Throughout his life, Tyronn touched many through his work and community involvement. He lived for a time in New Orleans, where he worked with New Orleans Tours, and later served in the Baton Rouge court system. His commitment to public service was evident when he ran as a candidate for the District 7 seat on the Metro Council of Baton Rouge in 2016. In September 2018, he proudly earned a certificate of completion for Drug Court Training from Dellas County Court Services, demonstrating his dedication to continued growth and service.

Tyronn’s legacy lives on in the hearts of those who loved him. He is lovingly remembered by his devoted wife of over 26 years, Barbara Miller Thomas, and his daughter, Karan C. Mashia.

Thomas and Sandy K. Thomas of Brusly, Louisiana; Alonzo A. Thomas of Lake Charles, Louisiana; and Anthony J. (Ada) Thomas of California. Tyronn was also a cherished presence in the lives of his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his beloved son, Tyronn T. Thomas Jr., his parents, and siblings Cynthia Thomas Henderson, Alex Thomas III, Leroy Thomas, Marvin Thomas, and Percy Thomas.

Known fondly as "T," "Ty," and "Shaggydog," Tyronn will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to know and love him.
