It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of one of our own. Brother Andrew Ronnel Julian Thomas (Gamma Theta, Spring 2009) passed away this week.
A vigil will be held in Brother Thomas’ honor today, Thursday, September 3, 2015 at 8:00 p.m. in the UW-Madision Multicultural Student Center. More information can be found on the Facebook event page for the vigil.
Memorial services will be held this Friday, September 4, 2015 at 12:00 p.m. at Park Avenue Methodist Church (3400 Park Avenue Minneapolis, MN 55407).
A memorial fund has been started in Brother Thomas’ honor at gofundme.com, and a t-shirt fundraiser is also underway to contribute toward his memorial fund. Brothers are also encouraged to post about their memories of Andrew using #AndrewLaugh to contribute to a community of posts about his life and those he impacted.
Lambda Theta Phi will recognize Brother Thomas in the Omega Lambda ceremony next year at our National Convention in Miami Beach, FL. The Omega Lambda ceremony is a time to remember and honor brothers who have passed during the previous year with a formal ceremony marking their induction into Omega Lambda Chapter.
