Daddy, Many say within time my grief for losing you will get easier. I’m finding as time pass it gets harder. I miss EVERYTHING about you. Everything reminds me of you. Memories replay in my mind throughout the day. My heart hurts so bad for losing you. I can’t and now won’t ever be able to repay for you the unconditional love you gave me. I’ve been hearing stories about you, and even some wonderful things you have done that I never knew prior to you leaving us. They have only reconfirmed the what a WONDERFUL person you are and what a beautiful, selfless heart you had for those around you. My gosh I am at awe of you even more. I love you daddy. I miss you dearly, more than words can ever convey. Love always, forever and for eternity, “Your Baby Bold”, Vanessa

Daddy, Words can’t express the gratitude I have for being such an amazing father. I can truly, TRULY say I am who I am because of you. You have passed down quite a few qualities that I see in myself that is from being a part of you. And there are remarkable qualities that you held that I wish I had. There are many things I have said, hoping you hear me. I know, as you know, it is one of our private conversations . I pray and hope you hear me. Thank you for the special, endless, love you have given me. I will always deeply love you and how special you were to me. You will always be one of the biggest losses in my lifetime. I will always wish you to still be by my side. I remember all the amazing special things and memories we share as I grew. I will always be “your first baby. Your baby bold”. I love you forever Daddy

My grandfather, father, grandma, aunt and Malcolm X. My family cherished the close-knit bond they had with the Shabazz family - We always had greatness ruining through our veins... #wallacefamikyvalues

It comes with the biggest heartbreak to announce that my father, Thomas Wallace passed unexpectedly on April 23, 2024. My father was the greatest of men, an amazing human being, role model, the greatest man I’ll ever know in my lifetime. I don’t say that only because he was my father. Amongst many other things, he was an amazing husband to my mother, father to my sisters & I, son to his parents, brother to his siblings and became a proud grandfather days before he went to heaven. He was a selfless, thoughtful and loving human being to all his family, friends and even strangers. He held positions and was actively part of many causes to uplift communities around the United States & abroad. To name a few, he held dedicated positions in state government in Cleveland, Ohio, Director position at MTA headquarters, a mentor at the Eagle Academy, a dedicated brother to all 3 fraternities he was a proud member of Omega Psi Phi, Boyer Lodge No. 1 as a Master Freemason & The Boulé - Sigma Pi Phi, in all which he won many awards & recognitions especially in Excellence & Dedication in Community Service in each etc. etc. He loved my sisters & I unconditionally and forever. Through turbulent times, when we lost our way, to our greatest of our achievements, he always loved & supported us no matter what. We were always introduced as his kids proudly, no matter our ages. Even when he wasn’t feeling the best, he would muster the strength to tell people proudly “that’s my son “ and “that’s my daughter” for my sisters. He had an amazing bond & love with my mother. A love & bond that people are absolutely blessed to have. He loved and was very dedicated to our family in the Philippines as if they weren’t oceans away. Father, you have touched so many lives. They say time is a healer but I know pain will never go away. I’m heartbroken and I will miss you so, so much. I find little comfort in knowing you will be in heaven forever, loving and guiding us. I promise to be a better man each day. My biggest blessing being born to you & my mother. I am truly honored to have your name and always pray that I make you proud and carry on your legacy. Love your son, Thomas III

Daddy, Accepting that you are gone is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. Not only were you an excellent provider, but also our rock, our cheerleader, our everything. We attribute a great deal of our success to how you raised us. We knew we could conquer any task if we put our minds to it because we had your support. You understood the importance of cultivating the next generation for success, so we welcomed sharing your time and wisdom with those who didn’t have an amazing father like you to call their own. I will always be your go-getter, soldier, busy bee, and but most importantly, YOUR little girl. May God welcome you into the Kingdom of Heaven and until we meet again, rest in power – we got it from here, Daddy Love always, forever, and a day, Antoinette
