<p>Agie Thornsberry was born September 13, 1924 in Kite, Kentucky. He is survived by siblings Selmer Thornsberry, Lois (Thornsberry) Howard and husband Rev. Donald, and Docia (Thornsberry) Mayes; brothers-in-law Mid Johnson (Faye), Ed Johnson (Donna); several nieces and nephews; sons Douglas (Carole) Thornsberry, James (Janice) Thornsberry, Robert (Cynthia) Thornsberry; daughter Patricia (Daniel) Thornsberry Ciarcia; daughter-in-law Barbara Thornsberry; and his loving partner Barbara J. Reitz.</p>
<p>Thorny was predeceased by wife Magdalene, son Dean Thornsberry., and brothers Elmer, Delmer, Marion and Dennis. He has eleven grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren who rocked his world.</p>
<p>He served in the Marine Corps during WWII. While serving, he was involved in breaking the beaches in five theaters in the Pacific. He was severely wounded at Okinawa, Japan, where he was awarded the Purple Heart.</p>
<p>Thorny was last employed at Anker Hold machine shop in Port Huron, MI as a machinist. He retired to Florida in 1978; he lived in Ruskin until his death.</p>
<p>After battling health issues since July, Thorny finally readied himself for his journey home and, as he grew weary, we remember this Bible verse, “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31.</p>
<p>Though we will miss you, we live by God’s promise to see you again. Until then, we hold tightly to that promise and our precious memories.</p>
<p>A memorial service was held at LifePath Hospice on February 20, 2013. There will be a full military burial at Mount Pleasant cemetery in Goodells, Michigan, over the July 4, 2013 holiday.</p>
