Thomas Hammond passed away Saturday, April 11, 2026 after a short battle with cancer.
His presence is already missed beyond measure by those who love him. He was a supportive and loving husband, great dad, and our world's best Pop-Pop.
Tom proudly served in the Navy for 4 years right out of high school. He started his career in the I.T. Department at D.O.T. He then spent just over 16 years at The Village of Gainesville and held different positions as he grew professionally. He began there in the I.T. Department, moved to Maintenance Supervisor and then to his most proud and effective role as Senior Director of Operations. Tom worked with many great people and treasured his time there. He loved making a difference in the lives of the residents, some of which became close friends. He left The Village and took a position at Jones Edmunds & Associates not long before his diagnosis. His plan was to work a few years in their I.T. Department until retirement. He felt lucky to have started his career and ended it alongside a very dear friend.
Tom was born to Jerry Hammond and Barbara Luke on October 15, 1968. Both of which predecease him. He leaves behind his wife, Rebecca Hammond, daughters Tori Geiger (Brandon), Shelbi Hammond (Cory), stepsons Benjamin Fitzgerald (Tori), and Cory Greene, his grandchildren Zayne, Adaline, and Eloise. He loved being their Pop-Pop and thought that was the best title he could hold. He also leaves behind Melonie Morris Kent, the mother of his girls, his brother Jeff Hammond (Kara), sisters Nicole and Crystal, many nieces and nephews and in-laws that loved him deeply.
The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Community Hospice & Palliative Care for their wonderful care and support during this difficult time. We will be eternally grateful to each of the staff members that touched our lives. We would also like to thank our friends that offered support during this time.
A private celebration of life will be held in October.
