He lived in Tooele, Utah, later moved to Stockton, Utah, then to the Shivwits reservation in Ivins, Utah. He attended Sherman Indian High School in Riverside, California, Snow Canyon Middle and High School, and Dixie State College.
In his younger years Thomas loved to play basketball in school and played in all Indian basketball tournaments and danced at pow-wows. He was a Colts Fan, loved to listen to music, and his favorite color was blue. He always had to look and smell fresh when he went out. The last two years he has had three best friends, Koa (Koa Whoa's); Business (Bitness); and Bear, also known as Steve. Some of his favorite sayings were Nah dawg nah dawg; Not so sorry 'bout it; So so what 'bout it; hells yeah; I'm perfectly fine; and Love ya.
Thomas is survived by his children Jada Wash, Patricia Wash, Torrance Wall, Madison Wash, Mason Wash, and Imani Wacondo; grandson Christopher Snow; niece Shanesse Moon and her son Sonny moon; and numerous uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, and nephews.
