Thomas was born the only son to Wilfred and Alma Bonner Young in Hempstead, Texas on July 13, 1947, a 6th generation Texan. He proudly service in the United States Coast Guard on active duty from 1966 to 1970 where he was a proud Golden Shell Back Crab and then served for two years in the reserves. In 1973 he joined the Harris County Sheriff's Department and rose through the ranks from jailer to Detective Sergeant in 1978. In 1980 he moved to Belton to be closer to his wife's parents and joined the Temple Police Department in 1982. He served in many capacities from patrol to training. He formed the first Official Honor Guard and his last 5 years before retirement, in 2000 he was one of the first two motorcycle officers for Temple Police Department. He served honorably in the US Navy Reserves from 1984 to 1991. One of his proudest moments was when he was Raised in the Masonic Knob Creek Lodge 401 with his uncle by his side. He served the Lodge faithfully and was Worshipful Master three times. He was recommended and appointed District Deputy Grand Master for 2001. He received the Golden Trowel Award in 2006. For all his work as Worshipful Master he represented Knob Creek at the 1994 Cornerstone Laying for the Capital extension in Austin. He then gave his time to Shriners International and in 2014 became the Potentate for Karem Shrine in Waco, a truly great honor. He was also a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. His love for motorcycles never died and he rode for S.A.F.E on funeral escorts until his death.
