John P. Livesay, 49, of 2301 N. Jecker St., died at 8:55 p. m. Monday in the Galveston hospital as a result of burns suffered two weeks ago in a mobile home fire. On May 3, Livesay received burns to 70 percent of his body – second degree burns to 60 percent and third degree to 10 percent – when his mobile home caught fire and was destroyed. The fire started from gasoline fumes that had accumulated in the house while Livesay was cleaning his floors with the flammable liquid. It ignited when he lit a cigarette, fire department officials said. Although the doors to the house were open, the high humidity that morning did not give the fumes a place to go. He was taken to a Victoria hospital following the fire and then was flown by LifeFlight helicopter to the Galveston facility, where he remained in critical condition until his death, a hospital spokesman said. Livesay was born July 4, 1938, in Lockney. A resident of Victoria for a year, he was a former resident of Corsicana. The family will receive friends after 10 a. m. Wednesday at Artero Memorial Chapel. Graveside services will be held at 2 p. m. Thursday at Memory Gardens Cemetery in Edna with the Rev. Joe Webb officiating. Services are under the direction of Artero Memorial Chapel. Surviving are his mother, Ella Harrison Livesay of Victoria; and four sisters, Geraldine Byrd of Corsicana, Kathleen Price of Lubbock, Marion Groves of Victoria and Merry Bann of McAllen. Victoria Advocate, May 19, 1988 Man Receives Burns To 70 Percent of Body A Victoria man received burns to 70 percent of his body Tuesday morning when his mobile home was destroyed by a gasoline fire. Johnny P. Livesay, 49, of 2301 N. Jecker, received second degree burns to 60 percent of his body and third degree burns to 10 percent, said a spokesman for John Sealy Hospital Burn Center. Livesay was listed in critical condition at the Galveston hospital Tuesday night. He was originally taken to Citizens Medical Center after the 7:30 a. m. fire and at 11:30 a. m. was flown by LifeFlight helicopter to John Sealy, a spokesman for Citizens said. Livesay was cleaning the floors of his home with gasoline when he lit a cigarette igniting the fumes that had accumulated, said assistant fire chief Danny Fagan. He had the doors to the trailer open prior to the fire, but Fagan said the high humidity Tuesday morning did not give the fumes a place to go. He also said that Livesay’s clothing was saturated with fumes which attracted the flames. At first, officials were told that he was washing his clothes in gasoline, but they later determined he was cleaning his floors with the flammable liquid. The trailer was fully engulfed in flames when firemen arrived shortly after receiving the call. The heat from the fire caused one side of the home to explode shattering glass throughout the area. Although there are other trailers in the small park, none were in danger of burning because most of the fire remained inside the trailer, the assistant chief added.
