Pleasant, Tennessee. He spent most of his adult life working at the Sawmill and he was a member of the First United Pentecostal Church in Columbia. After meeting Sheila, the love of his life, they were married on October 29, 1988 and they soon gave birth to the joy of their life, their daughter Brittany. Thomas family recalls his consistent love for football which began when he was a small boy. He would go outside and play his own football game and then he would also be the commentator to report on his own game. As he matured, his love for football continued to grow and the Dallas Cowboys found a special place in his heart. In addition to football, Thomas had a true love for reading to which his huge in-home library can attest to. Louis LAmour was among his favorite authors, but the Bible was his all time favorite. He loved to read and study Gods Word. And, of course, we cannot fail to mention that Thomas was a true Elvis Presley fan. In addition to his wife and parents, Thomas left to cherish his memory one daughter, Brittany Holt of Culleoka, TN; one brother Todd (Gina) Holt, Jr. of Columbia, TN, his paternal grandmother, Naomi L.
