Condolences to the family of "Coach" Tom Nevers, a kind and giving individual. Coach was a man who had the ability to motivate, inspire, and guide his students to a higher level of performance than we ever thought we were capable of achieving. His gifts sustained us beyond school into our future lives. For this, we are forever thankful to you, Mr. Tom Nevers. May you rest in peace.

I never had the opportunity to meet "OGO", but reading about him tells me he sounds like a wonderful person. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mr. Tom Nevers will always be fondly and respectfully remembered by me for the hours he spent coaching our little league team with his son Tommy. If ever there was a coach/teacher that I would have hoped to emulate that role model was Mr. Nevers. What a man, coach, teacher and dad for the Nevers family. God Bless all the Nevers, my heartfelt prayers for grace and peace during this time. Jeff Vagell

Tom & Nevers family, sorry to hear of your loss! Great family man & leader! Sincerely, Curt Minert
