Tommy Christopher "TJ" Bice

Tommy Christopher "TJ" was born on May 12, 1984 to Tommy Wayne Bice and Christina Kokemoor Kocman in Hearne, Texas.

TJ as he was affectionately known, loved to be outdoors hunting or by the water with a fishing pole in his hands. His greatest accomplishment was his son Levi, who he adored. He enjoyed cooking, always checking himself out in a mirror, and most of all showing off his dance moves that he knew would have everyone laughing. His beautiful smile and laugh, were so contagious that people gravitated toward him. He had the biggest heart and cared so deeply, he tried his hardest to help in any way that he could.

His love was always unconditional. TJ had his struggles, but he would fight every day to live life to the fullest.

Our family is grateful to know that TJ is finally at peace.

TJ is preceded in death by his uncle, Bobby Lynn Bice; grandfathers, Donald Ervin Kokemoor and Bobby Lee Bice; grandmothers, Margaret Anne Bagget, Bera "Ann" Christiansen and Sandra Sue Smith; nephew, Gunner Wayne Kleiber who are with him now on his journey.
