Mark "Animal" Thomas Funeral Funds & Shannon Thomas Support

Hi, my name is Kylie Thomas, the daughter of the amazing man that was Mark "Animal" Thomas. My father, Mark, passed away on October 2 after fighting a battle with infection for over 6 years. After a trip to the hospital on September 23, his body could just not take the toll anymore, and he passed in his home unexpectedly due to cardiac arrest.

I am making this GoFundMe for his wife and my mother, Shannon (Stahara) Thomas, who is in dire need of funds for his funeral, medical bills, and to help her continue to pay bills and afford groceries.

Mark leaves behind me, his daughter, as well as my mother and his wife whom he loved dearly and who took care of him through the end, Shannon. Mark and Shannon had been living off only his small disability income. Due to health complications with Shannon last year and her 2-month-long coma, she has not had an income. With his sudden passing, she will not have any income to live off of, and Mark did not have any life insurance or savings to help her with these funeral costs, nor the costs of his remaining medical bills from being in and out of the hospital for the past 6 years, nor just regular life expenses.

I am asking please, please for anyone to spare even a dollar towards helping my mother during this very, very difficult time. As it stands, we have no way to pay for his cremation, funeral, medical bills, or for my mother, Shannon, to keep living and surviving. We both appreciate any thoughts or prayers, and we want you all to know how much Mark "Animal" loved you all. You all made his life one crazy ride and wild adventure that brought him the best memories he would never stop smiling about. From his childhood to New Music Station to being a dad, he loved every minute of it.

Thank you all so, so, so much.
