Death date: May 28, 2023
We are sad to announce the passing of my brother and our friend Scrappy (William Franklin Thomas Jr.). Scrappy was born on September 7, 1961, in Austell Georgia. He passed away peacefully in his sleep early Sunday morning, on May Read Obituary
Scrappy was a part of the neighborhood “gang” I grew up with. We were always together and doing something fun. After high school we all went our separate ways but would talk from time to time. Scrappy found out that I lost my parents within a month of each other in 2020. A couple of months after that my phone rang and it was Scrappy. He wanted to pass on his condolences and we talked for over an hour. Scrappy was a great guy and my condolences and prayers are with Anna and the family. Godspeed Scrappy and I hope you are enjoying your Harley in Heaven.
Scrappy and I have been friends for years and even though we didn't talk often, when we did we picked right up where we left off without missing a beat...Scrappy was a true friend and he will be missed...Ride on, my precious friend.
Scrappy and I were great friends through High school and for years after. We spend many hours together fishing, hunting, working on cars and usually getting into something we weren't supposed to be doing. He would come down and hang out at the scale house at the box board an we would watch the dukes of hazard every Friday night before i got off work and we were out to get in some trouble somewhere. When I got my 68 camaro finished a few years ago one of the first places I took it was to Scrappy's house even though I hadn't seen him in years. it was great to get caught up and I am sad to say that was the last time I spoke with him. He had an unmatched sense of humor and his perspective on things always made me laugh. Even though we didn't talk much over the past years i will miss him. Goodbye good friend.
Anna and family, I'm sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and the family.
I’m so so sorry for your loss Anna! This news makes me really sad. Prayers for you and your family.
I have known him since the year after he graduated from South Cobb. He came to the muffler shop (as we called it) with his black ‘69 Camaro and bless his heart it was on. We all gave him a wrath of crap but for some reason he came back for more. He wasn’t sure what he wanted to do so I got him a job with me doing heating and air. He hung with me a couple of years and we went into business he was our first employee, bless his heart, he knew I loved him and I knew he put up with me. Oh my friend I wish I could tell you how much you meant to me, you were in my wedding and and so many others special times. Godspeed my friend, Godspeed.
