Thomas along with being a dedicated grandfather, always giving into what she wanted, Michelle Milligan, the best great grandfather to Deshon T. Thomas, whom he spoiled being the first born boy, Caimere T. Thomas whom he would have to say "come here" to remember how to say his name and watched his first steps in his home, a great grandson whom he did not get the pleasure of meeting Trayvon Milligan but would have had a ball with as well as many sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces and so many loving family.
