BOSTON -- On Saturday afternoon, Isaiah Thomas stood at a dais in Tacoma, Washington, black sunglasses on to shield the tears he was fighting back and clutching an iPhone in order to ensure his words came out correctly as he said goodbye to his sister.
"When I found out the news, I wanted to give up and quit. Never in my life have I thought about quitting," Thomas told the family and friends that gathered to celebrate the life of Chyna Thomas, who passed away on April 15 following a single-vehicle accident.
"I realized quitting isn’t an option," added Thomas.
