Thomas McCarthy

TOM WAS ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO HELPED LEAD ME TO THE LORD. I WOULD STOP BY HIS HOUSE AND HAVE COFFEE WHILE I WAS ON PATROL AS DEPUTY. HE WAS A GREAT PERSON AND FRIEND. HE IS SOMEONE YOU COULD COUNT ON FOR ADVICE WHEN YOU ASKED FOR IT AND BE SURE IT WAS FROM HIS HEART.

Our deepest condolences

I am so sorry to hear of Tom's passing. My sympathy to you, Debi. Pete and I shared so many good times with you both and I will always remember his great smile and sense of humor. It's hard to believe they're both gone. We honor their memory. Tom will be so very much missed.

To all of Tom's family and wife Debbi we send our condolences from Tennessee since we can not be there in person. He was a great man and a great Christian witness to my husband who at the time was with the K.C. Sheriffs Dept. He raised a great family and left great legacy. I am sure he is hearing Michael W. Smiths song "Angels Singing Welcome Home."

I had the privilege of working for a short time at the Kern County Fire Department he was a very kind man genuine man always smiling. May you now Rest with the angels.

I never saw Tom that he did not have that golden smile on his face. I look around my house and see so many things crafted by him in that famous garage and installed by him. What an honor it was to know him. He will be missed by so many.
