Ulric Alexander Thomas, age 93, passed away peacefully on October 26,
2024, following a courageous battle with cancer. He was born on
November 18, 1930, in Triumph Village, Guyana, to Vivian and Emily
Thomas. In 1955, he married the love of his life, Evril, whom he met by
chance one day at a ravine. They shared many happy years until Evril’s
passing in 1997.
A skilled carpenter by trade, Ulric attended carpentry school and spent
many years building his career in Guyana. He was passionate about music
and dancing, earning the nickname “Sugar Foot” for his impressive dance
moves and frequenting the dance halls whenever he could.
In June 1984, Ulric moved to Canada, where he worked tirelessly as a
kitchen helper at Pat Mario’s Restaurant, known for his dedication and work
ethic, often working 12-hour shifts. In 1997, he retired early to fulfill a
promise to his late daughter, Tessa, becoming the sole guardian of her
three children, Troy, Teressa, and Tenille. Raising them became his
ultimate purpose, and he faced every challenge with strength and
unwavering love.
Ulric remarried in 2001 to Julietta, who passed away in 2018.
He leaves behind a legacy of love and resilience, survived by his seven children: Donna, Lavern, Carla, Loraine, Mark (Dorrett), Adrian (Lorna) and Claudius (Brenda)
25 grandchildren: Neocie, Dexter, Alicia, Mark Jr., Delon, Irwin, Travis, Deanna, Adrian Jr., Allana, Aliyah, Keisha, Keshawn, Keon, Kearra, Junior, Marlon, Nyotha, Onessie, Alika, Tonya, Timothy, Troy, Teressa and Tenille.


He is also survived by 26 great-grandchildren, and a great great-grandchild. All of whom he adored.
Please join us in celebrating the life of our family’s beloved patriarch.
