Still so hard to believe….we were just arguing about Alabama and Ohio State Football! Comforting to know that we ended the conversation with “I love you cuz”…”I love you too!”
May you rest in peace and enjoy your reunion with those who have gone on before you….May your memories of your kindness and good spirit put a smile on the many family and friends faces and replace the sadness in their hearts.

So sorry to hear of Tommy’s passing, seems so unreal since he’s such a young man. I know he had to be a great father, we only had connections on facebook but he always gave details of his children’s sports activities. He will truly be missed. Our sincere condolences go out to the entire family, we love you all.

I was shocked to hear about Tommy. I met Tommy through my Throckmorton kids and grandchildren’s Uncle Duck. He always had a great big smile on his face whenever he came over. He be yelling “Mom where are you” and then everyone else be like TBZ’s here mom. Had wonderful talks with each other some personal some not. But to see him talk about his children He would literary glow with love and was so proud of all of them. He was one of the good ones that walked through my life and the lives of my children and grandchildren. I won’t remember him from the last time I seen him as he came and gave me a huge bear hug at my daughters memorial and was comforting me. But I will see him coming in and laughing, joking and just being himself. With that big contagious smile of his. May God and his Angels wrap their arms and wings around all those in his family and love ones but especially his children who can say they had a great father. He will forever be in my heart as a special wonderful friend and adopted son.
