Our Precious Lucas

Donation protected
Hi my name is Kevin Krestinski and I am the brother in-law to Robert and Rosalie Thomas. 
On March 30, 2023 at 8:10 pm we got the news that there had been a terrible accident that had closed the QEW @ Beamsville/Tufford Rd.  We raced to Hamilton General and McMaster Hospitals as Rosalie (mom), Lucas and Ethan (twins) were at different hospitals. At approximately 9 pm our sweet Lucas was pronounced. The wonderful EMT’s, Police and attendants did everything they could to save our boy. Our experience at McMaster Children’s Hospital was tremendous. Truly a special place. Ethan and Rosalie were released that evening with injuries but mostly minor. It’s a miracle they survived. I am initiating this Go Fund Me as the community has asked me to initiate this for the family. Lucas was on the Autism Spectrum and such an inquisitive bright young boy. He will be deeply missed at family events, his daycare and with his classmates. Both Ethan and Lucas regularly talked about the excellent teaching and guidance they receive each and every day. We don’t know what the future holds but we have a faith that our God will carry us through. May He be glorified by this needless and senseless tragedy. 

Lucas Matthew Thomas. 10 years old. 


Please continue to support this family as they move forward without their boy. 

Thank you. 

If I had only known the last time would be the last time
I would've put off all the things I had to do
I would've stayed a little longer, held on a little tighter
Now what I'd give for one more day with you
Cause there's a wound here in my heart where something's missing
And they tell me that it's gonna heal with time But I know you're in a place where all your wounds have been erased
And knowing yours are healed is healing mine
The only scars in Heaven, they won't belong to me and you
There'll be no such thing as broken, and all the old will be made new
And the thought that makes me smile now, even as the tears fall down
Is that the only scars in Heaven are on the hands that hold you now
