May Tommy Fly High In Paradise forever and ever. When I met Tommy, he definitely left an impression with how respectful and chill he was. He'll be missed but never forgotten. My deepest condolences to his loved ones and wife Tina.
Tina, my heart goes out to you and your family. You two were a perfect match. Please know that I am here for you. Love you and am thinking of you.
Tommy was the constant in everyone's lives, he was always the one we knew we could count on to be there, always so selfless, always putting everybody else first. I remember the night Kaidyn was born, he and Aunt Tina sat right there and didn't budge, he was so excited that he and Kaidyn shared a birthday. Then when Kaidyn had brain surgery, he and Aunt Tina sat right there and wouldn't budge until they knew he was out of surgery and doing good. He was always there for any of us, nieces, nephews, brother in laws, sister in laws, always in all ways, he and Aunt Tina were there. My heart is at peace knowing that he now resides with our Heavenly Father in paradise. I know he is watching over each and every one of us. I know he is saving us all a seat!
So sorry for his family loss. May healing set in for his family left behind. I use to work with him when we moved here and we were at US Calvary. He was always so kind.
Aunt Tina and Uncle Tommy have been two of the most godly, loving people I have ever known. They were there the day I was born—rushing to the hospital with hearts full of love—and they have been there for me ever since. Just this summer, they baptized me, a moment I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
There was no one with a heart like Uncle Tommy's. He loved deeply, gave selflessly, and spent 35 years devoted to his family and to the woman he loved most in the world. He was a steady, loving presence and the love he poured into his children will live on through them always.
While our hearts are broken, I take comfort in knowing Uncle Tommy is now whole and at peace—reunited in heaven with Jessica, with my dad, and with Papaw—surrounded by the love he gave so freely here on earth.
Aunt Tina, my heart aches with yours as you grieve your best friend and life partner. Please know how deeply you are loved, and how lasting Uncle Tommy's legacy will always be.
With all my love, Sissy
Aunt Tina we are so sorry for your loss. You and your husband were an inspiration to Gary and me. Your love for each other was so strong. Both of you have been so kind to us. Our prayers are with you! Love, Gary and Rita Muratalla.
Tommy, a beloved brother-in-law, is never truly gone—he lives on in the stories we share, the lessons he taught us, and the love he left behind. I am holding your family close in my thoughts and prayers.
Tommy, your life was truly a blessing, your memory a treasure to so many, you are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
