Tommy Kent McCormick

Tommy Kent McCormick, born on October 12, 1952, in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, passed away on March 29, 2025, in Lubbock, Texas. A devoted father and grandfather, Tommy is survived by his sons, Erick, Derrick, and Barry McCormick, daughter-in-law Lynn McCormick, and his brother Eldon McCormick.

An electrician by trade, Tommy retired from the Lubbock State School, where he made lasting friendships and memories. He found joy in the simple pleasures of life, such as spending weekends fishing, enjoying the great outdoors, and cheering on his favorite sports teams, particularly basketball.

His love for life and family shone through in every interaction, as he dedicated himself not only to his children but also to his grandchildren. His enthusiasm for life, passion for the outdoors, and fondness for guns defined his spirit.
