Lowell Thomas Perdue

Lowell Thomas “Tommy” Perdue, 85, of Perdue Hollow Road (Brushfork), Bluefield, WV, was called home to be with his Lord and Savior on Thursday, September 12, 2019.

Born on March 18, 1934 in Brushfork, he was a son of the late Giles S. and Sally Caldwell Perdue. He had been a lifelong resident of Brushfork and was a member of the Brushfork Baptist Church. He was retired from the mining industry where he worked on mining motors for most of his working career. He loved the outdoors, gardening, hunting, fishing, and working in his yard. Most of all, he loved his wife, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. They were the light of his life, but he was truly the light of all of our lives. 85 years was not long enough to have our husband, soulmate, best friend, hero and popal. Heaven is rejoicing because it gained a one-of-a-kind angel but here on earth he will be extremely missed, and a huge hole is in our hearts. Love ya Pops!
