Tom had one of the biggest hearts. He was a constant advocate for anyone who knew him and was a loyal companion to anyone lucky enough to call him friend. Tom was part of a Christian rock band that, at an early age, worked to spread the love of God and his message to the world. Tom’s faith was something that he would share freely.
