It is with a broken heart that Tashia shares the heartbreaking loss of Thomas Butler Jr., Tashia’s beloved son, at just 16 years old. Thomas was Tashia’s son, Tashia’s heart, and a part of life that can never be replaced. No parent should ever have to face the pain of saying goodbye to a child, especially a child with so much life still ahead of him. Right now, the family is trying to navigate the unimaginable, grieving Thomas while also making arrangements to honor his life and lay him to rest with the love and dignity he deserves.

This fundraiser will help ease the financial burden surrounding Thomas’s passing, including funeral and burial expenses, memorial services, travel expenses, and necessary bills that have come during this devastating time. Every donation, no matter the amount, will mean more to Tashia and the family than words can express. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser, offering a prayer, or sending a kind message. Thomas may no longer be here physically, but he will forever live in Tashia’s heart and in the hearts of everyone who loved him. Gone from Tashia’s arms, never from Tashia’s heart. Thank you for loving Thomas, remembering Thomas, praying for the family, and helping them through one of the most painful moments of their lives.
