Tomas was born on April 9, 1938 in Mexico to Thomas Solis Sr. and Margarita Garcia. He spent his childhood in Texas until 1954 when he moved to Colorado. Tomas farmed all his life. He was married to the mother of his children, Maria Robles, for 25 years. He later found the love of his life, Linda Johnson, and they spent the last 39 years together.
Tomas enjoyed hunting, fishing, and camping throughout his life. He could often be found "people-watching" at WalMart. However, his greatest joy was his family. He loved family gatherings and spending time with his grandkids, who absolutely adored him. Tomas nurtured his kids to be the best they could be, and was very proud of the people they became as adults.
Tomas will be dearly missed by his loved ones left behind, including his wife, Linda Johnson; his children, Tomas Solis III (Michelle), Margarita Solis, Albert Solis (Alex), Mary Larson (Leonard), Lori Cruz (John), and Raymond Solis (Michelle); Daughter-in-law, Donna Solis; Brother, Rudy Solis; and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Tomas was preceded in death by his daughter, Josie Huber; sons, Joe Solis and Danny Solis; his parents; one sister; and three brothers.
