It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Robert Paul Thomas, who departed this life on September 23, 2026, in Snow Hill, Maryland. Born on March 8, 1970, in Baltimore, Maryland, to the late Gilbert and Doris Thomas, Rob, or Bobby as his family called him, had a heart of gold, helpful nature, and lived a life with kindness and unwavering dedication to his family, friends and his beloved beagle Chipper.
Rob, a beloved son, brother, and friend, spent the past several years working for Ocean 1 Hotel & Suites in Ocean City as a hotel clerk while also pursuing his associate's degree in Hospitality Management at Wor-Wic Community College. He took great pride in his work and cherished the relationships he built throughout his life. He had a passion for sports, especially the Atlanta Braves, Washington Redskins (as he always called them), and Baltimore Ravens. He loved spending time with family and is known for his friendly demeanor which left a lasting impression on all who crossed his path.
