Steven Nevada Tomlinson, 65, passed away Sunday, January 31, 2021 in Jonesville. He was a high school graduate of Harrisonburg High School, class of 1973. He was a member of Meyers Bend Pentecostal Church. During his employment years he drove Charles Chip Truck, worked offshore, was a board member on Family Helping Families and retired from Catahoula Correctional Center after 17 ½ years. He loved to work with his honey bees, was an avid gardener, and loved collecting junk trucks, horse trading, old tractors and anything outdoors. His true passion was helping people. Doors were opened to do this more when he became a board member for Family Helping Families. He loved to give to anyone he felt was in need or that he saw needed help. He has distributed food boxes, diapers, heaters, sheets and many other items. To some he may have seemed gruff, but he had a very soft heart under his rough exterior. He had a great love for his fellow man.
He was preceded in death by his father, Paul W. Tomlinson.
