Dorian Thomas Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Dorian was born on December 24, 2005, to DeVonna and Richard. He lived on the Minot Air Force base with his parents until he and his father relocated to California in 2009. He spent time between California and North Dakota until he made the decision to relocate to Minot permanently in 2021. He attended elementary and middle school in California and Minot High School with an aspiration to go to trade school and take care of his mom.
Dorian was an avid sports fan, he loved the Lakers, going to 49ers and USC games with his dad. Sundays were for watching football with his mom and dad. He had the ability to breakdown the plays and wanted to do a sports podcast. His favorite places to visit were Universal Studio and his Nana's in Kansas City, MO. At any given time, you could find him playing Xbox Sports, eating Takis and other hot chips alike, watching YouTube videos, listening to Drake & all other music, and playing Scattagories.
Dorian will be remembered for the joy, laughter, and light he brought to every gathering. Whether he was spontaneously rapping, making someone laugh through their hardest times, or ensuring his mom was cared for, his kindness and humor left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him. He left this world far too soon, and the hearts he leaves behind will grieve deeply. His laughter, compassion, and unwavering love will forever live on in the memories of all who knew him.
Dorian is survived by his parents, DeVonna (Milton) Harris, and Richard (Jovon) Thomas; siblings, Karley, Houston, Ashantai, Taishaun, Alyssa, Layla, and Keira; grandfather, Bill; grandfather, Sylvester (Donna); godmother, Bernadine; uncles, Jonathan and Jason; aunts, Lacey and Denise; cousin, Love; many other aunts and uncles; god-siblings; cousins; and countless friends.
