He is preceded in death by his parents, his brother Telesmar Moran Jr., brother-in-law Jimmy Berthelot, Godchild Troy Berthelot, niece Rhonda Murphy and great-nephew Mason Peabody.

Thomas was a loving husband, devoted father and proud grandfather. His family and his faith were very important to him. Thomas retired after 30 years as a Union pipefitter; he was a member of the U.A. Local #198. In his spare time, he enjoyed watching LSU football & baseball and the PBR rodeo. He had a love for the outdoors, especially while hunting and fishing. Above all else he loved spending time with his family and friends. He will be greatly missed by all of those who knew and loved him.

The family would like to thank Pinnacle Hospice, especially his nurse Anna, his caregivers Joan and Susan and the staff at The Crossing for their compassion and support during the most difficult times.
