Curtis Thomas III

Curtis "Trey" Thomas, III was born on March 28, 1985 to Wanda K. Peterson and Curtis Thomas, Jr. He departed this life on June 8, 2016. The moment he started his journey, Curtis was a ball of energy. From almost falling off the couch as an infant, to running into the walls as a toddler, speeding tickets as a teen and working three jobs at times as an adult, while still making time for Zumba, his energy was always on a hundred. Curtis, who was also known as "Trey", graduated from Sussex Central Senior High School. He participated in the JROTC and played the trumpet and saxophone in the band. Once he got a piece of the stage, nothing could keep him away. You could find him dancing at any given time up and down the shore. Curtis was to everybody exactly what they needed; which meant something different to each person he knew. No one would disagree that he had a smile that could light up a room and had a beautiful heart. Curtis made a living as the infamous "beach" bartender and fearless runway model who wasn't afraid of the crowd. A few of his hobbies included; dragging friends out to go crabbing, cooking in 'Curt MaGurt's Kitchen, traveling, coaching cheer, and hanging out with family and friends. Currently, he was enrolled at the Delaware Institute of Cosmetology. He loved to do hair with a passion and you would often hear him say " Hair on Fleek"! Curtis was preceded in death by his grandparents, Doris and James Hutchins; grandfather, Curtis Thomas Sr., and uncle, Johnny Phillips. Curtis was survived by his mother, Wanda K. Peterson (Jimmy); father, Curtis Thomas Jr.; grandmother, Grace W. Thomas; brothers, Antonio Rodriquez Jr. and Demetrius Williams; aunts, Velbatine Mapp (Joe), Esther Henry (Sherman), Doris Butts (Clifton), Patricia Otero, Shirley Wallace, Marea Tolliver, Venita Young (Lamont), Delores Hinton (Dwight), Patricia Askew (Ronald), Donna Thomas-Slaughter (Joey), Sandra Frasier (David) and Tonia Raibon (Kelvin); uncles, Dr. Norman Hutchins (Karen), Elmer Phillips (Jennifer), James Hutchins Jr., Micheal Hutchins, Tony Phillips; a special friend, Mike Faben; and a host of special cousins and friends.
