He graduated from the University of Phoenix with a Masters degree in Psychology. He had begun advanced studies at SIT Graduate Institute in pursuit of his doctorate degree in psychology. He was a member of the Open Door Unitarian Universalist Fellowship.
Thomas worked as an Executive Director of Vermont Psychiatrics Survivors in their state government. Prior, he had served as Executive Director of Owensboro Aids Task Force, now Matthew 25.
A very adventurous character, he thoroughly enjoyed travel and spending time with friends. Thomas traveled to France where he exercised and honed the French linguistics that he learned in high school. Yes, he was bilingual English/French.
Thomas was outgoing, friendly, loveable, and exuded a kindred spirit. He touched many lives in the community in a positive manner and will be sorely missed by all.
He is survived by two brothers, Michael Woods and Kenny Riley; a sister, Rachael Riley; five nieces, Justice Woods, Nautica Robinson, Shyaira Woods, Samara Johnson, and Ma’keiyla Woods; a nephew, Shaheem Woods; and a host of other relatives and friends.
A special thanks goes out to Richard Christopher Clark who stood by his side until God took him home. Thank you, Chris!
