CHESAPEAKE, VA - Thomas Mustin, age 87, passed away on Wednesday, May 15, 2019, at Sentara Leigh Hospital in Norfolk, VA, surrounded by his loving family. He was born on February 28, 1932, in Montgomery, AL, to the late John and Ruth Mustin. He began his career as a plasterer in 1948 and ultimately became a building contractor within the surrounding Tidewater area. He graduated from Norview High School in 1949 and remained associated locally with his surviving classmates until his passing. On July 3, 1962, Thomas was driving at the intersection of Chesapeake Blvd. and East Little Creek Road when an angel from heaven appeared in his car. Thomas knew this was his last chance to give his life to Christ. He immediately emptied his car, drove to Christ’s Sanctified Holy Church on Sewell’s Point Road, Norfolk, VA, and gave his life to Christ. He became an ordained minister for Christ, and was the co-leader of Christ’s Sanctified Holy Church, Chesapeake, VA.
