Detective Randall "Shane" Thomas Biographical Information
Incident Details
Detective Thomas died of complications from an injury he sustained while taking part in mounted patrol training in May 2009. He was training at Horseshoe Farms, when the horse he was riding reared and fell on top of him, breaking his neck and rendering him a quadriplegic. He was airlifted to Mission Hospital and spent the next four months rehabilitating in Atlanta, Georgia. Detective Thomas returned home in October 2009 but had limited mobility. With the assistance of voice activated computer software, he was able to return to work with the sheriff's office performing computer data entry and managing confidential information about drug dealers. Detective Thomas developed complications, as a result of his spinal injuries, and passed away December 28th, 2012. Detective Thomas had served with the Henderson County Sheriff's Office for 19 years. He is survived by his wife, two sons, two daughters, grandson, sister, brother, and parents.

| Posted 5 months ago Rest in peace Det. Thomas. I'll keep you, your family, friends and co-workers in my thoughts and prayers. A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

| Posted 4 months ago Rest in peace Brother. Have ASP will travel. Justice is the one thing you should always find, you gotta saddle up your boys you gotta draw a hard line. When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune and we'll all meet back at the local saloon. And we'll raise up our glasses against evil forces singing whiskey for my men beer for my horses. |









REST IN PEACE
