Obituary For Thomas R. Courtney

Thomas R. Courtney of Steubenville, Ohio, went home to be with his Lord and Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, on November 27, 2015. He was born on February 5, 1946, and raised in Weirton, WV, son of the late Charles E. and Florence E. Servoin Courtney. He was the beloved husband of Nancy Hobson Courtney. Mr. Courtney was an Elder at Restoration Church, formerly Ohio Valley Christian Center, where he found Jesus as his Savior and was a faithful member for 43 years. He was also a strong supporter of Christian education and served as Chairman of the Board at Jefferson County Christian School for a number of years. Mr. Courtney was a graduate of Weir High and held a BA from West Liberty State College in history education. He was a retired employee from Weirton Wholesale.

He was also the proud Pap of Thomas Graham Courtney and soon to arrive twin grandsons. We would like to thank the DCI dialysis clinic employees for all the wonderful care given to Mr. Courtney these past 7 years.

    My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I had the privledge of working with Tom at Weirton Wholesale.I have to tell you I never met such sweet and caring man in my life. I knew he got sick years ago and always wondered how he was doing. I was so sadden to hear of his passing. I know he was so proud of his kids and I'm sure he was a very proud pap! How sad he didn't get to meet his twin grandsons, but I can just hear him now bragging about them. You all have to be so proud of the special man Tom was. He was loved by so many. God Bless You All
