Thomas A. Boren

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Thomas "Tom" Aaron Boren on April 17, 2023. Born on July 7, 1941, in Littlefield, TX to William Walker Boren and Virgie Irene (Bishop) Boren; grandson to W.W Boren and Lily Walker Boren, Chelsey Bishop and Le Ora Bishop. Tom was a loving husband, father, and grandfather who will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

Tom is survived by his wife, Linda Boren, with whom he shared 57 wonderful years of marriage; his children Susan Boren and her spouse Deborah Stone, and Kristen Boren; his grandson Thomas Walker Boren; his extended family Vance Wilson and his son Ian Wilson. He was predeceased by his daughter Jennifer Boren-Coley.

In 1976, Tom embarked on an ambitious career path when he started an insurance company with his brother-in-law. Over time, the agency divided and Tom founded Western Insurance Agency and built a thriving and prosperous business; a testament to his hardworking and determined nature. This remarkable accomplishment is just one example of the difference Tom made in the lives of others throughout his lifetime.

Tom's legacy will be remembered as one of kindness and generosity, impacting those around him with warmth, compassion, and an unwavering willingness to help others. His memory will live on in the hearts of the many people who had the privilege of knowing and loving him.

Crawford-Bowers Funeral Home in Copperas Cove is managing Tom’s final disposition, including the interment of his ashes at Smith Cemetery. While there will be no viewing or service, we encourage those who knew and loved Tom to honor his memory with a private memorial in a way that is personally meaningful.

As we mourn the loss of Tom, we find solace in celebrating his life and the precious moments we shared with him. His memory will continue to inspire and guide us in the years to come.
