In Loving Memory

Tom was a proud Navy veteran, and loyal friend who will be deeply missed by all who knew him. He is survived by his children, Jeremy and Mandy, and his stepdaughter, Amy Jones, all of Memphis, Tennessee; immediate family, and siblings Mel and Ron; and his parents Geneva and Melvin and brother Bobby who preceded him in death.

Tom had a deep love for animals, especially his beloved dog, Beau, and found great joy in caring for the animals on the farm. He was happiest outdoors, surrounded by nature, good friends, and the simple things he loved most.

He also enjoyed owning firearms and took pride in teaching others about firearm safety and marksmanship. Whether spending time with close friends, sharing stories, or caring for animals, he lived life with quiet strength, humor, and heart. He will be deeply missed.

You are encouraged to share a memory of Tom and extend your condolences to his family by visiting his memorial page and guestbook at www.companionfunerals.com. Companion Funeral Home of Athens and the Cody family are honored to assist with these arrangements.
