Thomas R. Paradis

Lincoln - Thomas Ross Paradis, 64, a lifelong resident of Lincoln, returned peacefully to his Lord and Savior on Monday, December 2, 2019. The kind, gentle son of Thomas and Viola (Tibbetts) Paradis, also of Lincoln, was born July 28, 1955. Although he lived a quiet life, the impact he made on those around him will continue to reverberate now and always. He could create anything and rebuild everything including rifles, small engines, and lives. He was a humble man, thankful for his wife, his family, and his 20 plus year employment at H.C Haynes Inc. He extended his passion for the great outdoors to those closest to him with hunting and fishing adventures never to be forgotten. Thomas was predeceased by his parents and by his daughter, his sweet angel, Stephanie. He is survived by his soulmate, his loving wife, Karen (Raymond) Paradis; his daughter, Lindsay Jones, and son-in-law, Robert Jones Jr. of Holden; two stepsons: Shane Graham of Old Town, and Shawn Graham with wife Kimberly of Wilton, as well as a son; his five siblings: Albert Paradis, Cecil Paradis, Pearl Smith, Sandra Barker, and Philip Paradis, along with their families; eleven grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren; a very special nephew, Reggie Paradis. Friends are invited to visit with the family 6-8 P.M. Friday, December 6 at the Lamson Funeral Home, Clay Chapel, 7 Lee Road, Lincoln. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Our Lady of the Eucharist, St. Mary of Lourdes Catholic Church, Lincoln, with the Rev. Richard Malo, pastor, presider. Interment will be at the Lincoln Cemetery in the spring.
