Signature Sympathy Cards
Thomas Logan Bishop, age 15, passed away unexpectedly March 28, 2014 in Whispering Pines, NC. Born June 18, 1998 in Baltimore, Maryland, Thomas resided in Rocky Mount until 2012 and then relocated to Whispering Pines with his mother. He was a sophomore at The ONeal School in Southern Pines. Thomas loved sports and was a member of The ONeal Track and Field team. He enjoyed being an avid part of the swim team. Bonds of teamwork and friendship were formed with his many teammates.
Thomas was a member of Lakeside Baptist Church in Rocky Mount NC.
Thomas was the son of Kristie and John Michael Kane of Whispering Pines, N.C. and Timothy James Bishop, Sr. of Forest Hills, Maryland. He was preceded in death by his infant brother, James; and uncle, O.H. Bishop III of Darlington, Maryland.
Thomas leaves behind his brothers, Timothy and Gavin Bishop of Winston-Salem NC; maternal grandparents, Jerry and Christine Moore of Rocky Mount NC; paternal grandparents, Eunice and Oakie Bishop of Forest Hills, Maryland; aunts and uncles, Pamela Zbikowski (Don) of Arnold MD, Barry Bishop of Baltimore MD, Jerry Moore (Ashley) of Rocky Mount NC, Lisa Frazier (Donnie) of Whitakers NC, and Ashley Fish (Don) of Rocky Mount NC. Thomas was blessed with many cousins whom he loved dearly.
Thomas was an inspiration to all who knew him. He had a rare and special gift of loving and uplifting those around him. Blessed with wit, Thomas had a wonderful sense of humor. He was gifted with both academic abilities and practical life knowledge.
Greeted with his beautiful smile, Thomas never met a stranger and could talk with anyone on an array of subjects. He was never judgmental and always thought of others before himself. Thomas was the sunshine and the rain. He planted seeds of love which grew and changed the world around him. Those who knew him reaped the harvest of his love.
Sometimes the brightest stars burn the fastest. It is our duty to pass on the goodness and light that Thomas had in him.

I took Thomas home from school a lot- those car rides were the best. He was always playing some crazy song that I had never heard of and somehow he knew every single word! He helped me pick out a dress for a wedding I was going to, and my Halloween costume, and I knew I could count on his honest opinion. He was so selfless and willing to help me, he crawled out of bed a few times for me because I didn’t want to do errands by myself! Thomas was a great friend and I could always count on him- he is irreplaceable. Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. It was truly an honor to have a friend like Thomas, he will always be in my heart and memory. My condolences go out to all of his family and friends. -Bronti Viskovich

To the family of Thomas Logan Bishop, Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of Thomas. I did not know him personally but know the pain you must be feeling at this time. May you find comfort in knowing that our Heavenly Father promises to resurrect our dear loved ones back to perfect life on a paradise earth. (John 528, 29) He will wipe away tears from all faces. (Isaiah 258) During that time there will be no more causes of pain, sickness and sorrow. (Revelation 213, 4) Instead we will find delight in living every day in peace. (Psalm 3711, 29) May your faith in these promises bring you some encouragement as you go throughout your days ahead.
How deep & lasting the wound is when a child dies. How true the words of a Doctor who wrote The death of child is usually more tragic & traumatic than the death of an older person because a child is the last person in the family expected to die..The death of a child represents the loss of future dreams, relationships (son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren), experience..that have not yet been enjoyed. My deepest sympathy in our time of grief.
