In Loving Memory of Stephen Thomas

Stephen grew up with a love for sports. As a child, he played football for Patterson and later attended North High School, where he proudly played basketball. His passion for sports remained with him throughout his life as he faithfully cheered on the Detroit Lions and Michigan Wolverines, while living next door to Ohio State fans.

Stephen was a devoted father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend. He had a generous heart and was always willing to help anyone in need, whenever he could. He will be remembered for his kindness, his sense of humor, and the love he had for his family and friends. He enjoyed spending time with those he loved, laughing, celebrating life, and making the most of every moment. Known for playing the dozens, he had a comeback and joke for everyone.

He was preceded in death by his father, Larry Culver Sr.; brother, Deshawn Brown Sr.; beloved grandparents, Earl Thomas and Rosie Thomas; cousin, Demond Wilson Jr., and granddaughter, Wynter Parker.

Stephen's legacy is one of love, generosity, laughter, and unwavering devotion to his family. Though he is no longer with us in body, the memories he created and the love he shared will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

"Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure.

You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.

Forever in our hearts."
