Dear Taxter Family, I am very saddened to hear this news. I actually just looked up Tom to see how he was doing. We met while I was an altar girl at Annunciation, and went on a few retreats together, and ended up being good friends. He actually came over to visit me while I was babysitting (which I later got in trouble for, lol) and dressed in a full blown suit and brought me a flower. He was quite the gentleman, and a really good guy. It’s 7 years later, but I am thinking of you all. 

I am on old classmate of Tom's and was hoping to re-connect with him when I learned of his passing. He was truly one of the kindest people I've ever known, always there for me and all of his friends. He had the gentlest and truest heart. I greatly valued our friendship. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Taxter family.

Maureen - my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, may God bless you all and guide you through this.

God bless you Tom. We promise to continue to keep an eye open on your grandfather.  Our prayers and energy are sent to your entire family and to your friends.  Godspeed. Peace - Teresa and joe Gaudio

My condolences to the Taxter family.  We worked together at CA and Tom's sense of humor and positive outlook always kept everyone in a great mood.  He always brought a smile to everyone's face.  I am sad that I will not have the opportunity to work with him and enjoy his friendship in the future.

To the Taxter Family,
We are deeply sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts and prayers of those who grew up and lived with you in Edgewood are with you at this time.

Many good thanksgivings were spent with my cousin.... Even know it has been a while I will miss my cousin.

Tom, I'll always cherish the great times we shared over the last few years. You were an all around great guy - we'll miss ya, bud.

" Tom and I met when he started at IBM. We instanly became good friends and had a blast working together. Tom was very special in the that fact that he always had a smile on his face and a can do attitiude. He was one of the smartest and most compasionate people I have ever known. I hope his family reads this and knows what a great son they reaised. He will be missed but never forgotten. R.I.P

Deepest sympathy and prayers to the Taxter Family. Rest in peace Tom.

Tom was a truly kind person who was always able to bring a smile to my face. I still can't believe I won't ever get to enjoy his company again. It is such a terrible loss and my prayers are with his family, friends, and the many other people he touched.

I got the pleasure of meeting Tom during the interview process with ServiceNow.  Our 1 hour quickly turned into 3 hours talking not only about work, but life outside of work.  I enjoyed working with him, and looked forward to doing some things outside of work, but unfortunately that time never happened.  He will be greatly missed by our team, and our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

I had the pleasure of working with Tom briefly at IBM. He was a sweet and caring person. My deepest sympathy go out  to his family and friends.

Tom was a great friend and a great person who always made me laugh and smile. His memory will live on in my heart, but I will always miss him dearly.

Tom's wonderful sense of humor, his sweetness and his sharp, smart spirit will be missed and loved forever. My thoughts are with his friends and loved ones.

My condolences go out to the Taxter family. Tom was a wonderful person with a contagious smile and spirit. I'm thankful through work that our paths crossed.

I feel so lucky to have been able to call Tom one of my dearest friends. I've never met a funnier, smarter, and more thoughtful person. He will be so missed. There are no words for the sorrow I feel for all of his family and friends.

Tom, too soon. You've been a good friend for years. I will miss our banter, candor and your quick wit. I have so many questions and I truly feel like this is a injustice to those who know you and those that never got the chance. Your passing is so saddening and I am very sorry for your loved ones.

I worked with Tom at ServiceNow as his account development rep between April and December of 2013. I really enjoyed working with him and learned a lot from him. He will be missed. My condolences to the family, Tom and Maureen.

Tom will definitely be missed by his Atlanta family.  I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and will miss speaking with him daily.  I am very sorry for your loss...

My condolences to the Taxter family.  I worked with Tom at ServiceNow.  He was a pleasure to work with and he projected a sincerity in his dealings with customers and employees alike.

I worked with Tom at IBM doing demos and he recruited me to ServiceNow.  I really enjoyed working with him!  I am very happy now and owe him for thinking of me and persisting that  I consider changing.  Tom had a very positive effect on my life and I will miss him!

Tom you will be missed. It was a pleasure to work alongside of you here in Atlanta.
