“Kearse Family: I was saddened to hear of Thaddeus' transition, yet thankful that we had just spoken about the blessings of God only a few prior. Thaddeus served our church twice under my tenure, as Director of our youth choir, and again, as the first musician to serve in our second location. He was always ready to help however he could. The Brandywine community will remember him well. Please know your family has our prayers. Marilyn Walls, Union Bethel AME, Brandywine, MD”

“Family it saddens me to think that my good friend and brother Thaddeus has gone home to Glory. This past year Thaddeus and I had some many good conversations about the Lord, Commanders, and our childhood. I still can’t believe it! From “Labor to Reward” Love you my brother!! 💯”

“My heartfelt condolences to The family and friends of Thaddeus. I grew up with him in school, and he sang in choir. He had such a beautiful voice! One of my favorite songs he sang was, "Ezekiel Saw the Wheel." May he rest in eternal peace. 🙏😢”

“My prayers 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼and condolences to his family and friends. Thaddeus was a very talented organist. We went to high school together sang in a high school choir. Thaddeus played the organ and keyboard at several different churches. He was truly gifted and loved music. He was like magic on the keyboard and organ with several gospel hymns. May he Rest In Heavenly Peace.”
