lanier, Ember Lanier, and Carter Burgess. Sharing in the remembrance are his niece, Sherrie Duke (Alan) and his nephew, Brian Venable, and numerous family members and friends.

The family will receive friends from 5:00 pm–7:00 pm on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, at George Brothers Funeral Service.

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 am on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, at First Baptist Church of Jamestown. Burial will follow at Guilford Memorial Park.
