Darius Ja’Quan Thomas was a promising young scholar from Bayview Hunters Point, whose life was cut short on April 20, 2018. Darius was a born leader and talented entertainer; he could light up the room with his smile and warm our hearts with his love.

Darius was a devoted Christian who attended Bethel Cathedral Church of God in Christ with his beloved family. He was an active member, participating in nearly every department, from Sunday School, Sunshine Band, community outings, the youth choir, church plays to all the other activities curated by the Youth Department.

By far Darius’s favorite activity in church was playing the drums. Through his diligence and dedication to the music department, Darius became the lead drummer for morning worship service.

Darius was also honored by our church for his academic achievements.

As a proud graduate of Lowell High School, Class of 2015, Darius participated in nearly every sport featured. His passion lay in football, where his teammates and coaching staff truly enjoyed his sportsmanship and good sense of humor.

Darius loved to make people laugh and smile. It brought joy in his life. He was academically admired and socially accepted by everybody.
