One cannot properly discuss the church of Christ in St. Vincent and the Grenadines (and for that matter the rest of the Caribbean), and not come across the name Terry Thomas. Here is a man who dedicated his life to the propagation of the gospel from a very young age until he could no longer do so. His legacy will live on, not only through the continued work of his wife and daughters, but through the many lives, past, present, and future, who have benefited from a life well lived. As I celebrate the humble yet tremendous achievements of a life lived, I also share in the deep sadness of his momentary departure best experienced by sis. Thomas, Carla, and Cassandra. Godspeed, bro. Terry!

Condolences to Sis Vanda Thomas and family of the late Bro Terry Thomas. We in Grenada were saddened to hear of the passing of our dear friend and Minister of the gospel, who once worked with the Grenville COC of which we are still faithful members. We remember you for your love of God, passionate singing and preaching of such wonderful messages. Sail away and may your soul RIP

Condolences to Brother Terry Thomas' family. He was one who encouraged me in the early years when I became a Christian in St. Vincent in the late 1960's. Francis Yorke

Brother Terry Thomas was one of a kind. He was a faithful Christian, and a loyal friend. He was very serious about the Gospel, but on the flip side he was as jovial as they come. I loved Terry as a brother and will miss him dearly. You have earned your mansion in heaven, my brother. Sleep well until we meet again. My deepest condolences to Vanda, their children and his sister Cynthia.

A stalwart of the faith has fallen but we must keep his legacy alive. He loved Christ and His church. He loved preaching the gospel, and apart from his secular work from one time or another, his whole life was wrapped up in ministry. A hard worker, never late for anything, and very straightforward. You always knew where you stood with him. He will always be remembered. My family and I, as well as his Church family at Biabou, offer our deepest condolences to his wife, Vanda, his children and grand children, nieces and nephews, and other relatives and friends. Until we meet again.

I remember the name Terry Thomas very well. We were all taught by Brother Ralph Wharton. I just cannot remember what he looked like after 52 years but we were all together in those early days. I just want to thank God for a life well spent and the dedication to the Lord's work. Such beautiful and encouraging tributes by many who knew him. He is at home with the Lord.Rest in peace bro. Terry.
