He was preceded in death by his parents, Alton and Judy Rochelle.
Tommy moved to River Gardens in New Braunfels in 2008. The time spent at River Gardens was the happiest in his life. He made many new friends, had an active social life, attended classes daily and participated in local activities. He was very proud to show family members the campus at River Gardens.
He was devoted to his mother and helped care for her during the last year of her life.
Tommy was a blessing to his family. The smallest gesture would make him smile. The highlight of each year was when he flew alone from San Antonio to Denver, Colorado, to be with the family for the Christmas holidays. The comment, ‘If you knew Bubba, you loved Bubba’ fit him perfectly.
He is survived by his sister and brother-in-law, Sandy and Wayne Arnett; niece and her husband, Tiffany and Ken Regan, from Colorado; nephew and his wife, Alton and Sarah Arnett, from Colorado. Great nephews, Cameron Arnett from Baytown; and Jacob Regan, from California. Great nieces, Kaitlyn and her husband Alex Killian, from Colorado; Lexi Vanderhill from Alabama; and Kelsie Vanderhill, from Colorado.
The family will welcome friends and family for visitation Saturday, December 15, 2018, at their home to celebrate Tommy’s life. You are welcome to share your thoughts and prayers for Tommy.
