Publish in a newspaper

Robert "Bobby" Paul Thomas, who passed away on September 10, 2025, at the age of 34, was a source of joy and kindness to everyone who knew him. Born on February 2, 1991, in Cambridge, Mass., Bobby's warmth and love will be deeply missed.

Bobby was the loving son of Tina Papa and Robert W. Thomas, and the cherished brother of his little sister, Kelsey Papa, who looked up to him. Bobby is also survived by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Courtney, who remained dear to him as his first Love was with him in his final time.

From a young age, Bobby showed his kindness and care for others. His life was defined by his generosity and selflessness, always going out of his way to make others feel loved.

Bobby loved music festivals and the energy of live music, as well as attending sports events where he could share the excitement with friends and family. His enthusiasm was contagious, and his presence brought happiness wherever he went.

Though Bobby is no longer with us, the memories of his laughter, his warmth, and his love will remain in our hearts. We take comfort knowing that his spirit will inspire us to live with the same love, kindness, and joy he brought into our lives.

Bobby's life teaches us to appreciate every moment and to make a positive difference in the world. While we say goodbye, we are filled with gratitude for the time we had with him. Rest in peace, Bobby. Your light will never fade.

A Celebration of Life will be September 26, Between 10 AM-12 PM at Boston Cremation 287 Main St, Malden, MA.
