Kenneth was a man whose presence made others feel welcome. He had a natural gift for friendship and a heart always open to helping those around him. Young or old, anyone who crossed his path felt his kindness and was touched by his gentle influence. His life was guided by a deep and unwavering faith, and he was a devoted Catholic who trusted fully in God.
Kenneth found joy in simple blessings, especially good food and he was well known for never leaving a plate unfinished. More than anything, he cherished his family and the time spent together.
He is lovingly survived by his spouse, Carmen Pablo; his children, Cletus Thomas, Darin Thomas, Melanie Allison, Laura Thomas, and Jessica Thomas; 27 grandchildren; and 12 great-grandchildren, all of whom were a great source of pride and joy.
He was preceded in death by his children, Stafford Thomas, Kenneth Thomas, and Edwardine Thomas; his parents; and his sisters, Teresa Peters and Geraldine Terry, who welcomed him home.
