Thomas Stephen (T.S.) Thrasher

Thrasher, Thomas Stephen, Jr. (T.S.) age 29 blessed this world on July 5, 1985 and was devastatingly taken from us on December 8, 2014 to share his bright light with his Savior Jesus Christ. T.S. was dedicated to God as an infant at Fountain City Presbyterian Church in Knoxville. T.S. spent his childhood and the majority of his adult life residing in Oak Ridge, TN. T.S. began developing a strong work ethic at the age of 12 as evidenced by his first job delivering two paper routes at The Oak Ridger. T.S. was the best brother in the whole world and was especially a champion for his sister Grace. He had a close and unique relationship with each of his brothers and sisters. T.S. attended Oak Ridge high School and earned his diploma in 2003. He had just completed his final examinations at Pellissippi State University majoring ironically in criminal justice. He had completed all scholastic requirements and was to graduate in January 2015 with honors. He respected life and valued family. His beautiful smile, infectious laugh and sense of humor were heartfelt and sincere. He was a gentleman of good character who has left a legacy of love for his daughters, family, and friends. We have been blessed to know him. He was currently employed at Advance Financial and recently received a promotion. He was totally prepared for the “Zombie Apocalypse” and was known to impersonate Michael Myers on Halloween (smile). He was preceded in death by his grandparents, W.T. Thrasher and ElFrieda Coleman, and Louis C. Wilson, Jr. and Etta Wilson Johnson.
