Being a family law judge is a very difficult job. It is fraught with high emotion, drama and critical decisions.

Judge Thomas handled it in stride.

Judge Dewayne Thomas passed away unexpectedly Wednesday, September 16. 2026.

He was honest, fair and truly cared about the families that came before him.

He will be missed.

He loved his family, Ole Miss athletics and fishing!

Condolences to his family. Prayers for peace and comfort.
