Wayman Devon Thomas Jr, 51, of Lafayette passed away in his home on Wednesday, April 14, 2021. He was born on January 2, 1970 in Lafayette, IN to the late Brenda L Ravenscraft and Wayman Devon Thomas Sr. Devon held an associates degree and worked for the local Laborer’s International Union for 10 years prior to his passing.
Devon was an artist at heart. He enjoyed painting, drawing, and sculpting. Perhaps his greatest works were choppers he built out of toilet paper rolls- He even attached small LED headlights and taillights. He won the Outstanding Fighter Award in the Golden Gloves competition.
Devon leaves behind son Colton (Sabyl) Spear of Morgantown, IN; Son Noah Thomas of Lafayette, Daughter Sereniti Thomas of Lafayette, grandchildren: Brooklyn, Karsyn, and Huxley, brothers James (Kayla) and Richard (Heather) Glaze of Lafayette, Uncle Terry Thomas Lafayette, Aunt Angela Thomas of Murphysboro, TN, and grandmother Onita Thomas of Murphysboro. Also surviving are cousins Zach, Sam, Nathan, Keelin, Chad, Tracey, Jamey, Madison, Patrick, Nick, Miranda, Adriene, and Tayeton. Devon is preceded in death by sister Brandi R. Thomas, mother Brenda Ravenscraft, Cousin Jacob Thomas, grandmother Phyllis Ravenscraft, and nephew Jordan Scott Thomas.
Visitation will be held at the Tippecanoe Memory Gardens Chapel of Faith on Friday, April 23, 2021 at 12 PM with services immediately following at 2PM.
