"We are truly heartbroken by Tom's passing and wish we could be there with you today to celebrate his life. I cherish the wonderful memories of him at the lake and Lago Mar....and remember what a sweet baby he was and how we'd take turns wanting to hold or play with him and Amanda both. I hope there is comfort in knowing he touched SO many during his short time here and will live on in the lives of those who receive his life-saving organs, their families, and all who will hear about our wonderful "little Tom" including Davis. Love and hugs to all! Suzy, Patrick, & Davis"

"Amy and Thos- Words cannot express how sad we are. Tom and your family were such a part of our family. So many good memories and thoughts. I recall Tom as a really little kid piloting his Boston Whaler around the shores of Wawassee and being amazed at how comfortable he was with the boat and the shore. We feel your pain and bleed for your loss."
