Rudy Thomas

I believe the hardest thing a parent could ever experience is to lose their child. On December 23rd, our son Rudy lost his battle with drug addiction at the age of 25. We are numb - totally overwhelmed with grief and loss. Loss unlike anything we have ever experienced. We ask for your thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.

Addiction is a disease with unimaginable consequences. I will always struggle to understand how quickly this disease took over his life, consumed his existence, and why he was taken from us at such a young age.

Rudy, you are now one with Heaven. You blessed our lives in so many countless ways. I’ll always cherish each and every memory we shared together. There will never be a day that I won’t think about you. You are in my heart forever. I miss you terribly.
