Tom, you are a man that I hope I can be like some day.  One of my heroes.
-- Spence

Tom and I had talked on the phone twice about shipping an excavator. Something went wrong but Tom tried his best to take care of it. I'm sorry to hear this sad news. You will be with god in heaven. Rest in Peace

I only met Tom a few times but that was enough to leave a long and lasting impression. He was a rare breed, a genuine and truly  nice, nice, man. My Condolences and prayers go out to his family.

What a shock to hear of the loss of Tom.  All the best wishes to Tom's family.

We were so saddened by the news of Tom's passing.  He was a happy go lucky guy, always wore a smile.  Nancy may you and the kids feel his presence always.  Sending you all a big hug!!! God Speed Tom Merrill.

My condolences to you Nancy, and your childern. I am deeply saddened by the loss of Tom. Such a kind man and I will always remember his deep one of a kind voice over the radio when working with him at Deer Valley. May his spirit be with you always. Much love.

Nancy, ours thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Pat & Russ Gibson,

Nan:  So grateful for the beautiful family you and Tom created.  And so stunned and saddened by your sudden loss.  I'll treasure the times spent in the bleachers cheering along with you both.  I'll miss Tom's smile and his gentle approach.  Much love, Dawn, Mary & family.

Losing a son has been the most challenging experience.
My heartfelt love to his parents, wife and children.

When I worked with Tom in Alaska for a summer, he hooked me on Paul Harvey...now Tom will get to know the rest of the story.  Condolences to the family as our thoughts are with you.

Tom was always one of my favorite cousins. He took the time to hang out and get to know his younger, more annoying cousins. We spent our time plotting against him, just because he would play with us. What a loss. Nancy our thoughts and prayers are with you and your kids during thins trying time.

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
If your cup is full may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of man

I am heartbroken to learn of Tom's passing. Truly one of the nicest men I've ever known. Nanc, it's been years and many miles since I've seen you but please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and the kids.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. May you find comfort and peace in your memories and the support and love of your  family and friends.

Hadn't met Tom, but if Nancy and Zack are any indication, a very fine man in deed. So sorry to have received this news. All possible sympathies. Stay strong.

Tom Merrill ~ wow.  It was impossible to be around you without a smile on my face.  There is so much I'd like to say to you.  You were one of the most generous people I've ever known.  If you had nothing, you'd give half of it away!  From camping in line at Red Butte so the rest of us could have good seats, to throwing a tub of ice cream across the slalom hill to me -- it was always about what you could do for others.  Your strength of will to overcome the struggles you faced was a powerful reminder of what LOVE can conquer.  Your continued love of N, Z, A, A ... shown through your eyes every single day will live on in their hearts forever.  You are loved always and remembered with a big smile.  Jules...

You and your loved ones are in our thoughts and prayers. May the Lord be your comfort and guide during this time of loss.
Sheila Clark and family

On Tuesday afternoon, Duane and I went duck hunting and we spoke a lot about Tom.  Duane took me to a spot west of the airport where he and Tom had hunted together.  He was "one of the good guys" and I'll miss him.  My thoughts and prayers are with you, Zach, Amelia, and Andy.

As a very close friend of Tom's, I know how much better of a person i am, and all the other's Tom touched with the experiences we shared together. Tom will be greatly missed his personality and love of life will be shared by others for ever.

Nanny my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your entire extended family. His energy and passion for life is an example for us all.

Condolences fromTehmi Kenny and family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and may you have peace and comfort at this very difficult time. Much love. K

Nanny my thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family. I will keep you all in my daily prayers!

Praying for you Nanny and the kids. Tom was a wonderful, gentle man. I remember how much he loved fishing with Derek when you visited. He had such a joy for life. A life cut way too short. I am thinking of you! It is such  a tremendous loss. You have wonderful family and friends. We want to help. Xoxo, Joanne Norcross

I will miss Tom's quick wit, his nick names for those he cared about, his kindness, and his sense of humor.  I will always remember the summer he stayed with our family in Alaska and helped my dad, Uncle Joe build a house.  Tom loved the outdoors and commuted to Deer Valley for many years in some cars that I didn't think would make it up the hills.  We love you Tom and will miss you.  Nancy and children you are all in our prayers.  Tessa Merrill Reinemer

Dearest Nancy,
I am so deeply sorry for you and your children's tremendous loss!  May all your happy times bring you comfort.

Things I'll miss about Tom:

His winking smile as he teased Amelia.
His winking smile as he teased me!
His tall body, bent toward Andy, showing him how something works.
His beaming pride when he talked about Zach in college.
Hearing Nancy talk about all the animals Tom kept bringing home.
How much he loved Nancy and loved when she was proud of him.

A good man, gone too soon. 

Peace and blessings,

Kirsten
