Thomas Faux Sr., 82, of New Boston, Mo., died Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2020 at his home.

Thomas John Faux Sr. was born on Oct. 1, 1938, to Elton Thomas and Hazel Elizabeth (Cole) Faux near Patterson, Iowa. Tom graduated from Patterson High School.

In 1958 he married Barbara Shutt, and to that union was born one son, Thomas Faux Jr.

Tom was drafted into the Army in 1961, having boot camp at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., after which he was stationed at Fort Sill, Okla.

In 1980, he and Janean moved to Missouri, where he raised Angus cattle, registered Quarter Horses, and cattle dogs. “Doc” was his favorite horse and “Max” his favorite cattle dog, but “PeeWee” was the special house dog.
