Thomas E. Attaway, 67, entered into eternal rest with our Heavenly Father on May 1, 2025. He was born on January 29, 1958, in Birmingham, Alabama. Thomas was preceded in death by his loving wife, Mary C. Attaway, as well as his parents, James Fowler and Mary Ann Attaway, and his brother-in-law, Thomas Glass (Robbie). He is survived by his daughter, Danielle Rawson (RJ); his son, Robert Attaway (Crystal); his brothers, Francis Attaway (Debbie) and Stephen Attaway (Shelley); his sister, Margaret Germann (Al); his brother-in-law William "Bill" Glass (Debbie); and his beloved grandsons, Nathanael and William Rawson as well as countless nieces and nephews.

Thomas dedicated most of his life to the steel industry, retiring from O'Neil Steel in 2020. He was a strong man who loved his wife dearly and worked tirelessly for his children and family. He was always willing to give everything to anyone in need. Thomas will be missed but not forgotten by those who knew and loved him. May he find peace in the next life.
