THOMAS PARHAM Obituary


THOMAS FLETCHER PARHAM, JR. "Tommy"  
Departed this life on the evening of Tuesday, June 8, 2021 at the age of 42 after a valiant battle with brain cancer. Born on August 13, 1978, he was the only son of Thomas Fletcher Parham, Sr. and Joyce Ann Pugh Parham of Beckley, West Virginia. In Beckley, he graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School, then matriculated at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia where he received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Management of Information Systems. Tommy was a successful entrepreneur and cybersecurity professional as the Founder and CEO of ATO Consulting. In 2001, Tommy moved to Washington DC where he met his loving bride and best friend Angela Kerri Allen Parham, and they married on August 27, 2005. Together they brought three beautiful daughters into the world - Olivia Grace (11), Sophia Dominique (8), and Sage Evelyn (7) - and they were Tommy's pride and joy. He worked tirelessly to ensure Angela and his girls were happy, healthy, supported and empowered every day until his last breath. Tommy was a proud member of the Alfred Street Baptist Church and cherished his brothers in the Alexandria, Virginia Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. He was also active in the Father's Auxiliary of the Northern Virginia Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, and was a Charter Member of the Prince William County Chamber of Commerce. A private memorial service will be held for Tommy at Alfred Street Baptist Church on the afternoon of Wednesday, June 23, 2021.
