Mercedez, as well as extended family and friends. He is predeceased by his parents Damon & Gloria Thomas; daughter, Kenya N.

Our family would like to extend our deepest gratitude and appreciation to the many phone calls, texts and condolences from close family and friends. A Celebration of life will be announced at a later date.
