It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Thomas Jude Hensgens, a beloved husband, father, and friend, who departed this life on January 20, 2026, at the age of 70. Born on November 2, 1955, in Shreveport, Louisiana, Thomas lived a life filled with dedication, love, and compassion for those around him.

Thomas was a devoted landowner and a proud member of the member of the community, where he worked hard to support his family and contribute to the land he cherished. Being a steward of the earth, he never hesitated to lend a helping hand to those in need.

He was known for his warm laughter, his witty sense of humor, and his unwavering support for his family, always finding joy in the simplest moments spent together.

His family was his greatest joy and source of pride, and they will forever carry his memory in their hearts.
