Jadore N. Thomas

Jadore “ JoBlo” Nasir Thomas was born February 12, 2005, in Columbia, South Carolina, the beloved son of Shea Thomas and Hodari Gardner.  He peacefully transitioned from this earthly life on  Monday, February 23, 2026, at his residence surrounded by his loving family.

Though his journey had challenges, his strength spoke louder than words ever could.  “JoBlo” as he was affectionately called,  was resilient, courageous, and deeply loved.  His quiet endurance and powerful spirit touched everyone he encountered or who encountered him.

Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing Jadore is now resting peacefully, free from struggle and embraced by eternal peace. 

Waiting to greet Jadore in heaven is his grandmother Lavern Gardner, whom he adored.

Those who are forever cherishing fond and precious memories of Jadore are his loving mother, Shea Thomas; and his father, Hodari Gardner; his loving sisters, Samaya Thomas, Nautica Tolbert, and Trinity Bishop; brothers, Chance Bishop, Bishop Bishop, Jakari Gardner, Hodari Tolbert and Derrick Baker, Jr.; his loving grandmother, Vivian Thomas; caring uncles, Ronald Thomas II, Jarvis Harris and Stefen Harris; loving and adoring aunts, Ariel Thomas and Natasha Thomas; and a host of uncles, aunts, cousins, and other loving relatives and dear friends, all of whom will dearly miss him, but rejoice that he is now resting in peace.

 Jadore fought a battle most could never imagine, and he fought it with a strength that humbled everyone around him.  He will be missed.
