Damrin Lee Chambers Thomas

December 10, 2004 - April 18, 2021

Damrin Lee Chambers Thomas, age 16 passed away Sunday night April 18, 2021 at Scottish Rite Hospital in Atlanta, GA. He was the oldest of 5 children. Damrin was a great big brother and was the one accepting of all hugs. He had such a contagious smile that would light up the room with happiness, his unrelenting laughter made everyone in earshot fall in love with him. Ever since Damrin was a little boy, he had a love for loud sounds and music. He loved to hear his family laugh and his siblings get in trouble. He spent his younger years attending elementary school, where he was surrounded by teachers that loved him and nurses that cared for him. We believed his favorite part was riding the school bus. Damrin was able to travel some with his family and visited places like the beach, underground caves, The White House and Disney World. Damrin certainly taught his family the true meaning of unconditional love. He will be missed by all that loved him.
