In the early days of February 2017, the life of 35-year-old Thomas Eugene Board was tragically cut short in Louisville, Kentucky. A Black/African American man, Board passed away on February 6, 2017, under violent circumstances that authorities would later classify as a murder or death by force.

Following his untimely passing, arrangements were made to honor his memory.
A visitation was held, followed by a funeral service at the New Life Seventh Day Adventist Church, where friends and family gathered to pay their final respects. He was later laid to rest in Green Meadows Cemetery.

Despite the classification of his death as a homicide, there has been no publicly released information regarding any potential suspects or arrests in connection with the case. The circumstances surrounding his death remain shrouded in mystery, and the investigation into who was responsible has yet to yield any public developments. His case stands as a painful and unresolved chapter for his loved ones and the wider Louisville community.
