Brian Thomas Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Brian was born in Iowa City on September 10, 1967, to Edith (Lewis) and Donald Thomas Sr. He graduated from Iowa City High School with the Class of 1985. Brian was a hard working and loyal person, dedicating 30 years to B-Bops, working as a manager. He was a die-hard Hawkeye fan on Saturday's and was always rooting for the Raider's on Sunday.
Anyone who knew Brian could attest to his quick-witted sense of humor and his love of sarcasm. His greatest joys were spending time with the family and great friends whom he dearly loved. One of his greatest joys was hanging out with his nephew, Nate. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Brian is survived by his sisters, Donna Elarton and Sylvia Thomas; many nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents; and his brother, Donnie.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to Brian's family.
