Nolan David Ray Thomas was born into the loving arms of his parents Izabelle and Luke Thomas on January 17, 2026, and on that same day was gently carried into the arms of Jesus.
From his very first breath Nolan knew only love. He was deeply loved, cherished, and will forever be a part of the hearts of all who awaited him.
Nolan is the beloved son of devoted parents who held him close, prayed over him, and showed him how deeply he was treasured. His life, though short, has left an eternal mark on all of his family.
We lean on the strength God provides, just as David did: It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure.
Psalm 18:32
Nolan Thomas will always be loved, always be remembered, and always be held close-in our hearts and in our faith-until the day we are reunited again.
Nolan is survived by his parents, Izabelle and Luke, grandparents Phil and Rachael Gergen, Kevin and Lori Thomas, great-grand parents Rollie Sessions, Ed and Paula Gergen, and great-great grandmother Jackie Gergen, and several loving aunts and uncles.
He is preceded in death by great-grandparents Kathy (Rollie) Sessions, Elmer (Verna) Thomas, and Darrell (Bobbie) Rapp.
A private service will be held for the immediate family.
