I didn't know Thorn like many of my colleagues did...But what I knew about Thorn is that he loved his family and loved the outdoors. That man split wood every day! He loved spending time and spoiling his family members. I know God has him a log cabin upstairs. Thorn will be missed by all of us and by his family. We will continue to pray for his family.

Thorn and I only worked together for a short time, but he was always extremely nice, always happy, loved to talk about his friends and family and whatever else was on his mind, and was full of helpful work information. He will be missed

I met Thorn at his 2nd or 3rd Kick Off Classic, but just barely. I got to know him better at the golf outing Mark mentioned. He talked about how much fun he had for a year or two afterward, and he didn't even golf. I really got to know him after I moved on to Commercial Coordinator and spent way too much time talking with him about projects. He loved to talk and a short call could easily surpass an hour. He may be best remembered for the Christmas Toy Drive he and Michelle established after the tragic passing of their son. He was a thoughtful and caring person and the world is a little emptier without him.

Thorn will be missed by so many. May the love you shared and the memories you hold bring you comfort and strength. Please know you’re in my thoughts, and I’m wishing you peace and healing in the days ahead.

There was something about Thorn that even stood out among our crew of wildcards, a truly one-of-a-kind soul... a man entirely himself. One of those amazing people that needed very few words to leave a lasting impression. Our interactions were rare, but every encounter brought a quiet laugh, a big smile, and left me a little lighter, a little better, a little happier than before. Those of us blessed to know him, even a little, felt it and knew in a very short time, you had a "brother" in Thorn. That was his gift—endearing, humble, and benevolent, yet unforgettable. With the light he brought to the simplest of interactions, I dare not reflect on the loss his loved ones must be carrying; you all have my deepest sympathies and my heartfelt prayers. 🙏Lord, Bless Thorn's loved ones in this trying time and welcome Thorn into Your loving arms; surround him with the same joy and kindness he so freely shared with the world. 🙏Amen!

It is always heartbreaking to lose a colleague and friend. We lost a great one with Thorn. Though we didn't work directly together, we were on the same team. I went back and looked at some emails he and I had sent back and forth. I am grateful that we had time with us that he did. Thorn will be greatly missed.
