Thomas Gerard DeFranco, Jr.

Thomas was born June 26, 1998 in Pensacola, FL, kicking his way into this world giving his twin sister Jordan a huge black-eye making sure he came first! From that day forward if you saw one, you saw the other. They were truly the best of friends. Thomas completed his schooling in Pensacola, graduating from Pine Forest High School and continued his education at Faulkner State Community College.

Thomas was dedicated to his family, friends and God. He lived his life to the fullest. He had a wonderful knack of fixing anything he could get his hands on. He was a simple man who indulged in the simple pleasures of life, and maybe a few mischievous acts with his partner in crime, Jordan. There was nothing he loved more than a good hamburger, calm day at sea or early morning hunting. He had an uncanny ability to touch every soul that he came in contact with. He was a lifelong FSU fan, avid hunter and fisherman.

Thomas is survived by his twin sister Jordan (Pensacola), His dad Thomas DeFranco Sr. (Pensacola), His girlfriend Sara Mason (Pensacola) and many aunts and uncles.

Loved ones gone before Thomas Jr. include his loving mother Sandra DeFranco, paternal grandparents Anne and Fred DeFranco, maternal grandmother Brynda Janashak, maternal great-grandmother Mary Mitchell, Aunt Maria DeFranco Best, Cousins Mallory Hall and Vincent Tyler
