Richard "Ricky" Lynn Thomas

Richard Lynn Thomas, 59, of Frost, TX was born November 27, 1959 in Dallas, TX.  He suffered a debilitating stroke April 15, 2019 and passed away peacefully April 20, 2019 at home surrounded by his loving family. Ricky had vast experience in mechanic and construction work.  He traveled parts of the country doing construction work on schools, churches and hospitals.  Ricky was always there to help anyone that needed it and was a "jack of all trades" kind of guy that just seemed to know how to do anything with his hands.  Being an avid Dallas Cowboys fan, he would root for them every time they played.  He enjoyed listening to rock-n-roll and country music.  Ricky had an infectious laugh and was quite comical.  Ricky lived life the way he wanted, had such a huge heart and will be loved and missed by many. He was preceded in death by his parents:  Jack & Marge Thomas; brothers:  Jack, Jr., Fred & Tommy. Survived by aunt:  Nancy Thomas; twin sister: Susie Thomas; nephews:  Kevin Scott & wife Hollie and Michael Thomas; great nieces:  Karlie & Keri; great nephews:  Jack & Braden and special dear friend:  Debra Hahn.
