Who knew that the last picture we took together would actually be just that. We grew up in the same community, rode the same school bus, ran up and down Florence Rd in and out of our families yards. He always had a warm smile. Tommy was always kind and loving. During his football career, we were very proud of him and to say "that's my cousin". Many of the male cousin wanted to be like him. My deepest sincere condolences to his wife, kids, mother, brothers and the rest of the family and friends. Take your rest Cuz, I Love You but God Loves you. I know your Dad and KK are glad to help welcome you in. God, please give this family a comfort that surpasses all understanding. Much Love & Prayers. Ruzalia, Florence Community

My condolences to Angie and his whole family. I am apart of his family from down south. Tommy was a very good natured person and came from a wonderful family, that we all loved and admired. I was shocked to hear of his passing, and hurt all at the same time. So take your rest, my dear cousin and we will meet up again on the other side. I am sending a special prayer out for his mom, cousin Mildred, we love you and we always will. Mike hang in there sweetie and cherish the fact that you still have your Mom. I have not had that luxury in 26 years, so hold tight to her. We love you all, sorrowfully submitted Makatt.❤️
