What a great man with so much joy to give. Not only did you love him, but you could truly feel all the love that he had to give to others and was so sincere with it. Could always lift you up no matter how low you felt. Rev Tom, you will be missed. Miss Gail, I love you,

Poppa Capps,
You will be greatly missed. Poppa and Momma Gail have been such a wonderful influence in my life when my life was at one of the lowest points ever.
I have had the privilege of meeting you guys 12 years ago at the World Lighthouse Worship Center in Maryland. Your Love for me and your encouragement has meant so very much to me and I have been honored to have known such a wonderful man of God.Your Spirit will always radiate here in my heart and memory. I will always remember you and the Words of encouragement from the Lord you shared. Over the years the closeness we have shared will be cherished. I know that Poppa has reached His place of eternal reward with the Lord Jesus where He is rejoicing with All the saints.
I will always remember Poppa's unique laugh ! That laugh could get the most depressed individual in stiches, but it was the Love that radiated through his laughter that could touch a depressed heart. All the joking, stories and fun times we have shared together, the miracles that the Lord has performed though you over the course of your earthly ministry here will continue to live on just as you will live on in our hearts too.
I LOVE YOU POPPA CAPPS and will miss you greatly.
My prayers for Momma Gail and all of the family members are with you, that the Lord will give you all a Greater Grace daily and allow your hearts to be filled with peace.
Much love,
Tim McClintock - The Son of the North
On behalf of the entire staff of Boza and Roel Funeral Home please accept our sincere condolences.
To God be the Glory! Brother Tom ran a good race! I will always remember his beautiful smile and Goliath faith! We also shared a wonderful memory when Judge Mitcham insisted that Gail and Tom travel with us on a cruise to Mexico as an appreciation! Gail was a wonderful and devoted judicial assistant and blessed to have both in our lives! Still remember brother Tom and Gail wearing a large Mexican hat. All of the prayers we shared and encouragement to each other! He is now sitting by the Father in heaven and sharing in the glory! Love to you Gail! Lupe
“AND SO THEY WENT”
“A tribute to the ministry of Tom and Gail Capps”
It started with a nudge, I’m, sure.
A small, almost undetectable voice, saying
"You... you are my servant. Go where I tell you, touch others with what I have given you. I give you a wife, a helpmate, someone to boost you up when your faith wavers in the least. Go, I will provide, and you will be sustained, and you will be mightily blessed."
And so they went.
As we, who are blessed, sit quietly in rows of varying attention, we listen, and learn, and we are touched. These people, who some call evangelists, we call friends.
I’m sure that sometimes they wonder, “Why, Lord? Why do we continue year after year, when sometimes it feels as if no one listens, no one cares?”
And yet, they come.
With love and laughter, and lessons of how to survive, no... To thrive, in a world of sin and hate. A world that daily grows more hostile and less accepting of anything that remotely resembles Christianity.
And, yet they come.
We want to do our part, but we sit and wonder, “has God called me to do something, and I have not heard His call?” Or, do I know with worldly certainty that surely He would not call me to do such an important job, because I am no scholar, I am no teacher, I am no healer? And, as surely as we think we have our answers ready why we should or could not do the things our Lord asks of us, we are revived.
We are revived with life lessons, experiences, words from God above; all given to us in language we understand tempered with love and humor.
Yes, they came.
And, as this time draws to a close, we hunger for just a little more time, just a little more love, just a little more of touching Christ through his servants.
To our wonderful friends, Brother and Sister Capps, I would like to say on behalf of every person who has sat in these pews and learned and laughed, that we are touched by you, we do hear God through you, and we will take it with us and use it long after you leave us.
If we could hold you here for much, much longer, our hearts would become more full, and our lives would be more changed, to do the work that our Lord has instructed us to do, through your words.
But, as you leave, we know that the next place you are led, will also be forever touched and forever changed.
I know the Lord is saying,
“Well done, my good and faithful servants.”
