Kevin S. Thomas

Kevin S. Thomas, age 53, passed away suddenly in his Barefoot Bay, Florida vacation home on Tuesday, December 25, 2018.  Born in Norwood, Massachusetts on October 13, 1965, he was the son of the late Harry G. and Greta (Svenson) Thomas.  Sadly, at a young age, Kevin’s mother, Greta, passed away, after which his father married Arlene Aho, who took a motherly role in Kevin’s upbringing.  He was raised in Walpole, Massachusetts, where he graduated from Walpole High School with the Class of 1983.  Following graduation, Kevin continued his education at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

 

Kevin developed his craft in carpentry, allowing him to start his own business, Kevin Thomas Carpentry and Remodeling based in Walpole.

 

In his younger years, Kevin found his love for the outdoors, often accompanying his grandfather on hunting and fishing trips.  Kevin passed his love on to his son, Justin, keeping the family tradition going into the next generation.

 

Kevin married his long-time companion and love of his life, Debra Amos, on June 18, 2016.  They continued making their home in Walpole and purchased a vacation home in Florida, where Kevin planned on expanding his business before retiring with his wife.
