Bubba Thomas

It’s with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Bubba Thomas, a devoted father, son, husband, and friend who left his heart behind on April 7, 2026.   He was born in Columbia, SC and raised in a loving home in Cayce, SC.  He was a graduate of B.C. High School.

Bubba was an extremely hard-working man and the proud owner of Thomas Construction Land Clearing and Hauling that he started in 1988.  He loved to hunt and fish.  He also loved John Deer, NASCAR (Dale Earnheart, Sr.), and most of all, South Carolina Gamecocks.  He also loved spending time with his friends at Carolina Wings in Cayce.

He was a loving, devoted father to Heather and Michael and to his grandson Landon and granddog Ekko.  His legacy, strength and profound sense of love will remain with them forever and they can only hope heaven is just as beautiful as the life he gave them.

Bubba is survived by his two children Heather Thomas Smoak and Michael Thomas, grandson Landon Smoak, granddog Ekko, his loving wife and best friend Suzie Thomas, sister Jackie Lineman (Larry) and nephew Andy Kirton.

Bubba was preceded by his parents Sonny and Betty Thomas, sister Diane Thomas Jeffcoat, and grandparents Clyde and Nelly Kelly.

You may be gone from our sight but will forever remain in our hearts.

Pallbearers for the service are Michael Thomas, Lorenzo Ward, Alex Inabinette, Larry Harrington, Mike Satterfield, Scott Hamm, Donnie Driggers, Sidney Ellison.  Honorary pallbearers are Billy Jeffcoat, Pervis Hutto, Mitch Hook, and Durhamn Tager.
