Tommy was a member of Life Church where he served on the Board of Elders, as an usher, and as a volunteer in children’s ministry. He formerly taught Sunday School at Bird’s Creek Baptist Church, Wisner First Baptist Church, and Lone Cedar Baptist Church. Tommy valued studying the Word and talking with others about Jesus. His basketball talent earned him a college scholarship, after which he worked in the oil field before returning home to his passion as a Performance Horse Trainer. He could bring the best out of even the wildest of horses. He was an avid storyteller, hunter, fisherman and tie-down calf roper. His closest friends say that Tommy took Jesus along for all those activities. He prioritized his routine visits with his friends at Plantation Manor Nursing Center for a game of dominoes, where he always kept score and normally won. He enjoyed cooking for his family and friends and was “famous” for his fried fish and his cowboy beans, cooked in cast iron over an open fire on the cook set he made by hand.
