My Thoughts and Prayers for Thomas
And His Family....

This one really hurt. Thomas was great friend. We meet in Texas when he was in high school and played lots of basketball together. He was a few years younger than me so I took him under my wing. He would come stay with me during his Navy days when he would come home or was on leave. We had so many great memories. We didn’t talk as much as grew older both of us where raising families and working, but when we did it was great catching up. I loved to hear about all the great strides he made in his community. What a great mentor he was to his kids, his students, and the youth of Virginia. He loved God, his wife and their amazing children. Love ya buddy thanks for the friendship. I was very proud of the man you became. Watch out for the boat hitches in Heaven my friend. ❤

I am deeply sorry for your loss. I worked with Thomas for many years at a variety of schools. He was always a happy, go-lucky person! His smile will be missed by all.

In loving memory of a wonderful man. I worked with Thomas at CMS, worked with his wife for a little at Sanford, and taught their twins as well. To hear of his passing broke my heart. He was very friendly and a great guy to work with. My heart goes out to his family and friends. Many prayers.

Coach Swords was an amazing mentor, friend, teacher. I am forever thankful for all the knowledge, and values He contributed in Ashlee and Maigan and for always being there for them! He will be greatly missed. Thoughts and prayers to the family.

Rachel my heart goes out to you and your family. Everytime we got together there was always love there. We love you all and we are here for you.

This is a beautiful tribute to a man who left behind a legacy reflective of his God given gifts and purpose - a blessing that can be replicated in our community and in Tommy's honor. My prayers and support will remain with you and the children during this time of transition and beyond, Rachel.
In love and light,

Thomas was bigger than life and I still can't believe he has left this earth for his heavenly home. Please accept our deepest condolences as the family continues to process and grieve. We love you all... Jill and Grace Spielberger
