One of the nicest guys at Cove High. He always told me to smile and hold my head up anytime he saw me in the hallway. He will be missed!

Tank was such a good friend and had such a beautiful soul. We hung out a lot in school and growing up in our teen years.  Anytime there was a house party or  get togethers him and some friends would sing for us. I could listen to him sing all day long. My favorite was when they would do the Red light special and put their sun glasses on.  I am so glad I got to spend time with you when I came to visit each year and we hung out at the VFW.  You will truly be missed my friend. R.I.H Always loved and never forgotten. 

We love you Tank - one of the finest people I’ve known. Will miss you but will see you again. 

I didn’t personally know Tank, but my brother Joe Fisher new him and graduated high school with him. However, I did meet him once in 1998 when my brother Joe Fisher died. Tank as I remembered was the only friend from school who stop by to check on my family and I never forgot it. Tank will always have a place in my heart and will be missed. 

I was sad to hear the loss of school mate the first time I met  Tank was in Music Appreciation In the 7th grade he was so outgoing and friendly and funny I was like who is this guy.I did not  hangout with him that much but shared a couple classes with him occasionally run in to him but what I did know he always gave great advice and he was a sweetheart ,may he rest in peace with the Angels  he  will be missed.


I love you heart and your kindness ... I remember meeting you on my first day of work in dialysis... you were my first cannulation because you were an”easy stick” and “a nice patient”  little did I know we were going to bond and become so close.  You are the reason I found love again ...you are the reason I learned how to be thankful and live to the fullest .  You are the reason I believed in friends becoming family .... you are the reason I became an instant aunt to three little girls and two little boys .. you are the reason every new year there was so much music and laughter ... you are in my heart forever I LOVE YOU MR ARNOLD 

You were one of my first upper class-man friends when I started high school.  I always loved watching him play football.  He was always there to look out for me, and tell me the guy I was with was trouble. I will miss our late night conversations when I was upset and you were giving me advice and trying to cheer me up.  Until we meet again. 

We began this journey of dialysis together. You taught me how to deal with being chronically ill and still living life. I’m gonna miss you my friend. Prayers to you and your family especially those kids. Until we meet again RIP Tank. 

Oh there are so many memories. Tank was like my second big brother. I was 2 years old when we both moved into the neighborhood.  Couldn't ask for better next door family. He was always right there for me. Oh I can tell so many stories. But the ones that will always come to mind is his singing, our barefooted foot races. The boys playing street football. And when Mrs. Arnold would put him on restriction and we would talk at his window. Man I'm going to miss this big ol teddy bear. My heart is at peace knowing he is up their with his mom and dad and my parents. Until we meet again Tank, you will never be forgotten. 

Tank was great football player for the Copperas Cove Bulldogs! Tank lived down the road from me and my brother great memories. He will be missed Kris & Billy Bond &
Bond Family!

Heart of gold, hugs of safety... a gentle giant. The smile that would light the entire room. Thanks for the memories I'll treasure forever. The talk-times we shared I always knew, you truly cared. "Tank, Tank until we meet again; thank you for being such a dear friend. "Wild Horses, run wild and free. 💙

We worked at a little hot dog stand in 1998 when we first met. I remember him asking me if i had any single friends so i introduced him and my good friend/sis Sally. Loved working with him and being his friend. You'll be missed and your are so loved. Till we meet again my friend.

I remember when you came into Arby’s in Cove you were always so nice and friendly. May you Rest In Peace dear friend

You will be missed my sweet friend.  I will miss your voice and your laughter but most of all I will miss your big heart. ❤️
