Memphis Mourns the Passing of Noah Thomas

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The University of Memphis men's soccer team mourns the passing of a former member of the program, Noah Thomas. Thomas was 23 years old.

Thomas was a member of the 2016 Memphis recruiting class but ended up transferring to Dalton State following preseason of his freshman year.

"Noah, while he was only a part of our program for a very short period of time, we put in a lot of time recruiting him while he was playing for Concorde Fire and Lanier High School," Memphis head coach Richard Mulrooney remarked. "It gave us an opportunity to not just see that he was a special soccer player with immense talent, but that he was a special person with a massive heart, great character and big personality that made him a favorite of the coaches and his teammates."

"As we say to each person who comes to Memphis to be a part of the program, regardless of their impact on the field, they will forever be a part of the program and the history here. Noah was no exception and will certainly be missed by all who were lucky enough to get to know him."

The viewing is from 6-8 p.m. ET on Saturday and on Sunday at 2 p.m. for the funeral service at Flanigan Funeral Home (4400 S. Lee St., Buford, GA 30518).
