RIP Tom Dempsey ✝
Growing up, I saw your amazing field goal on live tv. Abba Father God/Christ his Son our Savior and the Lord Holy Spirit has a way to frustrate the proud in heart, like all the people who are not disabled . The Almighty used you, and your foot disability for his Holy mighty purposes too show the non disabled a humbling lesson. As a real young young youth, and an amazing thing happened on my end while watching the tv. The Holy Spirit communicated to me in my mind that...

The man turned a disability into a NFL contract, not to many can do that !! RIP

He was a sweet and wonderful neighbor. He will always be on our minds as he has been and forever in our hearts!

We were blessed to spend Thanksgiving with Tom and his lovely family. My son Paul and teammates from Mike Miley participated in the Turkey Bowl in Gatlinburg with Coach Tom for two of them. He was great with the boys and wonderful person. He will be surely missed.

My condolences to the Dempsey family. May God provide comfort and strength to your family today, tomorrow, and always.

What an inspiration to us all. My condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in eternal peace.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
