I met Thomas during the summer of 2009 in CASA and we would go on to become cohort buddies in Rawlings Hall. I admired Thomas’ intellect and he imparted so much wisdom on me in such a short period of time. There are conversations that I had with him that I still remember till this day. My condolences go out to Thomas’ family and friends. Thomas was such an influential figure in my life during my college years and he will be missed dearly.

Love and Blessings,

Thomas you were a special person, kind and so proud to be who you were. You were the first person to introduce me to the scuba world and we talked for hours about what you wanted to teach people. We recently caught up at national harbor, and we talked about Olli and how it works.. I'm so sad to see this, but I know you're gonna make an amazing Angel

I was Thomas' first engineering instructor in the Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr. School of Engineering at Morgan State University. I remember him well as a inquisitive, responsible and very nice young man. His passing saddens me greatly. I extend my condolences to his family and all those who loved him. My the Lord, our God, grant him family strength and peace.

Thomas will truly be missed. He was such a light on this earth and left a huge impact on many. We grew up together during his time in Fairway and on the Saint Charles Bears. As we continued to grow, it was always so pleasant running into him from time to time. Thomas never changed. Always so sweet, respectful, and humble. I want to send my deepest condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in sweet peace.

Thomas will be truly missed. He was my classmate at Lackey and classmate at Morgan State. He was always so kind and always had a smile on his face. He and I would always talk to each other throughout our matriculation at Morgan. I'm deeply hurt by this and I will be praying tremendously for the entire Clifford family. He was a wonderful soul and will deeply be missed.

Thomas will be truly missed. I've had the opportunity to work with Thomas many times over the last few years at the BEYA Conference. He was always a joy to be around. I remember that no matter what was going on, Thomas always had a positive/Can-do attitude when it came to his assigned project. Condolences to his family! We are all blessed for the time we had with Thomas!

What can I say about Thomas?
When I met Thomas in 2010 applying for the student work study position in office of the Dean I saw a sweet humble spirit and that got him the job. He kept that job through his freshman, sophomore, and part of his senior year. Thomas was as I said a sweet humble spirit, always volunteering, wanting to learn, dedicated and determined. I will miss Thomas as I missed our bible study conversations after he graduated.

God bless you family and remember God loved him more. Sharrun Faulkner Brown - Morgan State University

Thomas was a young man who gave his heart, soul, and mind to support and help others. He was committed to service and gave his all, 100%, to serving others, no matter their age. He volunteered for everything as if it was his call to duty on earth. He made time to do good and became a great mentor and leader. Thomas was creative, innovative, and smart. He was kind, respectful, and fun. I will remember his smile and his peaceful approach to life. Thank you Thomas, for sharing some of your time on earth to help me and for being an outstanding leader in the Engineers on Deck program. My heartfelt sympathy to your family and friends. May you rest in peace.
