Christopher Kelly Thomas was on born March 24, 1988 in Memphis, Tennessee. On August 5, 2023 he was chosen to be in God’s angel band while surrounded by all of his closest friends and family. He was so easy to talk to that everyone he met would have an instant connection with him. He never met a stranger and did everything he could to lift people up regardless of his personal feelings. His boisterous laugh would bring joy to anyone that heard it. Christopher had three great loves in his life; his beautiful wife/best friend, music, and his Tennessee Volunteers. Leisha and Christopher had almost 18 amazing years together. He always said they had that “classic kind of love”. He was a passionate musician, having a great connection with music through his family. He was a lifelong Tennessee Volunteers fan even when it hurt to be one. He was so excited to see the Vols have a 11-2 season. It really felt like ’98 but next year is our year. His last seven and half years were spent in the Great Smoky Mountains where he found beauty and peace everywhere he looked. He WON 20 extra months in his fight and he made the most out of each and every one of them.
Christopher was survived by his wife, Leisha Kate Thomas, fur babies, Champ and Smoky, parents, Charles Thomas (Deborah), Star Kell (Jonathan), brothers, Heath Stang, Jordan Thomas (Jayde), sisters, Autumn Potter (Shannon), Ginger White Frezza (Leo), Brother-in-law David “Whit” Thomas (Jessica), nephews; Adler, Leiland and Scout Potter, nieces; Sadie June Frezza and Amelia “Millie” Faye Thomas, and godson Aiden Kade Davis.
