Bio

HENDERSON - Funeral services for Andrew Lee "Andy" Threadgill, 57, of Henderson, will be 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 15, 2008, at the sanctuary of First Baptist Church, with the Rev. DeWayne Yates, the Rev. Robert Hall and Bro. Thomas G. Beene officiating. Burial will follow in Shiloh Cemetery under the direction of Rader Funeral Home of Henderson. Mr. Threadgill passed away Friday, April 11, 2008. He was born February 19, 1951, in Dallas, one of four children of A.J. Jack and Doris Edwards Threadgill, both deceased. As a young man, Andy showed great promise as a gifted athlete. A four-sport letterman at Bishop Lynch High school, he was forced to choose between collegiate scholarships for both football and baseball. He chose baseball, pitching for Dallas Baptist College, Arkansas State University and Arizona State University before his first bout with serious illness ended his potential for a professional career. Andy moved to Henderson and began to work in the family business. Upon his father's death, he became president of Jacson's Inc., a position he held for many years, jointly managing the corporation with his brother, Chris. Andy was a devoted and integral member of the board of directors of the Old Shiloh Cemetery Association. He was also a member of First Baptist Church of Henderson. Despite suffering three more episodes of potentially crippling and life-threatening illness, Andy maintained a positive outlook on life. Rather than dwell on his misfortunes, he would say that he had "too many sunrises to see and too many fish to catch" to think about such things. Fishing was one of his passions; only a good game of cards or smooth stretch of road beneath his Harley could compete with a day at the lake. He was known to be generous, quick-witted and merciless with a practical joke. He had an outstanding memory for good times and good friends, and he enjoyed plenty of both. Andy is survived by his two brothers, John D. Threadgill, and wife, Kay of Dallas and Chris Threadgill and wife, Teresa of Henderson; one sister, Susan Threadgill of Austin; and four nieces and one nephew, Whitney Mahan, and Erin, Abby, Kristen and Jackson Threadgill. Pallbearers will be Ronnie Rea, Carl Smith, Sammy Tillison, Don Jarrell, Craig Blevens, Stephen Stanfield, Rodney Ellis, Brad Keitt, Jackson Threadgill and Ronnie Threadgill. Honorary pallbearers include present and former associates of Jacson Inc. and the East Texas funeral profession.
