Thomas Franklin “Tommy” Thomas, 67, of Clarksburg passed away on Sunday, October 31, 2021.

He was born in Clarksburg on June 8, 1954, a son of the late Charles and Rosa Abraham Thomas.

He is survived by his wife of 28 years, Susan Fittro Thomas, whom he married on December 5, 1992.

Tommy was a graduate of Victory High School class of 1972 and a 1985 graduate of the 58th basic training class of the State Police Academy. He was employed by the Shinnston Police Department from 1984 through 1990 and the Clarksburg Police Department from 1990 through 2009 where he also became the DARE officer in 1996. In 2003 Tommy was recognized by the Clarksburg Police Department for his dedication to the DARE program, and in 2005 he was named officer of the month, also by the Clarksburg Police Department.
