Tom was such a nice guy.  I’m so sorry for his passing and your loss. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
May he Rest In Peace🙏🏻❤️
God bless his family.
With Deepest Sympathy,

Sending our thoughts and prayers from the Williams family….so very sorry for your loss. 

I’ve known Tommy since high school and he has always been bigger than life.  We were brothers-in-law for awhile and this story shows a side of Tom not many people got to see.  For whatever reason he took the kids to Disneyland, my two daughters and his boys (I don’t remember the exact year but they were in elementary school…. Not sure how old you were Shelby!) The girls were given some money to buy souvenirs and my older daughter Tory was very meticulous in choosing her Disney stuff.  On the last ride of the night, she lost her bag of goodies and was heartbroken.  Well Uncle Tommy couldn’t stand to see her sad and he disappeared….only to come back with a brand new bag of goodies to replace the one she lost.  
Tom is an all around good guy that would do just about anything for anybody….. friend or not.  Tommy’s already missed and the best we can do now is keep his memories with us.  I mean who else do you know that can schedule their own going away party!

Our condolences to Nick, Austin and Shelby and to his loving wife Yolie….. May you find comfort in the company of family and friends in this time of sadness.

No words can express how I feel about this, Thank you for everything and every time that you were there for me. Know that I never forgot.  To the late night conversations that we had in our own language that no one else will ever understand.  Give my grandma and grandpa a hug for me and take care of all of us that follow you just like you always have. I will try my best to keep it humble down here for you...

I love you Uncle Tommy
Michael

One of my oldest and dearest friends.  My whole family loved you, even though my mom scolded you a time or two in grade school, she loved you.  Thank you for the lifetime of wonderful memories, from the haunted house at Bassett Center to the Dairy Queen drive thru.  Glad I was with you in April on my birthday.  So happy I was able to see you, hold your hand, laugh and talk with you one last time.  Told you I loved you and kissed you goodbye.   RIP my friend.  You will be missed so much.  XXOO

Rest in Paradise, Tom. 
You lived larger than life and you will always be remembered by the joy and fun you brought to everyone’s lives. It was a blessing growing up so close by, and I am filled with happy memories throughout my childhood. I learned how to swim at your house, Shelby and I would play together and sing karaoke, I loved listening to music with you especially all of your Queen discographies, my best friend reminded me of the time we watched Ferris Bueller’s Day Off for the first time with you, you were the BEST cook— I will never forget when you made me fish tacos and shrimp queso because I’d never tried it before. The list goes on, and the memories I have of you will live on forever through me and throughout all of the lives you touched. 
Say Hi! to great grandma and great grandpa for me. We’ll all be together again soon. Love you Tom. 

To the strongest man I ever knew! You were larger than life in my eyes as I aspired to fill your shoes and make you proud! I will miss you dearly…rest in peace Dad

So sorry to hear of Tommy’s passing
He was one of the nicest people I have ever known. He always kept it real and always kept it fun.
