Thomas O. Aslin, Jr. aka "Tommy" aka "Big Tom"
Born May 7, 1971 in Dallas, Texas and gained his wings November 3, 2024.
Preceded by his mother Yvonne Keathley Donihoo and Stepfather Larry Donihoo;
Grandparents Richard L. Keathley Sr. and Mary Keathley Ruff; Uncle Richard L.
Keathley Jr. and Aunts Kimberly Smith and Anna Jane Guinn; his beloved Boo-bear.

Tommy grew up in Mesquite, Texas. He was a member of the 1990 graduating class
from Mesquite High School. He joined the United States Marine Corp December of
1991. He completed his service in 1994. He explored different careers finally landing in
telecommunications where he started his own company A+ Telecom. Tommy was a bit
of an adrenaline junky. This was key to his love of all water sports and motocross. He
built a close circle of friends doing the things he loved. Although he loved doing all those
things, his greatest pride and joy were his children, Katrina and Trent. With his spiked
blonde hair and yellow tinted sunglasses, Tommy was one of a kind and will never be
forgotten.
Isaiah 41:10 – So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

I just found out about Tommy, my sincerest condolences to the family. I worked with Tommy for many years in the construction industry. I really enjoyed our relationship, both professional and personal. He had a great sense humor and great work ethic. He always made sure his clients were taken care of and the job was done correctly. I will miss him. May God comfort the family and give them peace during this time.
