John "Tommy" Cupples Jr.

I am so sorry for your loss . Although your hearts are filled with pain and sorrow , my prayer is that you gain comfort and hope from God's promise to reunite us with loved ones on the earth , never having to say goodbye again . For Jesus will make this a problem-free paradise that his Father intended it to be . I have gained comfort and strength from this promise , may your family do the same .

We did not know. God bless you.

Tommy you will be missed by you family and friends. You had such a loving kind heart. And loved to laugh and make other laugh as well. You will always be loved and missed
Friends are friends forever if the Lords the Lord of them. Though 73rd hard to let you go in the fathers had we know. But a life time not too long to live as friends. Love you my friend

To my friends Patty and Tommy: Can't imagine the pain of losing a child. No words are sufficient. It must be some comfort to read all the kind words of those who loved your son and held him dear. And a special comfort to know that he rests in the arms of our Lord and Savior. Just know I saw this and am praying for you and your family. Karen Mack Harris AHS Class of 1968.

Thanks for being my friend John. You made it much easier for me to be at work, and I was blessed to know you.

Tommy your suffering finally came to an end the moment God took your spiritual hand and led you into Heaven Can't wait for my time you would sometimes call and we could go on forever I thank you for that will also never forget when Mattchew and I told you Van Halen was in a plane crash You took that one to heart and I almost got killed when you found out not true rest in peace my old Outpost buddy

Our Condolences, Patti and Tom. We were shocked to hear about Tom but Vic kept us informed when he was sick. He is in a better place now and our thoughts andprayers are with you.

Tommy, I'm glad you got to see Jesus and were ushered into glory. No more pain, no more doubt, no more worry. You fought the good fight, ran the race well and now, YOU ARE HOME!

Tommy, I remember the days we use to work together at Gingiss and you always had a smile on your face. I'm glad we were able to reconnect through FB and you definitely gave me some encouraging words when I was battling cancer and I will never forget that, thank you. RIP my friend until we meet again.

Diane and I are praying for you family during this time of loss Pattie! Praise God "to be absent from the body is to Present with the Lord". We will see Tommy again!

Jim & Diane Brown

Our heart is broken for the family. Tommy was a sweet, kindhearted sort of fellow. We will be praying for God to wrap His loving arms around his family and fill them with mercy and peace.

Tommy, that call from you a year and a half ago meant so much to me. I loved hearing from you after all those years ago at Gunn Junior High. Yes, that trip to Washington D. C. was special indeed. Thinking of you as a young teenager playing in my band gives me a great big smile, and the time we had together a year ago when you were in the hospital was even more meaningful. Only this time I played for you. You asked for me to play a special hymn for you when this time came: "It is well with my Soul". I will be unable to come to the service since I am en route to West Virginia. Instead I'll play that hymn for you in Tennessee. As you told me earlier you'll be listening from heaven, so it doesn't really matter where I am.

You will always be in my memory. You were indeed a very special person, warm and caring, funny and engaging, interested in so many things. I'm glad you were a part of my life.

Tommy, I will miss you my friend. We shared a lot of laughs together. I smile when I hear your name.

We are so sorry for your loss. We are praying for you and the family

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I'm not sure if we have ever met, but we are family. It makes my heart ache that your son passed at such a young age.

Praying for the family. My heart breaks for you. I hope you find peace in comfort.

Tommy, I know you are in a better place, smiling down at us. I'll miss your laughter and jokes. I will always think of you when I hear certain songs on the radio that remind me of those high school days. I'll always think of you when I order a vanilla Dr. Pepper from Sonic, as you are the one who introduced me to those. I'll never forget your smile. Your kindness and support, despite your own struggles, really helped me through one of hte toughest times of my life. I'll never forget you. In my heart forever.

It is during times of great loss that we realize how limiting words can be and how special our friends truly are. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of grieving. Please know that you are not alone in remembering Tommy a truly wonderful person that meant so much to so many. God Bless You Always, Susie, Kendrick and Kristopher Nichols

Tommy,I'm very glad we were able to reconnect after all these years. Our phone conversations were ALL over the map!! Rest in peace my friend~~!!

The entire family are in our thoughts and prayers. So many stories have come up that make us smile that Tommy had the lead part in. The entire Cupples family were good to me and I will never forget that. I am sorry for your loss.

You are in my prayers always.

R.I.P. Tommy.

Tommy, we will love you and miss you forever. I bet you haven't stopped laughing and talking since you got to heaven. I'm grateful to God for taking away your pain and sorrow. Uncle Phil and I are so proud to call you our nephew. We have always wanted the best for you and God has answered our hope. Thanks for all the sunshine, laughter, and bull in a china shop you provided for us for 44 years. Love you forever.

To the boy who threw a crumbled piece of paper at my head in Geometry class our Sophomore year in High School. Yes, that is how you asked me to Homecoming!! :)
Although we lost contact for many years after we graduated, we reconnected through the great social media vice called Facebook. Over the last several years we talked, texted and bantered back and forth over the Internet. I was glad we reconnected. Most of our conversations included talking about your illness, your love for your family, your dogs and of course JJ Watt!
I know that you are at peace now and I hope that you are enjoying that heavy metal music that you always loved, that you have reconnected with some relatives and friends and that hopefully you are looking down on all of us smiling.
Take care my friend! Thank you for the memories.

My love to the family. Man, you and I challenged each other on every topic always to come back to our common faith and friendship. From Apaches to Colts and beyond, you are a great friend, Peace to us all ,for you rest in peace.

My condolences. RIP Tommy.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.
