John Thomas was called home on Aug. 19, 2018, while in California.
John was a vital pillar in Anchorage, Alaska, providing community building programs across the city. John donated many hours and resources to countless programs in the community that promote positive outlets for youth and other opportunities for those in need, and housing for the homeless, military veterans and single parents across the city, regardless of an individual's socioeconomic status.
Please join the Thomas family on Saturday, Sept. 22, 2018, at 12 p.m., to celebrate John's departure to a better home!
Arrangements are with Lincoln Funeral Home in Lincoln, Calif., 916-645-2347.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
John and I were best friends. We did a lot of things together especially basketball. I miss my friend and love him very much. He was a great guy. He called me his COuRT buddy. Combo of my name and basketball court because we played so many games together.

I enjoyed many years of some very competitive basketball and tennis with John and loved seeing him bike around the city. Smart, kind, and funny is how I would describe him. I am very sorry for your loss and pray for the family. I will miss my friend!

I'm sorry for your loss. Please find comfort that God is having thoughts of peace and not of calamity in your time of distress. He is here for us and is willing to listen to us. Please take a moment to read Jeremiah 29: 11,12 when you can. Gods word is a soothing ointment when we are hurting.
