A motorcyclist killed last week was honored by his motorcycle club Tuesday evening with a memorial ride.

Nearly 200 motorcycles lined the street outside of the Post Avenue home of the late Lee Thomas. Riders wore black stripes on their jackets to honor his memory.

“He was a good friend. And I’m going to miss him.” said Tim Murphy.

The 55-year-old was killed last Friday afternoon after hitting a car that turned in front of him on Otis Street. His daughters say he was a family man who loved to have a good laugh.

“He’s a funny man. There’s a lot of good stories," Thomas' daughter Latesha Parson said. "He’s strict, but he’s funny."

Thomas was the vice president of the Black Dynamite Motorcycle Club. They were joined by several other clubs on the memorial ride.

“It’s just a testament how Lee was recognized throughout the community, the bike community," Club president James Jones said. "We’ve been together for 10 years, and he’s well known all across the east coast.”

After a prayer and moment of silence, the motorcyclists drove from his home to the accident site, where a memorial was set up. 

“Its customary among bikers, where a biker goes down, we memorialize them there.” Jones said.

The driver of the sedan was cited for failing to yield the right of way, upsetting Thomas' family.

“I don’t see how they let the young man go with just a ticket. It doesn’t make sense to me, it doesn’t make sense to me," Parson said. "And one day, after we get through this, we will get answers.” 

But for now, they say they want to live in the love shown around them.

“I had no idea people loved my father the way they did," Rickey Johnson, Thomas' son, said. "People are coming from everywhere, and its like wow, look at all the lives he touched. It’s amazing, really amazing.”

Funeral arrangements have yet to be finalized. A GoFundMe has been established on behalf of Thomas.
