Michael Charles Thomas

August 12, 1973 - February 20, 2018

Early Tuesday morning, February 20, 2018, God walked through His Heavenly Garden looking for another perfect soul to serve in His Heavenly Home. God observed that Michael ‘s childhood asthma illness was giving him difficulty again and decided He would not suffer that any longer. Therefore, God chose our precious son, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, to join Him in His golden, precious, heavenly Home in Glory. Mr. Michael Charles Thomas was born in Detroit, Michigan on August, 12, 1973. he was the son of John Charles Thomas and Judy Moore Thomas Myers. He relocated to Columbia, SC with his grandmother, Alice Moore (who was integral in rearing him and his sister, Michelle) shortly after his mother relocated there with the Army National Guard. “Mike”, as he was affectionately known, was a 1991 graduate of Richland Northeast High School where he was an avid athlete. He played football, basketball, baseball and ran track and field. He desired to further his education and attended North Greenville University. Mike was popular, quiet and a smooth loving young man who loved his son, grandchildren and niece. He knew God and his favorite quote was “I love God first...everything else explains itself...holla”. Mike was employed with Red Robin in the Village at Sandhills and had many friends who loved him dearly. His main brothers-in-love were: Kiba Anderson, Quincy Jones, Samuel Gilbert, Dante Sanders, Lamont Hill, Johnny Shields, Craig Tyson, Chris “Sunshine” Lambert and Damon Young. They were all over protective of his younger sister, Michelle. Mr. Thomas was preceded in death by his maternal parents, David and Alice Moore and a nephew, Alexander Thomas. Michael’s transition to his Heavenly Home will never be forgotten by those who knew and loved him. Left to cherish precious memories are: his mother, Judy M. Thomas Myers; a sister, Michelle Thomas; the niece he loved, Chelsea Thomas; his son, Khorrey Michael Jones; two grandchildren, Karli and Kaylin Jones; a mother-in-love, Melinda Anderson and a host of other loving relatives and friends.
