He worked at Morton International for over 25 years but had many interests outside of his job. He was an avid fisherman who savored time outdoors with his fishing rod in hand. He also enjoyed a round of golf and loved his vacations at the beach where he could play golf and then relax by the shore. Tommy was “All In” for the Clemson Tigers, his favorite team.
Tommy is survived by brothers, Tony DeYoung (Debbie), Ted DeYoung (Anne), Johnny DeYoung, and Jimmy DeYoung (Wanda); nephews William DeYoung and Tyler DeYoung; niece Jill Ellege; three great-nephews; and a great-niece. He was predeceased by his parents, Junious B. DeYoung and Evelyn B. DeYoung.
