William "Thain" Lisenbee passed away March 9, 2015 and we will miss him unbearably. He died suddenly due to lack of oxygen from an obstruction in his trachea.
Thain was born May 6, 1992 in Tulsa, Oklahoma to Tina Modlin Lisenbee and the late Charles Thain Lisenbee. He attended Christ School, Arden and was a graduate of TC Roberson High School.
Thain was preceded in death by his loving father, Charles Thain Lisenbee. He is survived by his mother, Tina Modlin Lisenbee; grandparents, Mildred J. Modlin, James and Dorothy Modlin and Clark and Ola Lisenbee; his aunt and uncle, Patrick and Jayne Modlin; cousins Kyle Modlin and Jennifer Toates and her husband Mike and their children, Danni and John; his aunt and uncle Melissa and Paul Dermid; cousins Carissa Jones and Mitchell Jones, who were like sister and brother to him and his very best friends. He is mourned by many, many friends.
Thain had a strong trust in God and found much strength from his faith, especially this last year. As one of his closest friends posted, "Rest in Peace in Paradise". May light perpetual shine upon him. Thain brought much joy and laughter to everyone he met. He was a magnetic personality and spread happiness with his winning smile. He was a very kind soul who was deeply loved. A bright light will be forever missing in our lives.
A Celebration of Thain's life will be held at 2:00 PM on Sunday, March 15, 2015 at Groce Funeral Home at Lake Julian on Long Shoals Road in Arden.
If desired, memorial contributions may be made to Brother Wolf Animal Rescue, PO Box 8195, Asheville, NC 28814 or to a charity of one's own choice.

Our prayers from the Christ School family are with you all. When we reconvene after spring break next week we will remember Thain especially in our prayers as we celebrate his life. We give thanks for his time among us and wish you all peace.
I taught Thain in Sunday school at Calvary Church. He was such a sweet young man. Prayers for his family and friends.
