Tom always had a smile on his face and never met a stranger. He was very proud of his daughter, Blair, and would brag on her to anyone that would listen. Tom was always willing to help others whenever the need arose. He was a hard worker and loved to fish any time he got a chance. In the last 10 years, he found his way to Jesus and became a living testimony for the Lord. He was currently taking remote learning classes with the Ministry Training Institute at Samford University
He was preceded in death by his parents, J. Miles Thomas and Margaret (Marge) Ring Thomas. He is survived by his only child, Blair Thomas DeRuiter (Alex), his siblings, Kathy Thomas Richards (Floyd), Joseph Miles Thomas Jr., Kenneth James Thomas (Rhonda).
