Ken Tomlinson

I am just learning of Ken's passing. We spent many years together while in Atlanta as very close friends. One of the most kind, generous and thoughtful souls I have ever met. This news hurts my heart but I know he is at peace and rejoicing with his dad, whom he missed very much!! I love you, Ken.

My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to Ken's family. I worked with Ken for several 5 years at Macy's. Ken was a tremendous asset to my team and Macys. Besides his strong technical skills, Ken was very thoughtful, helpful, and keen sense of humor. His memories will live on. May God continue to bless you all at this very difficult time.

I knew Ken when I taught at Stone Mountain Christian School and attended church at Stone Mountain Baptist Tabernacle. We were about the same age and I spent a good deal of time with Ken and his family. He sincerely loved his family. Our prayers will be with each of you.

Ken, you were truly a good person to me and I'm sure to all you meet.

My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to the Tomlinson family. I worked with Ken for several years at Macy's and he was among my favorite people. He was kind, smart, funny, and always willing to help. He is greatly missed. May God bless you all at this very difficult time.

Prayers and condolences to Ken’s family, friends and loved ones. I had the pleasure of working with Ken at Macys for years as well. He touched so many lives there. For a short time, I was able to sit across from him and we had some great conversations. We liked talking about tennis and would be talking about the Australian Open now. He was a great guy and always was so helpful and brought a smile to my face. He is and always will be missed by many.

Like others, I worked with him for 17 years, Ken was a mentor to me at Macy's as well, especially the recent 3 years we are on same team. He was one of the peole I would aways go to get help from. He was not only an extremely knowledgeable person but also he was alwasy willing to help with all of his power. He was a person who I always could depends on.

Praying for you Bro.Tim sorry to hear about your loss. God will be with you. Ray & Carolyn Jones

Ken was one of the bravest men I knew. I loved working with him at Macys. Much love to his family.

Like others, I worked with Ken for over 20 years while at Macy's. Ken was patient, thoughtful, wise and had a clear vision of what the right way of doing work.
He consistently led by example and guided me when I made errors in a graceful manner to be both more accurate and efficient.
Ken took ownership for making sure the systems were designed to run efficiently and provided tuning to ensure system capacity.
For much of the time I worked with Ken, He shared life at home with a cat. The companionship they shared was clear. As others have said Ken was skilled, compassionate, faithful, kind and generous. He freely shared his opinion on what were poor decisions to improve the product that was being designed.
My prayers go out to his family and loved ones for their loss.

When I began work at Macy’s in 1995, Ken was one of my very first friends. He had a unique combination of kindness, intelligence and humor. He was a brilliant man who always made time to help in any situation. I considered it my privilege to be his friend, and I will miss him greatly. Prayers of peace for his unique and gentle soul.

We are praying for you and trusting the Lord for His strength.

So many great memories. Still at a loss for words. I love all of y'all and I wanted to be there so bad. I'm praying for the Lord to give peace and comfort.

Sending condolences and prayers to Ken’s family and friends.

Ken and I have been friends ever since I started with Macys. Working on the same team, we became fast friends. His kind eyes and warm heart are the two things that I will remember the most.well, along with his sense of humor!

Tim and Angie, Judy and I are so sorry to hear about your brother Ken. Our prayers go out to God on behalf of you and all the family during this sad time.

Praying for the Tomlinson family for the loss of Ken. I taught Ken at SMCS and went to church with the family. Ken was a bright young man. I always enjoyed our conversations. Ken had a great sense of humor. Ken was a good leader in the classroom.

We are praying for your deep loss. May God comfort each one of you, at this time. Love you all.

Ken was the generous, kindhearted, and knowledgeable person who taught me a lot at Macy’s. He was thoughtful and he could analyze the issue in the crisis situation. Also, he had such a sweetheart like a kid. When I had to bring my shy toddler daughter to office, Ken spent time with her at his desk, talking and playing together. Another time, Ken shared his cheese dip with her at office group dinner. She is older now, but she always asks me his wellbeing when we have Cheese Dip. He was the amazing coworker and friend who will be missed.

Although I can’t be present please accept my condolences and know that we are praying for each of you to be strong at this time.

My condolences and prayers to the Tomlinson family. Ken will truly be missed. We worked together at Macy's and I've always found him to be an extremely knowledgeable person who was always willing to help. I just loved his dry sense of humor and usually left his presence with a smile.

I was heartbroken to hear about Ken this morning. We worked in the same area and team at Macy's for 20+ years. Ken was truly one of the smartest people I have ever known. His lines of code were magic. If there was ever a way to do something, Ken could figure it out when other couldn't. Whenever the business had a big system need, Ken was one of the people I would always go see and get his feedback and insights. He used to drink Moutain Dew by the case and then he switched to water. He once told me he knew when I was coming down the hall by the way I walked. LOL Ken will be missed! You're a kind soul. Sending love out to all who knew how special Ken is. RIP

I both went to high school with Ken and worked with him at Macy's. He was always a source of knowledge and if he didn't know the answer, he would find it for you. I know that Macy's Technology will miss him and Macy's Supply Chain will as well. He was a great business partner. My deepest sympathy goes out to the family. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

I am sorry to hear about Ken. I worked with him for over 20 years. He was a great source of knowledge and always ready to help when he could. He will be missed.

I had the privilege of teaching Ken in Junior and Senior High School at SMCS. Attended church with him as well at Stone Mtn Baptist Tabernacle. He also played on my JV Baseball Team. And I worked with him during the summers in maintaining the school grounds at SMCS. I feel like I got to know Ken well. We loved to kid one another as well as our summertime boss, Don Barnard. There are lots of good memories of those days long ago. Ken was one of my favorite students too! Guy had a great mind. Kind heart. Very level-headed young man. And he was a very deep thinker. Ken had the ability to excel at pretty much anything he touched. I am certain he made his mark in his work (in technology) as he had a great work ethic I was very disappointed that I never had the opportunity to connect with him as an adult. It saddens me to hear of his passing. I know his family and friends will miss him. Ken was good guy with a big heart, soft spoken manner, and easy smile. Heaven is a better place with Ken on the grounds! Rest in Peace Ken. You will not be forgotten!

Sending my heartfelt condolences to the Tomlinson Family! I had the pleasure of working with Ken at Macy's where his brilliant light was a constant in all that he did!

Sincerely,
Anthony Freeman

My condolences to Ken's Family and Loved Ones. He was a positive influence in any situation at Macy*s Technology. He was the best of the best technically and was also willing to share his immense knowledge and skills with anyone even if not part of his assigned responsibilities. His leadership, work ethic, wit and personality will be missed both professionally and personally.

My prayers go out to the Tomlinson Family. I worked with Ken at Macy’s for many years. May the Lord comfort you during this time.

Rest in peace Ken.

I worked on the same team with Ken at Macy's for about a year and a half. He was always so patient and kind, and he dealt with some challenging times with grace. He was a truly brilliant person who is missed. My condolences for the family.

Ken was the most patient, generous, kindhearted person I ever met along my professional journey. Working with him over the years at Macys he taught me so much about life, how to navigate these waters of corporate America and how to just be a good person. For that Ken I thank you brother you will surely be missed.
God Bless my brother Im sure we will meet again

My condolences to the Tomlinson Family. I worked with Ken at Macy's Systems & Technology. May the Lord continue to strengthen and comfort your family through this challenging time.

I worked with Ken at Macy's and I never ceased to be amazed at all he knew, how well he did his job, and how much he contributed. He was a real pleasure to work with and will be deeply missed. My prayers for healing and peace go out to your family.

Ken was a mentor to me at Macy's. His dedication to doing a job right combined with his irreverent wit and sarcasm helped me cope with corporate bureaucracy while still accomplishing my work without going crazy. He was always a voice for excellence in the face of mediocrity and compromise. Rest well, Ken, and thanks.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

So sorry for your loss! Please let me know if there is anything I can do. We are praying for the family

Dear Carolyn, Tim, Holly,. Christina: I am so sorry for the loss of your son and brother, Ken. I remember teaching him in Advanced Math at SMCS. He was smart, kind and I also appreciated his sense of humor. May the Lord give you the peace that passes all understanding.
