He would greet his fellow employees with a “hey boy” every day. He regularly checked on his family and co-workers to make sure they were ok. Thomas loved spending time with his family. He was a faithful member of Auburn Baptist Church where he enjoyed the men’s ministries.

Thomas is survived by his wife of 25 years, Candace Pittman Reeves, who he called “fancy face”; his son, Jax; his dad, James Reeves; a sister, Susan Rene Reeves Caygle and a brother, Glen Reeves; a host of nieces, nephews and their families.
