Thomas Ball

Thomas Earl Ball, age 66, entered eternal rest on Sunday, October 12, 2025, in Alexandria at Christus St. Frances Cabrini Hospital. 

The Visitation for Thomas will be held on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. at Gallagher Funeral Home. Services will begin at 12:00 p.m. with Bro. Kevin Simmons officiating. Interment will follow in Forest Lawn Memorial Park. 

He was preceded in death by his parents, Earl Dean Ball and Geneva Inez Norsworthy.

Those left to cherish his memory are his siblings, Danny Ball, Kathy Edwards (Michael), Mona Heyse, Leslie Ball (Troyce), and Marion Ball; step-mother, Rita Achee (Ray); nieces and nephews, Ashley Shreve, Erik Edwards, Tiffany Womack, Danielle Prudhomme, Jason Ball, and Matthew Heyse; and numerous great nieces and nephews, as well as close friends. 

Thomas loved music and playing his guitar. He was also a talented carpenter and cabinet maker, able to remodel an entire house. He loved tinkering with cars and helping people with their projects. 

He always had a smile on his face and his laughter was contagious. Thomas was a simple man and was happy just hanging with the people he loved. He may not have had much, but Thomas did not require much; a Dr. Pepper and a Little Debbie Cake would make his day. 

Pallbearers honored to serve are Jason Ball, Matthew Heyse, Ryan Womack, Brandon Womack, Tucker Shreve, and Taylor Shreve. Honorary Pallbearers are members of the Winn Parish Sheriff Office Chase Team.
