Richard Ayles

Richard Thomas “Tommy” Ayles, 64, of Needville, TX, was born on Feb. 21, 1953, to Jack and Ruth (Wright) Ayles and passed away on June 24, 2017.

Tommy was a loving husband and father. He was a hard worker who set a great example for all those who knew him. He was a rock of consistency. You could almost always find him perched on his favorite stool in his workshop tinkering with some sort of project. He was always a reliable friend, a mostly-patient teacher, and caring husband.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Jack and Ruth Ayles; brother, Jay Ayles; sister, Patricia Ayles.

Tommy is survived by his wife, Shirley Hohlbaugh Ayles; sons, Richard Thomas Ayles II and wife Amanda, Joshua Alan Ayles and wife Crystal; granddaughter, Rosie Ayles; sisters, Penny Pioquinto and husband Greg, Jackie Adams and husband Ken, Pam Chapin and husband Tom; nephews, Paul Pioquinto, Jason Ayles, Jeffery Adams, and Justin Ayles; nieces, Amanda Austin, Rebecca Beal and husband Chris; along with many friends and other loved ones.
