With heavy hearts and profound sadness, we announce the passing of Thomas Patrick Fayard Jr., who left this world far too soon on Saturday, March 15, 2025, at the young age of 33. Born on August 8, 1991, Thomas was a lifelong resident of St. Bernard Parish, where he spent his days surrounded by the people and places he knew best. Though life brought him many challenges, Thomas carried a quiet strength and deep loyalty to his family. Thomas now joins in eternal rest his father, Thomas Patrick Fayard Sr., brothers Ronnie Kieff (Jennifer) and Arthur Packard Jr., paternal grandparents Thomas and Myrtle Fayard, and maternal grandparents George and Doris Victoriana. Thomas is lovingly survived by his mother, Barbara Victoriana Fayard; his children, Thomas Patrick Miller (Fayard) and Jaelyn Fayard; his siblings, Monica Fayard Morel (Brett), Michelle Fayard- Bickel (Wes), Cheri Kieff (Tammy), Nicholas Fayard; and his niece, Alycia Packard, who was like a sister to him. He also leaves behind a wide circle of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews all of whom will miss his presence and remember his kind soul. Though his time with us was brief and his path was not always easy, Thomas's life will be remembered with love by those who knew his heart. His memory will live on forever through his children and in the hearts of those who loved him. He will be remembered for the love he gave, the laughter he shared, and the strength he showed in the face of life's challenges. 'In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to a homeless shelter of your choice in his memory.'
