Paul E. Thomas

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Paul Ellison Thomas, a beloved son, brother, and friend, on July 8, 2024. Born on June 14, 1983, to Robert and Janice (nee Bryan) Thomas in Chattanooga, TN. Paul will be remembered for his warm smile, friendly demeanor, and his ability to brighten any room he entered.

Paul is survived by his brothers Bob Thomas and Jim (Amy) Thomas; Dear uncle of Lauren Thomas; Cherished nephew of Ellis (Theresa) Wheeler. Paul is preceded in death by his sister Sarah Thomas-James.

Throughout his life, Paul touched many lives through his work at the Arbors of Milford, where he dedicated 21 years of service. His compassion extended beyond his workplace, as he volunteered with the Master Ministries Club and was actively involved in the First Baptist Church of Milford, where he participated in children's church, led services with his songs, occasionally preached, and served as an usher.

Paul's kindness also shone through in his role as the assistant head coach for the Milford Christian Academy basketball team, where he mentored and inspired many young athletes.

In his spare time, Paul enjoyed activities such as bowling and taekwondo, where he achieved the rank of black belt. His boundless energy and enthusiasm were evident in everything he pursued, including his participation in the Special Olympics. Paul will be lovingly remembered and greatly missed.

A visitation will be held on Sunday, July 14, 2024, from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM at First Baptist Church of Milford - 1367 Woodville Pike, Milford, OH 45150. Funeral services will be held immediately after beginning at 6:00 PM. Burial will follow the next day at Graceland Memorial Gardens.
