“The just man, though he die early, shall be at rest…Having become perfect in a short while, he reached the fullness of a long career; for his soul was pleasing to the Lord. (Wisdom 4:7, 13-14) Sean Quintin Thomas, age 26, entered into eternal life on July 17, 2019.
A native of Vacherie, he was a resident of Lafayette, LA. A 2011 graduate of St. Augustine High School in New Orleans, he excelled in sports. His exceptional ability as a defensive back on the Purple Knights football team helped him to garner a full athletic football scholarship to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, where his Ragin’ Cajuns were four-time R & L Carrier New Orleans Bowl Champions. He graduated in 2015 with a Bachelor of General Studies.
While in Lafayette he worked with youth in various summer camps. As a young entrepreneur, he was a barber, fashion designer, and model. He was employed by Envoy Air-American Airlines in Dallas, TX.
