Thomas Gregory Mingia, 60, of Dinwiddie passed away on Friday, December 31, 2021 with his wife by his side. He was preceded in death by his father, Irving C. Mingia; mother, Judy Tipton; and sister, Belinda Burnette.
Thomas -otherwise known as “Mingia”, was employed by Clay Home Medical for 27 years as a Routing Supervisor. He knew his medical equipment and had several patients that really loved him and would call even if they didn’t need anything. He was an extraordinary man, he was always willing to help anyone he could. He enjoyed doing home improvements and repairs for anyone. Mingia loved horsepower and was always in his garage working on someone’s car or playing with his own. No truer statement has been said than “if he couldn’t do it, then it couldn’t be done.” Mingia was even better at being a loving and faithful husband, married 37 years to his high school sweetheart, together they raised one incredible son that he was so proud of. He raised him up to be one fine young man and was blessed to receive a kidney from him in 2012.
He loved being a grandfather and enjoyed every minute he spent with Elliott, more often than not, instigating a little mischief. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was loved and admired by so many people.
He is survived by his wife, Jackie Mingia; son, Wesley Mingia and wife Megan; grandson, Elliott Mingia; niece, Paige Tharp, husband Dwayne; great nephew, Chandler Tharp; great niece, Emma Tharp. He had 2 exceptional friends in Karl Hartle and Sam Clay. He also had numerous friends and loving family that live in North Carolina.
