Tommy was a very special man, loving and full of compassion. He always made me feel like his sister instead of his sister-in-law. He liked to tease me when I was first in the family and that way I know he loved me. I will miss seeing him when I come to LR to visit but I know he will be in my heart always. Love you too, Donna and you know you are special to me also. Love, your sis, Cheryl

I was fortunate enough to get to know Tommy at the Deer Woods. He always made me feel so welcome and went out of his way to make sure I was comfotable and having fun. I could tell from the first time I met Tommy he was a gentle soul that cared deeply about everything around him. I will miss seeing him at the woods. God bless.

Donna Shirley and i were very sorry to hear of your recent loss. You have our deepest sympathy. We hope this poem by Amanda Brandly will help in some some way: Love Lives On "Those we love are never really lost to us.....we feel them in so many special ways; Through the friends they always cared about and dreams they left behind, in beauty that they added to our days, In words of wisdom we still carry with us and memories that will never be gone. Those we love are never really lost to us, for everywhere their special love lives on." May you find peace and comfort in the cherished memories of Tommy

Though we did not know Tommy, we have been touched by his life through Larry Tucker. We work with Larry Tucker who often asked us to pray for Tommy. Larry would give us updates on his illness, and tell us what a great guy Tommy was. It is apparent that Tommy left a deep impression on many peoples lives. We are very sorry for you loss, but we know you have been blessed by the life of such a good man.

Donna & Family, We were so sorry to hear about Tommy's death. We didn't really know Tommy, but we felt like we did from all the reports we received from Larry and Nancy. We have been praying for him for a long time and had him on our prayer chain at our church, Sacred Heart in Florissant. Larry gave us updates on him at least weekly. We were so excited to hear that he was receiving a new heart and were so sorry when we heard that things were not going well with it. We know Tommy is free from all his pain and suffering now and enjoying great bliss in Our Lord's presence. May God be with all your family and give you peace knowing that Tommy is at peace.

I already miss Tommy so much. I was very proud to have been able to call him my uncle. I'll never forget him, or how he always made a point to tease me whenever I was in AR, simply in an attempt to make me laugh (in which he ALWAYS succeeded!). I know he is looking down on us now, wearing that winning smile. He will always be in my heart and I consider myself very lucky to have been able to spend time with such a great and caring man, whose unconditional love never went unnoticed.

Donna and Sarah, i was in the middle of my high school orientation when i got the news, i immediantly broke down in tears. i started to remember all of the memories i have with the team and all of the skillis coach taught me. As time grew i began to love soccer and mainly because of my coach. Since we have moved to florida we have never found or will find a greater coach or person with his ability to teach kids. he taught me more about life than soccer.... not to give up, play fair, play with your heart, eat healthy, and most of all keep your head high. coach tom meant so much to me. as i grow i realize how he impacted my life. i sttill to this day have my green shirt that the team gave to me when i moved to florida i look at it every day and njust remember how close we all were. i know nothing i say can make your time better but i want you to know that i love you and coach will alwayz be in my thoughts. Sarah you keep going in life.. he is lookinnd down upon you and watching your every step. we are all here for you and will help you move on as much as possible. donna... keep your head held high. i know you are just devistated but God dosnt give you things he dosnt KNOW you CANT handle. i love you so much and you are ALL in my prayers.

Donna and family, It is hard for us to say how much Tom meant to us. His dedication to “his girls” and the time he gave coaching them is priceless. When he was no longer coaching I enjoyed my time on the sidelines with Tom immensely. We talked of hunting, the one that got away, shouted encouragement to the girls together, cheered when we scored and were disappointed when scored against. I always found myself looking up and down the field hoping that Tom would show up so I could stand with him to watch our kids play and spend time talking with him. Sorry if I hogged him at times... I remember well the last game I watched with him. He was not feeling well enough to get out of the van but I stood next to the van and am sure wore paint off the door talking to him. I don’t think we will ever stop missing Tom. The impression he left on us all is quite permanent and I am proud to say I knew the man. I do know that he will always be with us in our hearts and minds when we head to the field. The memories of Tom will be even stronger and I look forward to those times surrounded by the other parents who all love and respect Tom. Again, we have so much to thank Tom for and these words are simply not adequate enough to tell you how much he meant to us. Our hearts ache for you. We share in your sorrow. Tom truly was a one in a million guy. Mike, Vickie, Ashley and Jonathon Henning

Tommy was a wonderful man who did so much for so many people in a too brief lifetime. Tommy got a second chance at life with his first heart transplant and I believe that he made every effort to make everyday of that second chance special. We should all be so lucky and so wise to spend a second chance the way that Tommy did. HIs quiet ways in coaching and encouraging have touched so many childrens lives. So many of those children are now young men and young women who hopefully will remember the way that Tommy led them by example, and will do the same in their lifetimes, whether they ever get a second chance or not. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
