Mechille Thomas

Mechille Lee Thomas, 55, of Daytona and Panama City Beach went to be with the Lord on Friday, September 5, 2025. She was born on February 11, 1970.
Born and raised in Panama City, and spending the other half of her life in Daytona Beach, she developed a lifelong love for boats and the beach, where she felt most at peace. She loved to travel and cherished making memories with those she held dear.
For over the past 26 years, she shared her life with her husband, Mike. Together, they built homes, worked side by side in business, and created a blended family filled with love, including 5 children, 8 grandchildren, and many beloved dogs. Their journey was rich with deep connection, adventure, and joy.
