Vinson Andrew Thomas I

Vinson Andrew Thomas I "Vinny" was a prince and a fighter, 25 beautiful years young out of Norwalk, California. God chose to invite Vinny home on April 26, 2019 at 3:05am in Baldwin Park. His warm glitter and mild mannered beauty consumed people with joy. In a whoosh of magic, he risked his life and limbs to protect his fellow human being. He was so good for this world. Made of love, he was the promise of inspiration and openness. He had an intensity for football at a young age and continued to play for 10 years and an affection for running track. He graduated from Gahr High and was in full swing of becoming a traveling nurse.

We felt so loved by him. On a pedestal, his mother Maria, Father Ronnie, Dad John, Grandparents Vicente and Mary Briseno, sister Jazmine, cousins, Harley, Benjamin, Joseph, Brooklyn, Rebel, Nova, Genesis, Alexandra, Viviana and Julius. He was the epitome of indescribable elegance and extraordinary beauty of a simple human heart. He created something lasting. What a beautiful Spring! Everything shimmering and all that incredible soft light. What a way to end with a statement of purpose. Long live the beauty that comes down and through and onto all of us. Now, Vinny is at rest and we hold him close within us, in our mind and spirit.

Vinson leaves behind his loving family: Father, Ronnie Thomas Jr of Virginia, Mother, Maria Forte (Jon) of Norwalk, California, Sister, Jazmine Forte of Norwalk, California, Grandmother, Mary Briseno of Norwalk, California, Grandfather, Vicente Briseno of Norwalk, California, as well as several other family members and friends who loved him and will miss him dearly.
