Douglas Todd Thomas known as "Doug or Uncle Doug" was born to the late Franklin D. Thomas and Margaret A. Thomas on December 21, 1962. He departed this life on December 11, 2025.

Doug attended Gainesville Elementary, Stonewall Middle (Unity Braxton) and graduated from Stonewall Jackson High School (Unity Reed). He then went to Northern VA College taking up mechanics.

Doug married Betty Corum, his elementary school classmate in November on 22, 1990. From this union they have three children, Tonoi, Douglas Jr. and Eboni.

Doug had a variety of careers, he worked at Belair Junk Yard as a mechanic, Vint Hill Army Base as a file clerk, Sears as a mechanic, Home Kim as a door and window installer, Woodlawn Construction as a grounds man, Evergreen Deli as a cook, which was his actual passion. While working at Evergreen he also was a domestic engineer/caregiver and handyman for his dear friend Donell Pollard. Over the years health issues began to take a toll on Doug. He decided to lighten his workload and only assist his friend Donell Pollard.

Doug was a loving husband and father. A never-ending Redskins (Commanders) fan. A man with a big heart and a willingness to always help. All those that he has touched were blessed by his kindness and friendship.
