Slade fought extremely hard from the time he was conceived. He was the strongest little boy and was happy throughout his journey. Slade loved to be outside in the sunshine and playing with his big sister. He was a dare devil and loved being tossed in the air. He had the sweetest little grin, he lit up any room he was in.
He is survived by his mommy, Mariah Ray; his daddy, Justin Billups; his big sister, Vada Ann Solano; his YaYa, April Nixon; his PopPop, David Nixon; his Noni, Kristal Bolyer; his Pappaw, Dennis Billups; his Pappaw, Todd Butler; several sets of great-grandparents; and many, many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Visitation will be held at Haughton First Baptist on Thursday May 7, 2020 from 11am to 2pm and the graveside service will be held at Haughton Cemetery at 3pm.
The family asks for donations to be made in Slade’s memory at https://giving.ochsner.org/Views/dp/donate/controller.cfm?CAMPAIGN=Slade_Billups for Ochsner PICU who took such amazing care of their sweet baby. Flowers are also welcome in memory of Slade Thomas.
