He never wanted anyone to go without a home or without love. He's now in his eternal home after many years of hope, prayer, love, and fellowship. II Timothy 4:7-8 states, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.” After fighting his fight and finishing his race, the Lord called on him and Tommy answered. He will be greatly missed by all of those who loved him and knew him. After his many years of faithfully worshipping God, caring for and encouraging others, growing as a person, loving and teaching all those around him, learning as much as he could, and of course fishing and flying, he's finally in his eternal abode. "Home is where the heart is" is a very popular saying and his heart is with God now. We know he’s in Heaven teaching kids how to play softball, how to fish and fly planes, and teaching others everything else he knows. Although he will be dearly missed, we know God has received a good one. Funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m. Saturday, November 11, 2017 at Central Church of Christ with Doug Downs and Matthew Bouldin to officiate. Interment will follow in Mt. View Cemetery. Visitation will be 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Friday and 10:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Saturday at High's. Memorial contributions may be made to McMinnville Special Games or Ronald McDonald House.
