Thomas Nicholas Wills, 41, of Nederland, passed away on April 3, 2026. He was born on September 4, 1984 to Tommy and Arlene Wills. He spent most of his childhood on the baseball and football field. He loved the outdoors but especially hunting and fishing. He took pride in his work as an I/E Planner and a member of the Emergency Response Team at Methanex Beaumont. He had many hobbies, all of which he was extremely talented in, but one that he especially enjoyed was knife making. His work was very high quality such that there was a waitlist of people from all over wanting one of his knives. He was a great cook but smoking and grilling was his forte. He often did so for family gatherings. He never met a stranger and left a lasting impression on everyone he knew. He was a loving son, brother, partner, Uncle T, cousin and friend and he will be missed by so many.
He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Tom and Elizabeth Wills, and Pete and Jean Girolamo; uncle, Larry Ward; and great aunts and uncles that adored him Carrie Girolamo, Marie Girolamo, Joel Girolamo, Fritz Girolamo, and Kathryn Leocadi. He is survived by the love of his life, Nicole Guidry; parents, Tommy and Arlene Wills; sister, Jennie Tompkins and husband, Dylan; nephew, Dean Tompkins; aunt, Carolyn Ward; cousins, Serena Girolamo and Samuel, Bryan Ward and Melissa, Dylan Ward, Valeen and Bella.
Serving as pallbearers will be Dylan Tompkins, Cody Guidry, Brady Millican, Scott Mistrot, Eric Risinger, Shane Miller, Chris Smith and Tyler Thomas. Rev. James Brown will be officiating the service.
The family invites you to dress casually as Thomas was a laid back guy.
The family will receive friends and loved ones for visitation on Saturday, April 11, 2026, from 9:00am until 11:00am at Melancon Levingston Funeral Home , 1605 Avenue H, Nederland, Texas. Following this time of remembrance, a funeral service will begin at 11:00am concluding with a graveside service at Oak Bluff Memorial Park, Port Neches.
May he rest in eternal peace.
