Thomas had the energy and soul of a big kid. He loved remote control cars, flying kites, riding bikes, motorcycling, camping, video games, tattoos, hot wheels cars, paint ball, nerf guns, Marvin the Martain, everything Colorado and of course the Denver Broncos. He was also the kind of person that would try to fix anything. He was a handyman to his credit. Cars, plumbing, construction, electrical, you name it. He was crafty too, always had little art projects he liked to work on. He had that knack to construct, paint, draw and build. He had the heart of an angel and would never say NO to anyone that needed his help. Ever! Thomas did a little something for everyone who knew him. He'd help you move (even across state lines), fix a flat tire, give you a ride somewhere, cut your grass, fix your leaky toilet, hang up a curtain, put up drywall, put together a shelving unit, move furniture, anything. Anything anyone needed done, he never hesitated. But the best thing he did was be his son's father.

Thomas and Joshua were inseparable. They had a bond that was so tight most parents would be jealous of. Joshua was like that tight sweater you wanted to take off because it was so clingy but yet it felt so warm and soft you still kept it on. They were best buddies. Thomas wanted everything for his son that he didn't have or missed out on. They both were growing up together and making memories all the time. Always laughing, rough housing and hugging. They talked all the time about everything. Thomas cared about everyone. Thomas really was everybody's earth angel. We just didn't see his invisible wings and feathers! Rest in Peace Thomas!
