Thomas Eugene Mixon

It is with heavy hearts that we have to say goodbye to our beloved Thomas “Tommy” Eugene Mixon, 55, of Ponchatoula, LA. He lost his life in a tragic car accident on November 22, 2024.

Tommy was a skilled and dedicated Instrument Mechanic for Shell Norco, where he worked for the past 18 years. He was a mentor to many, and known affectionately by his cherished coworkers as “Winston, the Workhorse”. Outside of work, he was an avid fan of Pink Floyd and the Star Wars saga, with a deep love for classic movies and cartoons - where you were likely to find added to your DVR if he thought you should watch it. His enthusiasm for life and his eclectic interests brought joy to everyone around him. Tommy was also a proud Mason and a member of Germania Lodge #46, a brotherhood that held a special place in his life.

He is survived by his mother, Norma Huber, and siblings Carlene Melton (Charles), Bonnye Wills (Mike), Leslie Mixon (Jaime), Sandy Onellion, and his “Moon Pie” Laurel Mixon, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. 

He is preceded in death by his father, Murray Mixon, stepmother Annie Blocker, and stepfather Edward Huber.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend the visitation at Harry McKneely & Son Funeral Home in Ponchatoula, 100 W. Magnolia Street, Ponchatoula, Louisiana 70454, on Monday, December 2, 2024, beginning at 9:30 AM until the funeral service begins at 12:00 PM.

Tommy’s kind heart, sense of humor, and passion for music and film will be deeply missed but forever remembered.

In keeping with Tommy’s generous, encouraging spirit - please pay it forward with a gift to Shriners Hospital for Children in lieu of flowers.
