This memorial website was created in memory of our beloved father and grandfather. 

Thomas will remain in our hearts forever, with his eternal wisdom, quick wit, sense of humor, and impeccable taste in music being passed down for generations to come.

Thomas is survived by his four children from his first marriage with Patricia; Joshua (42), Stefanie (40), Jennifer (38), and Patrick (36), and from his marriage with Rhonda, one step-child, Bryce. He is also survived by his 5 grandchildren; Nathaniel (19), Dillon (14), Riley (12), Samuel (6) and Abby (4), along with his four step-grandchildren, Mia, Liam, Rebecca, and Noah.

Thomas would not want a big fuss made over his passing, and so to honor his wishes, we have created this website in his memory. You are welcome to leave any comments with your fond memories and favorite things about him. Please share to friends and family so they have the opportunity to reminisce.

We will be sharing details of services to be held through FB events. Please be on the lookout for an invitation. Celebration of Life will be held Thursday, June 1st, 2023. Location and time will be announced soon.

Dad, I'll miss you so much. You taught me everything in life, our personalities are so similar. I got my love of music and movies from you, my sarcasm and dark humor. You taught me so much & I can never thank you enough. This is leaving a huge hole in our world and I hope you know now how much we all love you and we're never going to stop teaching the next generation everything you taught us, and we will never stop sharing your ghost stories and tales of the Mogollon Monster. I love you, Daddy. -Your Brown Eyed Girl

His Life
May 23, 2023
Thomas served in the US Army when he was 18, spending time overseas in Korea. 

After returning  to the states, he worked for a brief time in the 1980s as a cartoonist for The Arizona Republic.

He then moved on to become a skilled machinist working for Allied Signal until the late 90s, at which time, due to health issues, he went on disability. 

Thomas was a hard working man who always provided for his family and taught them the value of hard work and dedication.
