Those closest to Thomas knew a man whose loyalty ran deep and whose presence was felt in the steady ways he showed up for the people he loved. He held his family close in heart and in life, and his memory will remain a meaningful part of their days moving forward.
Thomas is survived by his parents, Stephen Bailey and Tammy Hammock; his brother, Stephen Bailey; his significant other, Eleisha Gregg; and his son, Thomas Bailey Jr. He is also lovingly remembered by his nieces and nephews, Jayden, Abigail, and Alexis.
He was preceded in death by his siblings, Matthew Hammock, and Shawna Hammock.
In the rhythms of everyday life, Thomas found genuine joy in the things he cared about most. He was a die-hard Cleveland sports fan who proudly followed the Browns, Cavs, Guardians, and Ohio State. He also took pride in being a shoe collector, and he found comfort and energy in music, especially rap and R&B. Through these passions, he expressed a spirit that was both devoted and distinctly his own.
A funeral service will take place at Craciun Berry Funeral Home on Wednesday November 4, at 11 AM. Burial at West Park Cemetery to follow directly after.
