Thomas Earl Wiggins, Jr.

Thomas Earl Wiggins, 58, of Dinwiddie, passed away on Sunday, May 29, 2022. Thomas was born and raised in Gates County, North Carolina before moving and settling to Dinwiddie County, Virginia. He was preceded in death by his father, Thomas Wiggins, Sr.; his biological son, Adrian Wiggins; and his step-grandchild, Bentley Nase. Thomas was a certified loader operator and trainer as well as a CDL holder. He served as a longtime heavy equipment operator for the state of North Carolina before working for CFS (also known as Meridian Waste). Thomas enjoyed fishing, camping, dancing, singing, family time, and spending time with his wife. He was a great cornhole player but an even better teammate. He will be remembered as a devoted husband, family patriarch, father, grandfather, and friend. To Thomas, everyone was a friend. If you didn't like Thomas, you were likely the one that had the issue! Thomas was a quiet man, but he led with love, passion, and patience. Thomas also loved the Lord and was a righteous servant.

Thomas is survived by his loving wife, Pamela Zoanna Wiggins; his step-children, Destiney Barnes (Donald), Dustin Nase (Hollie), and Derek Sherlock (Tiffani); mother, Laura Wiggins; biological children, Kashanna Wiggins and Shantell Wiggins; grandchildren, Jordan Nase (Ofa), Justin Nase (fiancé, Kaylee), Kyla Nase, Kynslee Nase, Donald Alex Barnes (Christina), Dennis Barnes (Jordyn), Savannah Barnes, Austin Sherlock, Preslee Sherlock, and Paislee Sherlock; great grandchildren, Aiden Barnes and Malina Nase; sisters, Linda Riddick and Barbara Wiggins; and brother Earl Outland. Although not biological, Thomas treated his step-children and step-grandchildren as though they were his own, and for that we are grateful.

A celebration of life will be held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 1800 Johnson Road, Petersburg on Thursday, June 2, at 6 PM.
