Thomas Ray Borst Jr.

Thomas proudly served his country in the United States Air Force and the National Guard Bureau. He was a man of dedication, integrity, and quiet strength who took great pride in serving others. Throughout his life, he touched countless lives across the nation with his kindness, generosity, and unwavering commitment to those around him.

In his free time, Thomas found joy in spending time in his garage, where he was always tinkering on a project, working on his farm, and traveling with the love of his life, his wife, Donna. He treasured the simple moments shared with family and friends and will be remembered for his warm heart, gentle spirit, and willingness to lend a helping hand.

He was preceded in death by his father, Thomas Ray Borst Sr.; his uncles, Jack Borst, Jim Borst, and Dave Borst; and his aunt, Wanda Borst.

Thomas is survived by his devoted wife, Donna Borst; his loving mother, Gabriella Borst; his brothers, Jim Borst (Angie) and Gary Borst (Marisa); his nieces and nephews; and many extended family members and dear friends who will cherish his memory.

Family and friends will meet on Tuesday, August 4, 2026, at East Tennessee Veterans Cemetery, 2200 E. Governor John Sevier Highway, Knoxville, TN, for a 10:00 AM Graveside Service.
