Mr. Dexter LeRoy Thomas

Dexter LeRoy Thomas was born February 27, 1958, the first-born child of Samuel and Gracie Thomas. A Dallas native, he was a 1976 graduate of Skyline High School. He attended the University of Texas at Arlington and received his degree in business administration. It was during his college years that he met his former wife, Debra Thomas and in 1994, their prayers were answered with the birth of their son, Brandon Chase.

Following in his father’s footsteps, Dexter pursued a career in insurance sales and very quickly advanced through the ranks toward management and full-service financial planning. Eventually, he struck out on his own as an independent broker opening Dexter Thomas Financial Services in 1995 and became very accomplished.

A committed Christian, Dexter was an active member of Carver Heights Missionary Baptist Church before joining Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in 1985. There he served as a leader in a variety of roles.

Throughout the metroplex and beyond, Dexter was well known, well respected and well loved.

Preceded in death by his grandparents, his father and brother, Dexter is survived by the pride of his life, his son, Chase; his mother, Mrs. Gracie Thomas, his sister, Debbie, his sister-in-law, Carolyn; nieces: Nicole, Sydney and Shelby, and his nephew, Drake. Other cherished survivors include Joseph Jordan (Christina), Kreston Plouche, his grandniece, Tailyn and grand nephews, Nicholas and Tahj, his aunt, Jeraldine Dennis, his uncle, Thomas Freeney and a host of other aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

Services will be held on Saturday, August 11, 2018 at 11am, Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship, 1808 W. Camp Wisdom Road, Dallas, TX.
