Joe was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. His love for family was evident in every moment spent with them. He took pride in watching his family grow and thrive, providing wisdom, comfort, and encouragement throughout their lives.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Dan and Millie Thomas, his first wife Willie Mae Thomas, sons Fredrick J. Thomas and David E. Landrum, stepson Steve Bonner, and several siblings. His memory is cherished by his wife, Isabell Thomas; daughters Rhonda Landrum and Nancy (Charles) Richardson; stepchildren Eddie (Sherdina) Bonner, Michael Bonner, Greg Bonner, Margaret Renee Carter, and Carol Bonner; and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren who brought him immense joy.
