He was 36 years, the day he was killed, he had taking chicken out to cook for him and Queen that evening. It was his off day. He had a brief visit at his mom’s house..then he went to his aunt house to pick up a package. Thomas laid on the ground following ejection from his vehicle, fighting to breathe. Strangers stayed with him until rescue arrived, unable to save him, they instead called his time of death. Thomas was killed at the corner of Queen’s school bus stop. He was killed the day after Zechariah 14th birthday. Thomas’s family played his Spotify wedding playlist at his funeral instead.

Thomas… always told everyone he loved them. He’d say, “ Alright, love you bro”. He had no idea how loud his absence would be for all who had the fortune to know him. Thomas, was an amazing human being.

We love and Miss him beyond measure.
