Dwaine L. Thomas

Dwaine L. Thomas was a member of the Warren, Ohio community who lived at the St. Andrews Manor apartment complex on Southern Boulevard. Public records and local reporting confirm he was 52 years old when he died on August 11, 2021. While the public details about Dwaine’s life beyond his residence are limited in the available record, what is clear is that he was a person with ties to a neighborhood where people live, work, and form everyday connections.

Neighbors and residents of apartment communities like St. Andrews Manor often know one another in ordinary ways — passing in hallways or on steps, exchanging brief greetings, or sharing the small routines that make a place feel familiar. Dwaine’s presence at 407 Southern Blvd NW placed him among such neighbors in Warren, and his death affected people in that community who saw his life as part of the fabric of the area.

Official records show law enforcement responded after reports of shots fired early on August 11, 2021, and officers found Dwaine unresponsive at the foot of the steps to a unit. The Trumbull County Coroner’s Office was scheduled to conduct an autopsy. Local reporting notes that the complex had recently added security measures, reflecting community and management efforts to help residents feel safe. These factual details describe events around his passing but do not define the whole of Dwaine’s life.

Because there is no family-published obituary or funeral-home notice located in public obituary indexes that matches his name and the exact date of death, there is little publicly available information about his hobbies, family relationships, work history, or other personal details that would normally bring a fuller portrait of someone to a memorial. Out of respect for Dwaine and his family, this remembrance does not speculate about his life beyond what reliable sources confirm.

Those who knew Dwaine — family members, friends, and neighbors — hold the fuller memories that a public record cannot capture. Even when official documents are sparse, it’s important to acknowledge that Dwaine’s life mattered: he lived among others, took part in a community, and his absence was felt. May this modest page serve as a respectful recognition that Dwaine L. Thomas was a person of value whose life in Warren touched a neighborhood and whose memory belongs to those who loved him.
