Stephen "Foz" Carroll Thomas, age 55, of Sanford, NC, passed away Monday, October 3, 2022, at his home.
He was born in Lee County on October 13, 1966 to Stewart Ellis Thomas and Penny Hackney Thomas. In addition to his parents, he is survived by his children Tyler Thomas and fiancé Makayla, Hannah Thomas all of Sanford; siblings Stewart Ellis Thomas, II of Sanford, Bryan Thomas of North Myrtle Beach, SC, Melynda Johnson and husband Jeff of Sanford and Robert Thomas and wife Nikki of Pigeon Forge, TN.
Stephen, fondly known as "Foz" had a heart of gold and dearly loved his family. He called each one every day to say hello and tell them he loved them. His huge laugh could be heard from miles around and his manners were impeccable. He was kind, polite, considerate of others and had the most beautiful big-brown eyes. Foz loved the UNC Tarheels, fishing and golfing but loved his two children more than anything. He was a 1985 graduate of Lee County Senior High School and attended Louisburg College. He received an Associate Degree from Central Carolina Community College and was a licensed HVAC contractor. He had owned and operated Thomas Heating & Air and was a member of First Baptist Church of Sanford and attended years ago. His family will miss him and miss his daily phone calls.
A memorial service and Celebration of Life will be held Sunday, October 9, 2022 at 2:00 PM at Grace Chapel Church with Mr. Robbie Yow and Rev.Joel Murr officiating. The family will receive friends immediately following the memorial service.

So very very sorry for all of the family. We just found out service was this past Sunday or we would have been there for all of you and especially Stephen. Was truly a pleasure watching Stephen mature into a beautiful young man and yes, his contagious smile and laughter will be with us always.
Much love
Robert and Gay Lynn Sidden
