Tom was involved in his church’s annual community carnival and was known as an accomplished IT professional, admired for his brilliance and problem-solving skills. Beyond his professional life, he enjoyed spending time outdoors, camping, fishing, and playing video games.

Tom was proud to serve his country in the United States Marines and later in the Texas State Guard. He never hesitated to help a friend in need.

He will be remembered for his generosity and intelligence. He never missed the opportunity to crack a joke or come back with a witty comment and that will be sorely missed. His love for his family and friends was unwavering.
