He was adopted and raised by Rex and Auleva Thomas, and never knew or met either of his birth parents. Sadly his mother, Auleva, died when Dave Thomas was only 5 years old. Rex Thomas moved the family often and re-married 3 times. At the age of 12, Dave had to quit school and take his first job – working full time in a restaurant.
