Calvin Ray Thomas Jr., born March 11, 1986, was a beloved son, father, brother, uncle, and friend who touched many lives with his kind heart and generous spirit.
Calvin had a heart of gold and would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. He loved the beach, riding his motorcycle, watching Tar Heel basketball, golfing, hunting with his dad, singing country songs at karaoke, and spending time with his beloved dog, Ammo. He was known for his laughter, his adventurous spirit, and the genuine kindness he showed to those around him.
Calvin is survived by his son, Calvin Ray Thomas III; his father, Calvin Ray Thomas Sr.; his mother, Cynthia Blackwell Thomas; his sister, Jennifer Thomas Smith; his niece, Autumn Jade Smith, and his aunt, Brenda Williams. He was also deeply loved by his girlfriend, Stephanie, and her sons, Julian and Henry.
Calvin was loved by many and will be deeply missed. His laughter, kindness, and the memories he created will remain in the hearts of all who knew him. Rest peacefully, Calvin. You will be loved and missed always.

Losing a child is so impossibly painful…so out of sync… out of order… but our Lord called him home. My heart is broken for you all. Prayers for peace and healing as you all walk this road.
