To Tommy Walker’s Family, I just recently learned of Tommy’s passing. I had no idea he was not still here with us all. I am so very sorry for your loss. Tommy and the Budget Lube crew took such great care of so many of us over the years. He was always kind and had a great attitude. I know his mates there are also greatly feeling his loss. Praying for all those hurting over Tommy’s way too early departure. 

I only knew Tommy for a few years. He was a really good guy. Back when I was homeless over by where he worked at. I would always be over at the shop. You know we would always mess with each other. He was really a good friend. He helped me out a lot and he would always tell me when I messed up at times. He would always missed by everyone. R.I.P. Tommy

When we were little Tommy was always impressing us with his stunts and abilities. He was naturally athletic and always inspired me to be just as capable. He set the bar and I strived to be like him. In a world with no adult role models, he was my hero. He used to do handstands on balance beams and backflips off the back of trucks. He inspired me to be tougher and stronger and one day, I was gonna get him down when we wrestled - but I never could and he never lost. 
There were times he helped me see where I was wrong and it was because of him and only him, that I changed myself to be a better person, in my formidable teenage years and into our early 20s. 
But the most amazing thing about him was his power to love, provide for, and care for others.  He was a force to be reckoned with to his enemies, but in many ways he was more selfless and a better person than me and anyone else I knew - raising and loving step kids like his own, giving ALL his kids and family what they needed, giving so much of himself to friends and family - even to some that I felt didn’t deserve it. He would give the shirt off his back, if someone needed it more than him.  He remained loyal to his duties and responsibilities. He took the pain and remained giving, demonstrating impressive spiritual strength and abilities that were also just as inspiring.
 As grown ups in our forties, he would remind me to look at what I DO have, not at what I don’t have, by saying I’m “too blessed to be stressed.” I’ll keep it always along with all the good memories and inspiration. RIP Tommy. See you on the other side. 

I have been lost for words for several days now trying to understand how you could have been taken so soon. For 37 years, you have been family to, and for me. I will never forget the many years of memories we share together, nor the love that has been felt and shared. 

Not many people can claim the experiences you and I shared together. We've laughed, we cried, we've fought, we've supported each other together so, until we meet again... I love you Brother, now and forever!

I will forever be grateful for being able to meet Tommy and have him in our life’s. He was an amazing friend to us all, he was the kind of man who would drop everything to being there for the ones he loved, he may be called the mad midget but I assure you he was always full of laughter and always smiling. 
I take this moment to thank you Tommy for all you did for me and my mom, we are truly  devastated by your passing, this one really hit hard, you were an amazing man, friend and father. I’m sorry this is how things happened you didn’t deserve any of this, your time on earth was taken too soon.. sitting here writing this still doesn’t feel right or real.. may you Rest In Peace, we love you always 

       I miss you so much,and beyond heartbroken.
                                           So unfair. 

Tommy was the most giving and helpful person I have known. Tommy worked on my entire family’s cars. He was an awesome and amazing mechanic and friend. Never left us high and dry. Always made time to come and work on our cars. I was his florist when he needed some flowers. We will all miss you Tommy there is no replacement for you.  Hard working man everyday 7 days a week most of the time. But did like his Friday’s off. Loved his Family, Friends, Harley and all his trucks.  Loved by all and missed by everyone. We love you Tommy you life was too short but you lived it well.  

This isn't fair, you're not supposed to be gone. You're supposed to be here.. you were one of the craziest MF I had ever met, but the loyalist MF too.. you're not supposed to be gone. Jimmy,Pam, and our goons miss you..
💔Taken Too Soon 💔

Even though we had our difference s I must say that nobody  that was as good of a man as he was deserves something like this especially from someone he raised.,but regardless of the situation I will always remember his arrogant way about himself. He lived every day to the fullest and was one of the most caring and loving people that I ever knew. You are missed and loved by many already.

Tommy, your sister brought me home as a stray 35 years ago and shared with me a profound understanding of unconditional love by bringing me into your family. Years went by you were there, you signed witness at my marriage, you were there with me during the divorce, you helped through some of the darkest moments in my life and celebrated the brightest of days with me and never let me feel alone when I thought that I was.  My memories of the stupid fights we had as teenagers, the pranks you would pull and just your over all joy for life  will always be with me. This wasn’t  supposed to be this way, I can’t imagine not having you there to tell me when I need to get my head out of  my (well you know ). You were there for me in times when I felt so lost and alone I know I wouldn’t of made it through without your unconditional love as only a brother can give. You were there for me, I just knew you would always  be there and now your gone, your words of wisdom and your smart remarks that always put a smile on anyone’s face, gone, but NEVER EVER FORGOTTEN BROTHER!!   ALWAYS IN MY HEART BROTHER!!!! 


We were not blood family, but for 28 years on this earth you've always been uncle Tommy. You've always been there for me, my sister, mother and father. Helping us with hard times and sharing the good ones with us. I have so many memories of you having good times. You always gave me words of encouragement and positivity to help me threw life and hard times. You were always working with my dad when I visited at the shop and it was always a fun visit full of laughter and smiles. You were always joking and singing and having a good time even with the customers and ill never forget that whistling. everytime you worked on my car or a freind of mines car you would never ever accept a payment even if I begged and tried you wouldn't, a great man who looked out for his people no matter what the situation is. You where taken too early from us but the memories of uncle Tommy will stick with me forever love you uncle Tommy 

Words will never be enough. Goodbyes hurt the most when the story was not finished . I will miss your laugh , your whistles , your jokes and you had many , your phone calls , your words of encouragement when I was down on life . You have been a huge part of my life and the boys for 25 years . I wake up everyday now wondering how life can possibly go on without you in it . This wasn’t how you were suppose to go , this isn’t goodbye Tommy , I know I will see you on the other side and I will be received with open arms . You are finally with your parents whom you missed so dearly . Say hello to Kevin and Dusty 💔 I love you brother forever and always .
