I remember how this rocked our class! He is missed! I recall after school in the parking lot the afternoon before his death him asking if I was going to join him & others for the Friday night festivities and telling him no because I had to work. I still regret that.
Thadd is/was my cousin, born just one month and two days after I was. We grew up together and spent a lot of time together as kids. He was tender-hearted and kind. I miss him and wonder what could have been for him.
Ernie is right. Thadd's death definitely rocked the school. It's tough wondering what, if anything, could have been done to prevent this tragedy. I can only hope that his passing served to somehow deter others from the same path.
i remember the night before we were all together...all of us..and no one had a clue...and i think until this day i will never forget that and i'm sure those who were there feel the same. this was the first time in my life that i had lost anyone close and dear to me. we all took it very very hard and things were never the same. he was a beautiful young man with a heart of gold...and man was he funny as hell....i will always miss you..
This cat was one of a kind, He made cool what it is today. Just his the way he looked at life in general. He was fun to be around. Just hard to describe. The people he touched will never forget him.. I remember sitting on top of Central Middle school with Skid, Alan and Thad talking about life and throwing back a few cold ones the week before. Just never seen it coming.. I have a lot of good memories with all these who have left us to soon.
Thad was one of the coolest of the coolest! For all those times i should have said how much his friendship meant, I will forever regret. We had lots of laughs, good times and he will forever be etched in my memory with a smile.
Thadd is a dear friend that will never be forgotten. I have known Thadd since we were 4 and thinking back to all the memories I have, makes me smile and laugh. No matter how long anyone knew him, he was everyones friend and he always had that great smile!!! We all wish we knew why this had to happen and it sucks because we will never really know. I just remember him telling me the week before that he was moving to Atlanta, he just needed a change.....As much as I didnt want him to leave I knew he would come back to visit because he loved his friends. DAMN IT sometimes I just wish he would come for a visit, but dont we all! We All Love & Miss Ya Thadd
