Tommy Lee Upshaw

My dad

Its been a year without my father and I miss him more that ever. He was my favorite person on this planet.. My best friend. It never gets any easier to think about all the years i spent looking up to you. Always be my hero and I will always be your little girl. Love you dad

I was quite stunned to receive a phone call about Tom's passing. He was my favorite customer, and a friend.
He never pretended to be someone he wasn't, always took you on your word, and a hand-shake deal was always good enough for him, and me. There are very few good people like him out there.
I will miss him, and wish his wife and family all the best.

So very sorry and shocked to hear about Tom. I worked with him at the Port of Everett for many years and we had many lunches together. He was one of my very favorite persons and a friend. I will miss him and pray God will help his family will endure.

A surprising,and sad loss.
Mary and Cassie,you are covered in prayer,and that will continue.
I pray for healing and peace for you both,and Jimmy.
Love,Aunt Mary

So sorry to hear of your loss. Praying for comfort and strength. Your neighbor in #17. Glenda Jones

Tom was a part of my life for 22 years. Seen Tom early every morning for 18 years. Tom.. ..a Genius, perfectionist at his work. A fixture, a pillar a icon around the Port of Everett with a great reputation , and again a perfectionist at his electrical work. One you could trust. Over the years, the kids would come into work with Tom. I got to know the kids watch them grow up. Tom loved his family ! One thing we all have in common. Tom was a good tight friend. We .. I will miss him.

You will be truly missed cousin Tommy
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family
Sending hugs and much love to everyone

Lots of fond memories from so many years ago. Thoughts and prayers to his family. ~♡~RIP
Gordy & Jackie Oglesby

Party On Tommy!

My condolences to Mary, Cassandra and the rest of Tommy's Family. I'm sorry for your loss. RIP Tommy

I'd like to say sorry for OUR loss to everyone that had the opportunity to meet Tom and especially to those of us that really knew him. Tommy and his mom and brother became my next door neighbors when he was around 8 years old and he started riding his first bike, a Kawasaki, shortly thereafter. Later in life when I got my first motorcycle we really bonded as he wanted to teach me everything that he knew about bikes and riding, which was more than anyone I know. It must have stuck because I am still an avid rider to this day.
Tommy could also fix ANYTHING. He started tearing apart his moms household electronics and small appliances at a very young age. He later taught himself how to put most of them back together, and in working order.
Tom you'll be greatly missed and I'm proud to have had you as my friend.
Ride on Tommy!
