Chad Ray Thomas
May 7, 1960 - January 1, 2016
In the early morning on the first day of this year, we lost one of the most amazing and beautiful people this world has ever had the privilege to know. Chad was a much loved son, brother, father, grandfather, uncle and friend.
Chad was the kindest and most loving soul one could encounter. It was his firm belief that we are all connected, traveling through this life as one. His actions always exemplified his beliefs, by treating everyone he encountered with true affection, he showed us all the importance of loving deeply and without regret. His caring and willingness to give all that he could and more has always been a shining example for us all. The impact he made on our lives can never be surpassed, and the loss of his company will never be replaced.
His devotion to his family, especially his children, was absolutely limitless, and his definition of family extended far beyond its usual realm. To be part of his life was to know unconditional love, and experience the ultimate reaches of kindness and gratitude. In times of need, Chad was always there, freely giving his time, his love, his words, and anything he had to give, all without conditions or restraints. The joy he brought into our lives is eternal, the laughter he put into our souls is endless, amd the love he planted in our hearts will forever bloom in appreciation of his most amazing and beautiful presence.
There are no words that can describe the tremendous loss we now feel. Please forgive us while we cry and console us in our grief. We cannot see the world without him, we cannot imagine a single day in his absence, we cannot comprehend life without his love. He was our father, our brother, our friend, and our hero. Although we are forever with him, we must now attempt to finish our journeys without him.
Please join us to celebrate his life on Friday, January 8th 2016 from 6:00 until 8:00 PM at Starks Funeral Parlor, 3651 South 900 East, Salt Lake City. Please use the complimentary valet parking provided on the north side of the building.

Chad was an awesome friend a person that would take the shirt off his back literally if you need it. He was a friend to my family including my uncle frank and a dad to my cousin Randy. You have my thoughts and prayers with you all.

To my second family my heart aches for you all tremendously! Chad was definitely one of those unique souls that made the world a better place and I'll never forget the memories I had the privilege of creating with you guys!
