Thomas graduated from DeVilbiss High School in Toledo, Ohio, and was a dedicated employee of the Pilliod Cabinet Company. He valued hard work and the relationships he formed throughout his life.

Thomas found joy in life’s simple pleasures. He loved watching movies, listening to music, traveling, and spending time with his family. An avid Ohio State fan, he enjoyed cheering on his beloved Buckeyes. Family outings brought him special happiness, as did the companionship of his cherished four-legged friend, “DJango.” The moments he shared with those he loved will remain treasured memories.

Thomas was preceded in death by his grandmother Katie Levirta Isaac; his mother, Rosie M. Isaac; his father, Pat Isaac Jr; his sister, Estell Lee; his brother, Reverend Robert Isaac; his brother-in-law, George Lee, Jr.; and his niece, Taylor Isaac.

He leaves to cherish his memory his loving daughter, Tonya Isaac-Hopings, and her husband, Orlando Hopings; grandsons, AmarJay Isaac (Ny’draia), and Cordae Hopings; granddaughter, Alaylah Hopings; and great-grandsons, Ayvion and Amir Isaac. He is also lovingly remembered by his sister, Rose (Lue) Hobbs; sister-in-law, Sherri Isaac; Special nephew, Dr. George P. Lee III and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives, and dear friends.

Thomas’s life leaves a lasting imprint on the hearts of those who knew and loved him. His presence will be deeply missed, his memory lovingly honored, and his place within his family forever cherished.

His journey here has ended, but the love he shared lives on.
