Linwood Thomas Bonneville Sr.

Linwood’s Journey Linwood Thomas Bonneville, Sr., son of the late George Parker Bonneville and Goldie Mae Townsend Bonneville, was born on Friday, October 28, 1960 in Horntown, Virginia. Our Heavenly father called him home on Friday, August 29, 2025 amongst family and friends at the University of Maryland Shore Medical Center in Easton, Maryland. Tommy, as he was known to most attended Accomack and Worcester County Public Schools. He would later enroll in the Civil Air Patrol where he would volunteer emergency services to help others with disaster relief and search and rescue. He also had the opportunity to jump out of airplanes. Tommy worked numerous jobs but would spend most of his years at Kelly Foods Corporation in Berlin, Maryland, and Bel-Art Products in Pocomoke City, Maryland, from where he would later retire in 2023. Tommy and Brenda met at Showell Farms in 1984 through Tommy’s father, Parker. They fell in love and married on April 27, 1991, and celebrated 34 years of marriage. Even though Tommy wasn’t a member of a church he was a God-fearing man who loved the Lord. When he did attend service, he enjoyed singing along to soulful church hymns and joyfully fellowshipping with the congregation. Tommy had many hobbies. He worked on cars and cut grass, but fishing was his passion. He had the methods on how to catch a fish down to a science. He knew the perfect place, time, weather and even what kind of bait and fishing line to use. You couldn’t tell him he wasn’t a professional. If he didn’t catch anything within 5 minutes, that meant it wasn’t any fish there, and he was ready to go somewhere else. He also loved spending time with family, having fun, laughing and joking and listening to music. He was the life of the party and would tear any dance floor up. He loved many genres of music but oldies but goodies were where his heart was. Some of his favorite artists were Al Green, Lenny Williams, Marvin Gaye, Marvin Sease, Otis Redding, and Pokey Bear. Anyone who knew Tommy knew his love for the Washington Redskins. He didn’t mind showing off his apparel, from his hats down to his pajamas and shoes. He was a proud fan and would talk trash whether they were winning or losing. Fond and loving memories of his life will always be cherished by: his wife, Brenda Bonneville of 34 years; 2 daughters, LaQuenta Bonneville (Michael) and Tyshika Bonneville Laws (Nathan); 4 sons, Linwood Thomas Bonneville, Jr., (Yvona), Titus Townsend, Thomas Bonneville (Jessica), and Jason Bonneville (Brittany); 15 grandchildren, Shaeaun, Shayla, Shamarion, Angel, Nickolas, Taekwon, Tazmeir, Tarious, Travion, Tizeir, Teraji, Ta’Shyra, Londyn, Kaliyah and Jason; one great grandson, Kartier Johnson; brothers, Micheal (Prudence), Ernie (Cynthia), George (Lendora), Anthony (Cording); sisters, Margaret (Howard) and Doris; a special brother, David Jones (Lisa); a bonus daughter, Tiyisha Grisby; three bonus grandchildren, Cervone, Day’shawn and Jakhi; three dear friends, Wendell Hitch, Joseph Melendez, and Edward Taylor as well as a host of nieces, nephews, family and friends.
