Thomas Fletcher Herrin, 34 of Woodbine, Ga passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, October 30, 2021.

Thomas was born on February 12, 1987, in Douglas, Georgia to Kenneth Fletcher
Herrin and Janice Jeffrey Herrin. He was raised in Brantley County, Georgia. He
was employed with Frito-Lay in St. Mary's Georgia. He enjoyed his position with
the company and loved the people he worked with.

Left behind in this wake of tragedy is his wife, Taron, and their three boys:
Matthew (13), Waylen (6) and Wyatt (9 months). Thomas and Taron were absolute
soulmates. As cliché as that may be, these two were inseparable. In their 8 years
and 4 months of marriage, they never spent a night apart, except when Wyatt was
born prematurely in January of this year, and they spent their first and only two
nights apart, due to Covid-19 restrictions.

Their love was one of fairytales. He was absolutely the love of Taron's life, and
Taron was his.

He was a dedicated family man, protecting and defending his family with stoic
resolve. A hero, in other words. Thomas' favorite thing to do was anything that
pleased his family. Not once did Thomas put his needs in front of his family. You
would often see Thomas as "Mr. Mom" in the bullpen at Waylen's baseball games,
running household errands and chauffeuring his boys to various events. He was his
boys' biggest fan!

Thomas had gifts, gifts that can be rarely found. When a new baby was born in the
family, he was always the first one that NEEDED to hold the baby. In fact, he
would get so antsy if another family member was "hogging" the baby. He was a
true baby whisperer and you never heard a child cry in his arms. In addition to
these special set of skills, Thomas was an ace in the kitchen. His signature dish
being a pound cake; over the years there were many lucky recipients to his famous

pound cake. We will all certainly miss those pound cakes just as much as we will
miss Thomas.

Many will agree that to know Thomas was to know love and joy. He found the
absolute best in everyone. His smile had a way of drawing you in and his hugs
provided the comfort that all was right in the world. He was a true man of God
who loved to fish, hunt, cook, watch college football, cheer on his favorite baseball
player, Waylen, play video games and hunt with Matthew and snuggle with Wyatt.

To the boys, he was "Diddy", to the rest of us, he was one of the greatest men to
walk this earth. His loss will never be fully grieved.

In addition to his wife of eight years, Taron Herrin, and sons Matthew, Waylen and
Wyatt, Thomas is survived by his father and mother, Fletcher Herrin and Janice
Herrin, his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Patrick Murray and Tina Murray,
three brothers Eric (Laura) Winters, Aaron (Dolly) Winters, and Seth Herrin, and
brother-in-law Tyler (Jessica) Murray. He also leaves behind several aunts, uncles,
cousins, great nieces and great nephews.

A memorial service will be held on Monday, November 8, 2021, at 5:00 p.m. at the
United Methodist Church in Woodbine, Georgia.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to his wife and children.

Allison Memorial Chapel is in charge of arrangements.
