Obituary

Michael Joseph Thomas, also known as Mikala Logan Thomas, passed away in Hilo, HI on July 1, 2022. Mikala was born in Minneapolis, MN on May 7, 1962. He grew up in Bloomington, graduated Moorhead State University and started his career locally in Advertising and Design.

He moved to California to pursue his dream job with Disney. After several years in California, his heart drew him to the Islands. Mikala shared his talent and love of music with his students, through his performances, and with other musicians on the island. He was an accomplished artist/designer and had the ability to tweak something and make it just perfect.

Mikala loved his dog Lola, who is now with his friend Arthur. Mikala’s love extended to so many from all ages and walks of life. He was accepting of who and where you were on life’s path.

Preceded in death by his parents, Richard "Dick" and Doris "Dorie" Thomas. Survived by siblings: David (Theresa) Thomas, Linda (Viktor) Jegers, Richard (Jessica) Thomas, Donald (Angela) Thomas; niece and nephews Thomas Jegers, Liana Jegers (Clay Hickson), Dashiell Thomas (Jordan Brunsberg), Griffin Thomas, and Fletcher Thomas; and stepmother Georgia Thomas. He is also survived by innumerable friends and extended family members.

Celebrations of life to be held in Hilo and in Minneapolis at a future date.
