Searching for something random and Tommy's page was listed. I thought... Tommy would call me out for not posting on his page. Wonderful memories with Tommy at JC Penney - Porter Square and a forever friend. He was one of the people who took care of us at the store. He helped us to learn, backed us up and encouraged those of us who were entering the workforce. Tommy Lokey... a good guy, a great man! I will remember you always.

I had the priveledge of working with Tommy in the shoe department and having him as a cousin-in-law. I can still remember when he came up to me at JcPenney and said that he was dating my cousin.Teresa's love was for Tommy was like no other. She always had a glow about her when they were together. Tommy was at the hospital when I had my sweet Rachael 15yrs ago. he held her and rocked her like a grandpa. His death took us by suprise since he is family--I have always been close to Teresa and him. We mourn with you and yet we celebrate with you knowing that he is with our Lord Jesus hurting no more. We send our love to you Teresa and the kids.

Tommy was a wonderful person and had a personality only he could pull off. He always made it a better day by just being around. My heart goes out to Teresa and his family. He will be greatly missed.

Tommy was my "Diddy" and he will always hold a special place in my heart. He was my best friend. He taught me how to love and how to live. Rather than getting wrapped up in the worldly activity that is based on the frenzies and impulses of human ambition, he focused his time and energy making a valid contribution to the lives of his children and family. Our memories are many and I especially loved his vitality and energy.
We always joked and laughed that he wanted two boys, but got two girls, so he raised us learning to love the activities that he loved. We love to fish, hunt, boat and watch football. He did get his boys, through the marriage of his precious wife Teresa and through his grandchildren. His impact on their lives has been dramatic. I love watching him in my son, Conner, who was named after my father due to the respect and adoration that I had for him.
In his final days, we were all able to spend a significant amount of time with him recounting and recalling all of our treasured memories. We laughed, and cried, and laughed, and cried. Sometimes we laughed so much that we cried. He knew how much we loved him and the strong influences that he had on the people that we are today. We saw how much he truly loved his wife and saw her reach out and take care of him in beautiful and amazing ways. We watched the grandchildren and saw "Diddy" in them. Watching them run and play and carrying on the legacy of our father was the most beautiful sight in the entire universe. God blessed us with this beauty as we spent our final moments of time with "Diddy".
We talked much about his eternal destination and he knew where he was going when it was his time to die. He loved Jesus and firmly believed that he saved us by dying on the cross. I feel a deep sense of security with that knowledge. My "Diddy" loved Jesus and looked forward to being with him in heaven. I know that he saw beautiful visions in his death. He has seen God himself, sitting on his throne in heaven. He is reunited with his brother, parents and many others that he loved deeply. I know that he is in a better place with no more pain, regret or tears. That brings me much comfort, although I miss him terribly.

Tommy Lokey is a prominent member of my JCPenney family. Myself as well as two of my children had the wonderful opportunity to get to know Tommy well during the time we worked either at JCPenney’s Porter Square location or during his days in the shoe department at the Wiregrass Commons location. We just spent an evening sharing so many good memories about Tommy all of which make us smile! He definitely holds a permanent spot in our hearts. Tommy was a genuine person, a unique man, and if you knew him, you understand what I mean when I say a character in the best sense of the word. I will greatly miss him and will never forget him. We Love you Tommy!
