Las Vegas Review Journal, 3/25/2007
ADAM THOMAS It is with the heaviest of hearts that immediate and extended 
family announces the passing of their beloved Adam Gregory Thomas Sunday, March 
18, 2007. He was born July 6, 1985, to Kelly Renee Thomas (Boyers) and George 
G. Thomas, Jr. in Zanesville, Ohio. Adam was a senior at the University of 
Nevada Reno. His areas of study were political science and journalism. He was 
currently an intern through the UNR Political Science Department at the Nevada 
State Legislature working for State Sen. Michael Schneider. Recently, Adam had 
the opportunity to present an amendment to the legislature and received high 
praise for his research and presentation. His area of special interest was 
health care policy. Adam was a 2003 graduate of Faith Lutheran High School in 
Las Vegas. In high school, he participated in a variety of extracurricular 
activities such as: debate, journalism (Las Vegas Review-Journal R-Generation 
Columnist), tennis, lacrosse and youth ministry. He had a love for music, 
playing the guitar with friends and family. He has since been a Reno resident, 
attending classes year round at Nevada and participating in community events. 
Over the past three years Adam trained at the Charles Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy 
in Reno. Adam earned the prestigious Purple Belt which was given to him on 
Thursday. He had become very close to the sport and the people with whom he 
trained. Along with his parents, he leaves behind a younger brother, Alec 
Nelson Thomas, a sophomore at Bishop Gorman High School; his stepfather, Jerold 
E. Boyers, M.D.; and his stepsisters, Lesley, Lauren, and Lindsay. Adam will 
always be missed greatly by his immediate and extended family. We have been 
overwhelmed by the outpour of love and support by those whose lives he touched. 
Words cannot express our appreciation in this time of great sorrow. In order to 
honor Adam's life we have established The Adam Thomas Memorial Fund. The funds 
donated will be given to the UNR Foundation for The Adam Thomas Legislative 
Internship Scholarship Fund and the University of Nevada Health Sciences 
System. Donations can be made via his account: #153752422540 at any USBANK 
location. A memorial service will be at 10 a.m. Tuesday, April 17, at Our Lady 
of Las Vegas Catholic Church on Alta Drive. Adam will be laid to rest in 
Zanesville, Friday, March 30.
