Wall of Remembrance: in loving memory of entertaining Kenneth

Kenneth Thomas died from Covid-19 in July at the age of 83.

Covid-19 deaths are not just daily statistics, they are our loved ones who part of our families and community.
Kenneth Thomas lost the battle to Covid-19 in July at the age of 83.

According to Crystal Thomas, his daughter, he was an extraordinary man, the type of man you could look up to and admire for his ethics.

“My father was an entertainer from a young age. He loved singing at various events over the years.”
Later in his life, Kenneth would dress up as Elvis and perform at old age homes without charging anything.

“His payment was seeing the happy faces of all the old people. This was when he was at his happiest,” said Crystal.
His daughter added his death was bittersweet.

“It was bitter because he left us behind but sweet that he is now in the arms of his true love again, our mom. He refused to leave my mom when she got polio and could no longer walk.”

This happened not even a year after they had gotten married. “He bathed her, dressed her and loved her till the day she died. He took care of her and his four children, which was not easy,” said Crystal.

“He was one in a million.” He is survived by his children: Dean, Crystal, Shane and Capucine.
