Obituary: JT Thomas

This morning we got the unfortunate news that JT Thomas passed on Friday.

For 26 years, JT was part of the Rio Linda High School Football staff, and for 26 years, he made sure that the football team only drank Rio Linda Water. When the team played an away game, JT always brought the team’s water with him.

In 2018, JT got a ring as part of the State Championship team.

His celebration of life will take place next Sunday, October 22nd, 2023 from 2:30pm to 5pm. It will take place, appropriately, at the Rio Linda High School Football Stadium.

All are welcome.
