It was less than 2 weeks ago that Rickey Smiley took to social media to ask for prayers for Pastor Fred. He was suffering from complications related to COVID-19. Rickey also said Pastor Fred had pre-existing conditions which complicated his case.
Wednesday the beloved friend of the Rickey Smiley Morning Show lost his fight with the virus.
His son posted this: It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of my father Pastor Fred Thomas. This was not our will or desire, but it is the will of God in which we accept. Please pray for my family and I as we go through this trying time of loss. All will be well and we will make it through this as he would have wanted us to. Arrangements will be announced. Thank you.
Less than a day before he posted this message, medical personnel taking care of his father were “encouraged” by his lab reports. What a sad turn for the absolute worst!
Rickey Smiley Morning Show listeners know Pastor Fred Thomas for his “Church in 60 seconds” segment. Smiley says Thomas was one of his favorite comedians. He says when he took over for the Tom Joyner Morning Show he was excited to know he would be broadcasting from Dallas and would have the opportunity to work with Pastor Fred.
Pastor Fred Thomas lived in McKinney, TX which is north of Dallas.
