Honoring the Legacy of Rackwell Thomas

Donation protected
Dear Friends, Family, and Community,

With heavy hearts we are devastated to announce the sudden loss of our beloved friend, Rackwell “Wapo” Thomas, who tragically passed away unexpectedly on Thursday morning, May 9th, leaving behind his loving wife, Jenise and four precious children, Janae-13, Janella-10, Jolene-8 and JaKing-4. He was more than just a husband and father; he was the heart and soul of his family and a devoted friend.

Wapo lived and breathed for his family. He worked tirelessly, hustling day in and day out, to provide his children with the best life possible. His commitment to his family was unwavering, and his children were his world. His wife was not just his partner, but his best friend, and together they built a life filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories.

His son will celebrate his 5th birthday, Wednesday, 5/15 and his daughters next month without their father. His eldest daughter will celebrate prom and graduation without her dad.



As a big brother, Wapo took his role seriously. He was a source of guidance, support, and endless love for his siblings. His presence brought light and warmth into the lives of all who knew him, and his loss leaves an irreplaceable void in our hearts.

As we mourn the loss of our dear friend, it is our turn to rally around them and provide the support they need during this unimaginably difficult time. This fundraiser is dedicated to honoring Wapo's memory and ensuring that his wife and children have the resources they need to navigate the days ahead during this heartbreaking loss and adjust to life without their beloved husband and father.



Every donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in helping the Thomas family cope with the financial burdens they now face. Your generosity will provide support for funeral expenses, ongoing living expenses, and ensuring that Wapo's children continue to receive the love and care they deserve.

Let's come together as a community to honor Rackwell's memory and ensure that his legacy of love, sacrifice, and resilience lives on through his family. Your kindness, compassion, and support are deeply appreciated.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Vanessa
