I am deeply sorry for the Thornberry family and our world for the loss of a great young man. Cathy raised him to be a gentleman for the proof was in his politeness and kindness towards others. I will always remember him as the supportive brother at Katie's games and the respectful son to his mother, siblings and all others who have had the pleasure to meet him. God Bless the Thornberry family and I pray that time will heal some of your pain. Heaven has a new angel. Ricky, Shannon, Ricky Jr, McKenna, Logan and Rylee Pernell
