Tommy Rudolph Brumlow, 86, of Calhoun, Georgia, passed away on November 14, 2025, surrounded by his loving family.
Tommy was born on September 21, 1939, in Calhoun, Georgia, to Dorothy and Calvin Brumlow. He grew up in the Calhoun area and was known throughout his life for his steady presence, quiet strength, and unwavering work ethic.
For 26 years, Tommy worked at Kuhlman Chenille before co-founding the family business, Brumlow Mills, with his son, Mitchell. His dedication, dependability, and hands-on leadership helped build a legacy that continues through his family today.
Tommy married the love of his life, Nina Black, and together they shared 65 years of marriage. Their home was filled with love, laughter, family, and countless memories. Tommy was especially proud of his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and the life they all built together.
Outside of work, Tommy enjoyed simple joys that brought him peace—watching football, following NASCAR, and most of all, spending time on the front porch with Nina, surrounded by their grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Those moments were his greatest treasure. Tommy attended Trinity Baptist Church and was a member of the Rock Sunday School Class.
