May God's perpetual light shine upon Tommy.

I worked for Mr. Benton for about 9 years. He was one of the Good Guys. I was lucky to know him.

We are so very sad to hear this news, and wish we could be there for the services. This feels like the end of an era to me. Tommy, Fred, Sr., Barrett and Steve were so gracious to me and Kelly so many years ago, and God used them in our lives so profoundly. I had no connections, and didn't even know any lawyers, when I stumbled on to their doorstep as a second year law student looking for a job. They took me in as their own, and helped set me on the path God had planned long before. Tommy became like a father figure to me, and I am forever grateful for his extraordinary example and servant's heart. We send Jodie and the entire family our love, prayers and deepest sympathies. We have lost another hero.

Jodi and family,
May the Lord give you comfort knowing you will see Tommy again. Linda and I live in Kentucky and cannot be there in person, but y'all will be in our prayers. I think of my friendship with the Odoms often, even though I left BR over 30 years ago. God bless you.

To everyone in the Benton-Odom family. You are all in my prayers at this time and always. I will always treasure the years of great times I had at the house spending time with Tommy and Jodie and the rest of the family around that huge dinner table. You always had an open door for all of the kids that wanted to visit or needed to talk to Tommy, Jodie, Barrett, or anyone else for that matter. May the love of Jesus fill your hearts and souls at this time and always. Thank-you for EVERYTHING!!
