Tom attended multiple schools during his youth. Tom worked many jobs and was always a phone call away when something wasn’t working or running quite right. To his family and friends, he was the go-to handy-man and car mechanic. Many times, he worked on things out of love for all of those he knew and even some he did not. Tom enjoyed working with his hands and had a passion for woodworking, crafting, and building things. Tom also had a love for cars. He loved to work on, drive, and even race those cars. You could be sure that Tom always had a story to tell when a car was brought up in a conversation.

Tom was the life of the party and loved to laugh and make others laugh. He was genuinely a one-of-a-kind person and as he would often say, he was truly a “god’s child”. Tom had a strong faith and did his best to honor his faith through action and love for all around him.
