He had multiple computer engineering jobs that would take him from Texas to Seattle and back to Texas. Tom was smart, funny, witty and loved a good cigar. Tom could tell a story like no other. He would take apart any motorcycle, car/truck or jet ski and put it back together better than he found it. He was a loving son, a great brother and uncle. Tom is preceded in death by this parents; Allen K. and Melba Trobaugh. He is survived by his sisters; Georgia Trobaugh, Sidney Scarborough of Midland, Texas, Susan Trobaugh and husband Tony Smith of Austin, Texas, niece Abby O'Reilly, nephews Houston, wife Allison Scarborough, Kieffer Scarborough, Connor, Callaghan, Liam and Shea O'Reilly.

This is sad. I spent lots of time with Tom at Efficient. He had many wonderful stories. I remember one Halloween where his costume put a smile on everyone's face. He was one of the good ones. I will miss him.

Tom was an incredible man, who was always willing to share knowledge with others. The man even created an extensive online website and resource page for Wetbikes that benefitted almost all of us wetbikers. His campfire stories were the best, and his heart was huge. He gave so much of himself to anyone who asked, and did it with a certain entertainment value that couldn't be found elsewhere. My heart aches for the family as I know he will be missed dearly. My condolences and well wishes to all of his family and friends.
