John Allan Thomas passed away on 08/24/2024 at the age of 59, with his sister by his
side, after a very short battle with cancer. John was born on 09/19/1964 in Ashland, WI
to Robert and Marjorie (Miller) Thomas. John graduated in 1983 from Waukesha South
High School.

John was always musically inclined. He sang in school and played viola. He also played
piano and dabbled with the accordion. His all-time favorites were playing guitar and singing. He would play at school, he would sing karaoke, and sing/play for family/friends whenever he could. He was a big Elvis fan, along with many other country singers.

John spent most of his adult life cooking at various restaurants in WI, IN, CO, and FL.
He started his career at Paul’s Restaurant in Waukesha, WI and worked almost right to
the end at both Highland Street Café and Dora Café in Mount Dora, Florida.

John was also attending school for Medical Coding and Billing. In April 2024, he received his Associate of Applied Science in Health Information Technology with Honors and had also finished one semester toward his Bachelor of Science in Technical Management. We are very proud of him and his accomplishments!
