My condolences to the family for the loss of your loved one. I met Thurmon thru Bob & Mike around 10 years ago. We shared a common interest in nature and spirituality. Thurmon was one of the kindest and most compassionate person I have ever known. He was a bright light in the world. I will miss him.

I was in Ramey Elementary with Thumond and remember I had a big crush on him. We went to Jr high together and to John Tyler. I didn't know him well but always liked him as he was unassuming and a little shy, not like other boys. I wish I could have had the opportunity to have known him better. To his family; I am so sorry for your loss.
