Thom’s remarkable legacy lives on in the hearts of his devoted wife of 34 years, Tina; his step-son, Tommy; his daughter, Samantha; and his granddaughters, Tanner and Tallon.

Thom’s most cherished roles were those of a loving husband, father, and grandfather. He inspired countless lives through his unwavering love, dedication, and generosity. He had a uniquely calm and relaxed way about him that put everyone around him at ease. His quick wit, infectious sense of humor, and ability to find laughter in everyday moments brought joy to family, friends, and even strangers. He possessed a remarkable gift for turning strangers into lifelong friends, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him was profoundly blessed by his extraordinary presence.

Thom treasured every moment spent on the golf course, whether he was playing with Samantha, family members, lifelong friends, or someone he had just met. For Thom, golf was never just about the game it was about the people. He loved the conversations between shots, the laughter shared over a good round, and the friendships strengthened over countless hours on the course. He loved cheering on his favorite sports teams. Those who have been fortunate enough to cheer on sports teams with Thom will forever have those memories etched in their hearts.

Thom was a highly valued and cherished employee of Danielle Fence and Outdoor Living for 35 remarkable years, leaving an indelible mark on the lives of his colleagues and all who worked alongside him.

Thom’s influence extended far beyond his immediate family. Having raised his step-son Tommy since the age of five who he was immensely proud of for his selfless service to our country, Thom helped shape the man he became. Through his example of patience, loyalty, hard work, humor, and unconditional love, he played a profound role in molding Tommy into the devoted husband, loving father, and caring man he is today.

He wholeheartedly supported his wife and both of his children, instilling in them the values of courage, resilience, and compassion.

The lessons Thom taught, often through simple everyday moments rather than words alone will continue to live on through all those whose lives were touched by Thom’s guidance and love.
