Thomas Mitchell Reilly, Sr. passed peacefully from this life on Sunday, February 27, 2022, with his devoted daughter Donna at his side comforting him.
He created a career in book binding and printing, retiring from Harris Press. Some of Tom’s fondest memories were made with family and friends at Percy Priest Lake. His passions were motorcycles, fast cars, and turning wrenches on anything that needed fixing or tinkering. If you asked him, he’d tell you, “Ain’t nothin’ but a thang.”
Tom leaves to remember him his best furry friend Peanut; his son Tommy Jr. (Jenn,) daughter Donna (Doug) Worley, grandson Taylor (Amanda) Bradberry, and great-granddaughter Everleigh Bradberry; brother Bill Reilly, sister Annie Martin, and brother-in-law Mike Barnard; along with dozens of nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, and friends, who can all attest to Tom being one-of-a-kind.
He was preceded in death by his sister Rose Barnard, sister-in-law Janice, brother-in-law Gene, mother Marjorie Covington Reilly, and father William Joseph Reilly.
The family requests that in lieu of flowers, any gifts of remembrance be made in the form of a donation to Avalon Hospice.
You are so right Tommy would always tell you like it was and say it ant nothing but a thing. I worked with Tommy at Harris press for 10 years and I always learned something new everyday. I will miss the man he made a big impression in my life and I will always thank him for that . I love you Tommy and will sure miss you brother.
