the boy behind it all

Thomas

Thomas was born March 28th, 1990 he was 9lbs 2oz and 23 & 1/2in long. he was a chubby, happy, beautiful bundle of joy!   
Thomas was very athletic, loved lacrosse and wrestling. he loved his family and friends. anyone who had the honor of being in Thomas's presence whether it was for a moment or a lifetime know that he had the ability to make the sad - smile, the angry - laugh and turn a negative into a positive.

Thomas will continue to be with us and be the driving force behind the foundation.

Through our programs and services, we honor his memory by providing support, guidance, and resources to those struggling with substance use disorder and their families. Together, we can make a difference.

We are not going to talk about Thomas' substance use disorder. His story was not special, it is not unique and it does not deserve more attention than anyone else's.
Thomas was special and unique outside of his substance use disorder. Even in death, Thomas has touched so many lives, his spirit has stayed with us to change minds, soften hearts, sit with the lonely, and comfort the broken.
