I am so broken hearted to hear about Tommy. He was a special part of my life growing up together in Central Park. There are so many memories I will cherish of the times we spent together. Tommy was like a brother to me . Thru the years, he always came by after each one of my three babies were born to meet them. My prayers are with you Ms Mary and each of his brothers and his Houston family for God to give you all His peace and comfort. I'm sorry I wasn't able to come down to say goodbye. That broke my heart as well. Tommy was a precious encouraging friend to everyone and kept us laughing on facebook with his humorous stories. Thanks to everyone who shared their memories on his facebook page. We will miss you Tommy!

Tommy you were one of a kind. You have left a void in the operations of the company you loved and a gulf in the hearts of everyone that knew you. It was a privilege to know you and to work with you over the years. You are missed. RIP my friend.

Tommy Sands was one of the sharpest, most skilled, and funniest people I have ever worked with. DXP has dozens of people who only know their jobs because of Tommy's efforts. If there was a problem, Tommy was the guy who could fix it. He didn't suffer fools, because he knew it all and didn't have time to baby anyone. But he was also one of the best trainers I've ever seen. So much of our success is owed to Tommy. It will absolutely not be the same without him.

Life is hard. You just don't realize what someone means to you or to the community until you lose them. Tommy threw some great parties and we loved him for sharing but he was also responsible to show us all how to care for animals and each other. He had a big heart and a big smile and we will all miss him very much!

Tommy's personality was one of a kind. He never met a stranger, had a heart bigger than most and the ability to bring a smile or gut wrenching laughter to those around him. He was committed to his career, faithful to his friends and passionate about his pets. He has left some great memories and will never be forgotten.

Tommy, my heart is breaking more and more each day that passes. I can't imagine not being able to pick up the phone or just walk around the corner to see you. I will always love you and will smile every time I think about you. You made my life better by being such an important part of it. It was a great 11 years...I don't know how I will ever get over this but I will always remember the great times...and your smile...RIP my sweet man!

My Prayers go out to all who knew this great man. He was such a great person in which I am glad to say that I had the chance to meet and know. There was never a moment that I did not see Tommy smile. When he smiled you could not help but to smile back. He was humorous and passionate about everything that he did. I will miss seeing him around. May God Bless your soul Tommy. That place in the Keys cannot compare to the beautiful place you are now. One day we will meet again my friend.
