It is with deepest sorrow that we announce the passing of our son, Kierian Vincent Thomas, born April 17, 1996. Kierian passed away peacefully at UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital on Sunday morning, January 26, 2025.
As a young boy Kierian was very kind and loving, and excelled in sports. Throughout school he was quite popular and a natural born leader. His humorous personality often earned him the title of class clown by his teachers, although many enjoyed having him in their class. I admired the fact that he would stand up for the little guy, if you were his friend he wouldn't let anyone push you around. A counselor once told me that he was a very deep thinker and asked questions that he didn't have answers for. He pictured Kierian to be a strong leader, although he hated that title as it was too much pressure.
Kierian worked for several years as a steel worker for DenCol Steel. He took a lot of pride in the skills he learned there and was often praised for his work by management, and customers were amazed that for being so young he was knowledgeable and knew what they needed.
An accident in early 2020 was the start to serious health complications that lead to him making the decision that this was a fight he was not going to win. Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
Kierian is survived by his three children, Ryleigh Breanne, 10, Kylo Karter, 7, and A'laya Rose, 3. He is also survived by his parents, Steven and Christine Thomas, grandparents, Vincent Helfrich of Dickinson, ND, Julie Olson of Lochbuie, CO, and siblings, Alonzo Grant of Billings, MT, Destiny Thomas of Loveland, CO and Michael, Myesha, Amia and Avery who still reside at home.
