Ralph J Thomas III

October 3, 1962 - May 5, 2012

Ralph went to be with Jesus May 5, 2012. He had fought lymphoma for the last 3 years. He was born in Sacramento, California October of 1962 to Ralph Jr. and Shirley Thomas. Ralph moved to Carson City 13 years ago. This was his home. He loved to go off road and see the beautiful country side. His hobby was RC cars. He loved serving and being part of his church. He was a warm and caring man always going out of his way to see to the needs of others. He was a devoted father and husband. Even through his battle with cancer his family knew that that they came before all, second only to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. His involvement at church was a must. He was always surrounded by those he was sharing a story with or someone he was sharing faith with. Ralph loved to sing and praise the Lord. He would be at every activity if at all possible, whether it be picnics, choir, plays, or the teaching Service. Ralph had a heart to help others and wanted to do so much more especially in regards those battling with any and all kinds of illnesses. Last year when his health was better he approached our pastor to begin a group to support and assist those dealing with cancer or those helping in that care. The group has been on break since Ralph became too weak to continue. His heart was more willing than his body would allow. It is our prayer that we will continue this after we grow though these times for a season. “Our Shepherd's Care an encouraging walk through Psalm 23" was very important to him and our entire church family He was preceded in death by his father, and half-brother James. Ralph leaves behind a beautiful legacy. His children are: Cassie Thomas of Reading, PA, Jenny, Ralphie IV, and Josiah Thomas of Carson City, NV. He is also survived by his wife Angie, mother Shirley, Sister Diana, brothers Gary and Dale, his nieces Tanya and Michelle, and nephew Travis.
