Brady clearly felt the loss, as did everyone that knew Thomas. He was very well known for being a kind, good natured man who always seemed to smile.
Brady and Thomas had many great battles on the field. Tom Brady, as a member of the New England Patriots, squared off agains Thomas and the Broncos in a number of important games. That includes two different AFC Championship games.
Peyton Manning and Demaryius Thomas won both of those games. The first time in the 2013-2014 season, the Broncos ended up losing the Super Bowl to Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks. But in 2016, Thomas finally ascended to championship status after defeating the Carolina Panthers to win Super Bowl 50.
Thomas was found dead at his home in Roswell, Georgia, police said Thursday. Authorities indicated his passing might have been caused by an existing medical issue. Thomas would have turned 34 years old on Christmas Day.
