UNITY Mourns the Loss of Coach Fundi

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the passing of Coach Fundi Thomas.

Coach Fundi passed away unexpectedly at his home from a heart attack. We know this news is sudden and devastating for so many who knew and loved him.

Please keep his wife, Tennille Thomas, their sons, Jayden and Torrance, and the entire Thomas family lifted in your prayers during this incredibly difficult time. We ask that everyone respect the family's privacy and give them the space they need to grieve as they navigate this unimaginable loss.

Coach Fundi touched countless lives through his leadership, mentorship, and unwavering commitment to young people. His legacy will live on in the many athletes, families, coaches, and friends who were blessed to know him.

“UNITY was so honored to have a person like Coach Fundi at our organization," said UNITY President Julian McElveen. "He selflessly gave so much to our football and basketball programs, and his memory will live on in the hundreds of kids he’s coached and mentored.“ 

Additional information will be shared as it becomes available.
