Mar 14, 1948 – Mar 28, 2020 (Age 72)
Tom Coburn was a Republican congressman from Oklahoma who served in the House of Representatives from 1995 to 2001 and in the Senate from 2005 until his retirement in 2015. For full obituary and coverage from Legacy.com, click here.
What motivates people like Sen. Coburn to excel in life? Maybe it was the school track meet back in 6th grade at Longfellow Elementary School. Tommy was in the final and expected to win. On that day, however, Dottie Hays outran us all and took the blue ribbon for 1st Place. Tommy grinned and allowed as how maybe he had underestimated the competition. Never again!

2012 US Senate campaign MO
Senator Coburn was one of two senators who came to Missouri to assist in my campaign for the US Senate in 2012. He was the ultimate gentleman and unrelenting warrior for freedom. He will forever be remembered as he inspired me as he did thousands of others.
