Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Oh my friend you are so missed. Love you like a brother.

I've loved you all my life. You have been here and you were there when I came in this world and you were always there. I tried to do my best after mama went to heaven to be here for you when she wasn't. You made me laugh and you made me proud and you even made me worry sometimes but one thing I always knew you always loved me as much as I love you. Thank you for being my brother. I'll always be your Tinker Bell
always in my heart
your baby sister

My husband and I first met "Hook" at Lowry Mechanical and loved him from day one. Then he and my husband ended up together again at Jennings-Dill. Such a sweetheart and he will be sorely missed!

I was a childhood, teenage and young adult friend of Tommy. We did everything from cutting class at school, smoking, drinking, chasing women and all that goes along with that and in between... I remember the last time I saw him he was standing outside of Furman's store, one of the old hell raising hangouts, looking across to the old Wilson yard. We also spent a lot of time at Pa Pa's Place on 8 Ball Corner, Foxx's and down at The Big Oak. We'd play basket ball at Stanley's and at the Anderson Road Mission. We caught crawdads in the neighborhood creeks, pulled numerous pranks on people and just had a damn good time. I can never think about the old days without a memory of this old boy. So many twisted stories..... Rest in Peace Brother, you will be missed by many! My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. Say hi to Byrd and Jeannie.

Condolences to the family - so sorry for your loss

I LOVE YOU MY BROTHER!! I CANT BELIEVE YOU'RE GONE!! YOU WILL BE MISSED BY MANY!! LOVE YOU TO HEAVEN AND BACK!!

I first met Tommy in 1990 when I moved from California to Judson and met him through Tm Emory. Tommy was a great guy and I found him funny as heck. We had some great times at Dino's, at Tim's house and my house. It was a honor to know him. I send my condolences to his family. RIP Tommy
