Ben Thomas Obituary
Clinton
Our son Benjamin James "Ben" Thomas went to his heavenly home on September 3, 2014 in a car accident in Clinton. Ben was born the 5th son in our blended family "the tie that binded us together" on March 8th 1990. He attended Clinton High, Pearl High School and Hinds Jr. College. He was a talented artist, guitarist and a lover of music. A loving, compassionate, tender hearted, gentle soul. He grew up in Pineview Baptist Church where at an early age, accepted the Lord as his Savior. We take great comfort in this assurance of knowing we will see our son again. Thank you Lord for allowing him to be your child and letting us hold him for 24 years. Ben was preparing to go to EMT school and later his dream was to become a firefighter like his dad. He was currently employed at Ewing & Ray Foundation, where he had been trained as a brick mason.
Thank you for the outpouring of love, prayers and support. We thank God for the peace that passes all understanding, and for a heavenly home.
Ben leaves behind his parents Ken & Pam (Hughes) Thomas, brothers Anthony (Becca) Thomas, Nathan Thomas, Scoty Hearst and Blake Hearst; grandmother Emma Lee Hughes; nephews Chase, Jay "Bird", Michael, and Jacob; niece Ava Claire; many aunts, uncles, cousins and a host of friends he loved dearly.
He was preceded by grandparents Jay & Lorraine Thomas, J.W. Hughes and cousins, Jason, Emily and Bryce.
"The battle is over and victory is won".
Visitation will be 5-8pm Friday, September 5, 2014 at Chancellor Funeral Home in Byram. Services will be 11am Saturday, September 6 at Scottland Baptist Church in Bentonia, with a one hour visitation prior to service time at the church. Interment will follow in the church cemetery.

I never got a chance to say goodbye after we stop working together. We had some good times together. Even though it's been 3 years ago, you will never be a thought in passing but a memory in gratitude that I've known you. Thank you

To the Thomas family: We buried the remains of our son just a year ago. Some folks say that in time you will get over it. We know from our experience as Christians, that time will help you learn to live with this earthly loss, but you never get over it. Keep the faith, only that your son rests in the loving arms of our Jesus and that through his precious blood, you will see your dear son again, and then for all eternity. God bless you and keep you in his never ending love.--Bob and Veva Gilfoy-Tupelo, MS
