Thomas is loved and will be truly missed by so many! He was a very calm and laid back person who loved and felt things so deeply. Thomas cherished his family and his friends. When people remember him, I know they will recall how he always had a kind word to say, a gentle hug to give, or his beautiful smile that always lit up any room. His charismatic nature, that drew people to him just came naturally. Thomas was so smart and most definitely the life of any party or family gathering! Although he had a quiet subtle manner about him he loved to have fun! He loved playing video games with his brother Zack, best friend Wyatt, and many other friends. Thomas absolutely cherished all his siblings, his sisters, Melinda and Alana. His brothers, Zack, Noah, Dillon, JJ, Austin, and Lil Joe. The sibling bond they all shared was unique, extremely special and his love ran very deep for them. He was an amazing chess player, he spent several quiet nights at home playing along side his girlfriend Fayeth (Nyx). His favorite movie was Harry Potter. His favorite T.V. show was The Walking Dead. He had a passion for cars, whether he was working on them or collecting his favorite Hotwheels models. Thomas you will always be remembered! You are deeply missed and very much loved!
