My mom lived on Franklin trail down from Thomas's family. I used to go over and play Alexis Nintendo for hours. Thomas was just a little kid. I'm sorry to hear he passed. My heart goes out to Alexis and family.

My condolences to Thomas's family. I first met Thomas when he reached out to offer comfort and support to me, a complete stranger, after I'd been in two car accidents. We became friends and we'd get together and play games, uno, etc. we'd hang out with his dad, go on motorcycle runs and he even took me sailing.  We had lost touch but we would often reconnect and support each other. His heart is his legacy 

Once Thomas and I were on the reservation. We were with his mom's boyfriend at the time Barry. Barry was friends with, or worked for a guy on the rez, and we were at his house. He had a huge 10 car garage loaded with arcade games and a pool table. We played for hours. Then Barry asks us if we want a ride in a limo. They just so happened to have one. Of course we said yes, so he asked us where we'd like to go. "McDonalds" we both said. Off we went. Both of us standing out the sun roof all the way there. When we pulled up all the teenagers who hang out there at 9:00 at night came pouring out. We both felt like rockstars.

I grew up right across Franklin Trail from Thomas.  One summer him and I played through a pc game called Masters of Orion.  Took about 3-4 weeks. We traded turns which lasted 10-15 minutes at first, but by the end it was an hour + per turn. Every night we'd snack and play until his dad -Tommy P- got home from working at the casino. We would put Waterworld in the vhs player. It'd play thru, auto rewind and then play again. We saw that movie about 60 times that summer. Still talked about it every time we got together.

I remember him taking me sailing, he was so happy like nothing mattered. I wish that for him always. 

Thomas was my brother this picture he was sailing in Lake Milacs, it was his favorite thing to do in the world. He was my baby brother l, however, I always felt that he was my protector. I miss him so much, I truly can’t believe he is gone. Sail high my sweet brother. I love you always. I hope that your pain free and are with dad, Josh, and Cain.
