A genuine caring person. Although our musical careers together was a short tenured one, we garnered a great deal of respect for one another and a lasting friendship. I am so glad to have spent some time with you after moving back to Memphis. You presented yourself in a manner that showed you were a child of GOD. Rest in peace as you join the other musicians in that heavenly band.

Thomas, this candle is in remembrance of you. You were such a loving sweet and kind person. You never met a stranger. You were like a cousin to me. We were all like one Big Happy Family from Capleville School. You brought laughter to so many people, and were one of the Best Guitar and Saxophone Player that I know. You will be Missed! My condolences to your Beautiful Wife, Deloris and the rest of your family.

Thomas will be missed by us here on earth, however, he will be welcomed by the GOD and all of his heavenly family and friends. One of his close Ebony Webb friends, my spouse left here Dec. 2016, Gregory Davis, Sr., so my prayer is that the two of them will connect in Heaven, keep the music going and allow their angel spirit to watch over their spouses and children. Dear Lois I will keep you prayer to aid you in the upcoming process. Love Doris Cox Davis

Absence from the body, means presence with the Lord, Paul gives us such a sobering reminder of those who believe in Christ as our Savior! Thomas was a brother and friend to my husband and I. God placed him in our lives and he became a lifelong friend! We bless God for the time we had with him! Thomas was a consummate guitar playing professional! God plucked a beautiful flower and spirit for his heavenly choir! Lois and family, if you need us, don't hesitate to call! Just know that Thomas is in the arms of our Maker!
We will miss our Brother!
