Clifford Henry Thomas IV

September 7, 1974 - November 14, 2020

Louie was taken from us too soon on the morning of November 14, 2020 Louie was born September 7th, 1974 in Stockton, Ca. to Clifford Henry Thomas III and Dom Thomas. He grew up in Stockton and went to Calaveras High where he played football and wrestled. After graduating high school he immediately joined the US Navy with several of his friends and served four years on the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier where he worked as a crash and salvage crew member. He received the sea service deployment ribbon and Southwest Asia metal with bronze star. After his military service he did many jobs, but his favorite by far was being a wrestling coach. He loved wrestling with a passion, loved coaching kids and his sons. On his spare time he loved bodybuilding, riding motorcycles and fishing with his best friend, his dog Bully. Louie is survived by his wife Erica, his sons Malias, Jordan, Aydin, Chris and his step son Tony. His father Cliff and step-mom Linda. His mother Dom and sister Gaola. His nieces Tommi, Alexis and Faith and numerous Aunts, cousins and friends. At this time the family ask to please respect their privacy while they are grieving. In lieu of flowers, we ask that you share a memory with the family, go out and catch a fish, watch a wrestling tournament, adopt a dog. Most of all, tell your loved ones just how much you care about them. Due to Covid, funeral services will be private and for immediate family. At a later date we will be having a service at the San Joaquin Valley National Cemetery where family and friends can attend Louie you are loved and will be missed by so many.
