Thomas was born on July 23, 1986 in Rock Springs, Wyoming to Khristine Elaine Gallagher. Thomas grew up in Houston Minnesota and later moved to a farm in Protivin, Iowa, where he was employed at AMKK Farms. Thomas loved Farming, riding his side-by-side with friends, fishing, hunting, playing pool and hanging out with his friends, nieces and nephews as well as animals. Thomas was a quiet person but had friends everywhere he went. He loved making people laugh and helping anybody he could. Many people saw Thomas as a son, brother, a leaning post, a friend, and a father. Thomas endured a lot of tough times after he broke his neck in high school and was paralyzed. He never gave up, he never complained and he was always there for others. Thomas loved life. Many people have said Thomas was the strongest most selfless man they ever knew. The saying the brightest candle always burns out first holds true with Thomas for he was the brightest candle burning for others not himself. Thomas will definitely be missed by many people.
