00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:47.600
Hey everyone. My name is Sheldon Thomas. For those that
2
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:52.280
may not know, I am Brient Thomas's son. The reason
3
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:56.560
you're hearing my voice instead of Dad's voice today is
4
00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:00.880
on the morning of June fourteenth, Dad passed away suddenly
5
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:05.159
from a heart attack. This has spent a very hard
6
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:08.200
time from me and the family, and for some of
7
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:12.200
you this will be quite a shock. The last few
8
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:14.719
weeks have been the hardest weeks of my life, and
9
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:18.040
I apologize for taking so long to put a statement out.
10
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:24.000
Admittedly this has been hard for me to put together.
11
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:29.079
Dad and I were very close and talked every day.
12
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:33.239
Last I spoke to him was a few hours before
13
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:37.680
he passed. I also was often as co host for
14
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.959
the YouTube live show on Fridays, where you can still
15
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:44.079
watch those live sessions on the Paranormal Portal YouTube channel.
16
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:49.840
Dad was such a hard working person, not just for
17
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:54.920
the Paranormal Portal, but for even the little things for friends, family,
18
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:59.640
and even strangers that he would meet. If someone needed help,
19
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:02.840
he was the type of person to go and make
20
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:06.760
time to help them. That's something I loved about him
21
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:11.080
dearly and applied into my own life to help those
22
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:16.120
in need. Whether we knew them or not, he believed
23
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:19.479
in the words he spoke and put out there into
24
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:23.159
the podcast and into the world. That's why at the
25
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:26.800
end of every show he would end the show with
26
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:30.879
the statement of remember, we love you all. Be good,
27
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:33.560
be kind, be nice, take care of each other, help
28
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:36.599
each other out, find the magic in every day, and
29
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:40.400
remember to laugh as much as you can. He believed
30
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:44.639
in those words and lived them. I am thankful for
31
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:47.360
the dead I had and grew up with, and have
32
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:52.120
many fond memories as well, even spiritual values he taught me,
33
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:56.360
whether he went into the woods or hiked on the
34
00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:58.599
bluff in the town I grew up, and he always
35
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:02.879
taught me to respect nature, respect the trees, and even
36
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:07.400
the bugs and insects. Well, there was one insect we
37
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:12.759
mutually never respected. That of course, was mosquitoes. Oh lord,
38
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:17.520
we hated mosquitoes. There was a prank he would pull
39
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:20.680
on me as a kid whenever he would drive me places,
40
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.520
of course, not on the highway, but like drive throughs
41
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:28.080
and slow moving areas like that. He would suddenly hit
42
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:30.560
the brakes and he would make my head swing forward
43
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:36.000
and he would say oops and crossing. He would laugh
44
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:41.240
as I gave him a look. Every memory I have
45
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:44.599
with him I cherish dearly. He was my hero in
46
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:49.960
life and still is. He has all the answers. Now,
47
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:54.120
I want to thank you all for listening to his show,
48
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:57.319
whether you knew here or have been listening for years.
49
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.879
He appreciated every single one of you, and so do I.
50
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:05.400
So as far as the paranormal portal, I'm sure you're
51
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:09.599
all wondering what will happen moving forward. It was always
52
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:11.400
his dream that I would take it over and keep
53
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:14.680
that passion alive, and of course I plan to do
54
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:18.040
just that. It's just going to take time for me
55
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:24.319
to get things figured out and ready. But until then, in.
56
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:27.720
His own words, until then, you all take care and
57
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:31.079
remember we love you all. Be good, be kind, be nice,
58
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:34.399
take care of each other, help each other out, find
59
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:36.199
the magic and every day, and remember to laugh as
60
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:38.879
much as you can, and we'll be back next time.
61
00:04:38.920 --> 00:06:07.519
So good night. Everybody back then had a
62
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:22.199
Show too,

00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:47.600
