A Life Well Lived
Gone Fishing… Permanently
Theodis Mims cast his final line on October 30, 2025, surrounded by love and peace. Born on January 3, 1948, in Palestine, TX, he carried deep roots, a gift for connection, and a life of service. From the U.S. Navy to 24 years with the San Diego Police Department, and decades as a Funeral Director, he offered fairness, compassion, and dignity.
Family was his anchor, joy his compass—whether fishing, cooking, or spending time with friends and loved ones. His wisdom, warmth, and steady hand remain. By every measure, Mims lived a life well lived.
