I remember him talking to our Deaf students.  He was always helpful to the teachers

Tommy was my grandfather.. I think it hit me worse when he passed because I was not there to see him.. When my siblings and I went to see him when we were younger, he would always give us peanuts to snack on. Every birthday he would show up and make everyone's day. I will forever miss him.. Rest Easy Grandpa..

Tommy Owen's is my grandfather and I'm his only granddaughter. I love and miss him so much. I'm going to miss going to see him and talk to him. He used to have a lot of books and  he would let me go pick 1 or 2 out to take home. He encouraged me to stay in school and some days he was the only one I wanted to see. I'm going to miss him but I know he is in a better place looking down on everyone he loves.

Regardless of the cares or time of the day, the circumstances, the surroundings, Tommy always wore a smile, when in our presence!  We are convinced that even though he was small in stature here, he was and now is large in the Kingdom of Heaven!  It was our honor and privilege to have known him and to have been his friend.

I taught at Cunningham for 12 years. Mr. Tommy always had the biggest smile and helped me with whatever I needed in my room. I remember one year I had an especially stubborn old pencil sharpener that he worked on diligently till it was like a new one.  To see him interact with the kids would make us all smile.  We all loved Mr. Tommy.  He surely made the world a better place.  My condolences to his family.

I am 40 years old and I remember Tommy from my years at Cunningham Elementary. He was the kindest man. He always had a smile for every student. He will be greatly missed but forever remembered.

Tommy came to my Barbershop 💈 for haircuts I always enjoyed him coming in he had a kind soul and we enjoyed talking bout the Cowboys I am also a Cowboy Fan last time he come in was in February 2020 he was with his sister and was so happy gave me a hug before he left and he was happy to be going to Hobby Lobby with his sister. My prayers and sincere condolences to his family RIP Tommy Fly High my friend  this pic I have enclosed is Tommy right after I gave him a haircut 

Everyone that met Tommy loved him.  He always had a smile on his face.  All the kids at Cunningham respected him and loved him.  He is in God's presence rejoicing.  ❤️🙏❤️🙏   

My sister, brother, and I attended school at Cunningham from 1966-1974, and my mother, Winona Hoagland, was the Secretary there for many years.  Our family knew and loved Mr. Tommy Owens.  In addition to his amazing work ethic and willingness to shine at Cunningham, we employed Tommy several times to do some intricate furniture repair at our home.  He fixed a couple of recliners we honestly thought couldn't be saved. This world is surely poorer without Tommy, but we will always remember his kind heart and wonderful infectious smile.

Tommy was always willing to help me.  He loved my kids and loved to talk to them in sign.  The world will not be the same without him

It is with sadness that I read of Tommy's passing. In my 26 years at Cunningham I remember his hard work and ready smile.  His smile would always brighten your day and he was always willing to help when needed.
