Dear Ms. Miche,
I just wanted to take the time to say how sorry I am for your loss. Unfortunately, I just found out today, Nov. 17. I never knew Tommy personally, but I met him a few times and he was always so happy and fun loving. I know one time you guys were so kind to invite me over for Easter, I went along with Nicole, your new home was so nice.
Im also so sorry for the losses that the Bagur and Murry family had to endure this year. I'm sure Tommy and Nicole are up there "cutting up" like they used to.
They are and always will be missed.
Love,
April Broussard (Nicole Murry's cousin, daughter of Maureen O'Neal - the phone company)

Mich,
You and your family have endured so much tragedy, and now Tommy, how truly awful. I am so sad for you and wish there was something I could do or say to make all these horrible things go away. I used to work with Marcelle at the Yacht Club, but have moved to Austin, Texas. Please know that even though I'm far away, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers daily.

Mich, I don't know if you and I ever met but we did have the pleasure of meeting your son when he was a teenager growing up in Alabama. His friendship meant alot to our son and his family. Our son is Derek Kiley and I just wanted to say mother to mother; I thank you for having a son who would over the years instill in our son the meaning of living life and enjoying every day of it. I was always intrigued by the friendship that those boys shared growing up. It was great that they stayed in touch and he meant the world to Derek and Morgan. Derek and Tommy learned alot from each other and now Derek will take those lessons learned and teach them to others he encounters in life. Tommy thank you for being such a wonderful friend to our son. You will surely be missed by those who knew you and loved you, but this world will also mourn the loss of a young man who obviously knew how to live every day to the fullest and you taught those around you to do the same. This guest book is proof of the many lives you touched. Rest in Peace

I cannot even think of the words to describe the person Tommy was. He was great to everyone he met and always put a smile on your face. Mich, you should be so proud of the son you raised and always know that everyone loved him and know that you are in our prayers. He was the absolute greatest guy and I hope that my two sons can be as liked and respected as Tommy was. I will never forget you and will love you always.

I thought of Tommy as a little brother and am still waiting to hear his voice today. We talked about EVERYTHING. He was a wonderful man and friend.

Dear Durr Family,
I cannot express my deep sorrow on hearing of Tommy’s death. Being away from Baton Rouge and the office it does not seem real that I will never get a chance to see his smiling face again. I had the privilege of working with Tommy for 6 years or so. He was always a joy to be around - to hear of his plans for the future; his wonderful work ethics; his love and concern for the well being of his family especially his Mother and grandparents; his recipes and wonderful meals that he shared with the rest of us and always ready to have fun and being able to handle any situations will be so greatly missed. I pray for his family will receive the strength from God to accept this great loss and somehow learn to accept God’s will in the loss of such a wonderful human being. God must have needed someone in heaven to bring a smile to His face or maybe He needed a wonderful omelet or pancakes breakfast that Tommy was so good at preparing for the whole office. This world is a poorer place without Tommy and I will always remember and keep Tommy and his family in my prayers. Rest in peace Tommy!

Tommy,
I really have to express myself here. You were packed for the trip of a lifetime, but I guess God had his own trip planned for you. It still runs through my mind of what happened and the fact that when I got to you you were speaking to my husband and then the worse news was delivered. I took it real hard at first, but to calm down I just pictured you with your dad now. I know work will NEVER be the same, but we'll still go on. Even though I missed the services, I had my own service on that highway that NO ONE else could ever imagine going through. I along with the others decided that we should go on the trip b/c you would have wanted that.....so we did and I want you to know that we drank jack daniels and toasted you ever chance we got! Lots of Love your way and keep watch over us. Maybe I'll see you again someday... You'll still be with us everyday, in our hearts.

Tommy Durr or AKA "The Italian Stallion" to us, where do I begin my brother? From the moment I met this wonderful person I had to be around him everyday.Tommy's Mother must've thought she'd adopted a new son with how often I was there or how often we'd all call or come by late into the night. He was a natural born leader and Mich raised a fine young man that any mother would be proud of. When I think of Tommy all I can hope is that my son's, my wife, and myself will have touched as many people as he did in his life. We've all cried many tears for you Tommy and your family. you've helped us all to see how precious life really is.
I am happy you were the Godfather to my children and that you've stayed a big part of our life after you moved to Louisiana. You were a Brother to both my wife and I and we will always cherish the memories we shared with you. You are a person that anyone who has met will never forget nor would ever want to. You have an amazing group of friends in gonzalez who I would like to say thank you again for everything you have done for Tommmy, Mich and Tommy's family and friends. I only wish I could have lived closer and spent more time with Tommy but I will always have only the best memories of him as the greatest man and soul I've yet to see grace the face of our earth. We will never let our children forget about their Godfather Tommy, and how we should all take what Tommmy has given us in life and use it in our own. His kindness to everyone, a loyal son to his mother, his smile, his ability to be everyone's best friend he came into contact with, always a shoulder to cry on or a best friend to laugh with, and overall just a great down to earth person who always had a better way of helping me look at things.
To Mich we are all shocked to have lost such an amazing person but are greatful to you forever for giving Tommy to us. My family will remain in touch with your family as always so you we can all watch as Tommy's Godchildren grow. He was taken so soon from us I can only believe god had seen what this man had already accomplished in 28 yrs and how many he'd touched here he must've had a special place where he needed our angel from earth to be an angel in his heaven. You will always be in my prayers Mich and I am thankful that only time seperates us from our Tommy and we will all rejoice with him again one day.
I LOVE MY BROTHER, MY FAMILY LOVES YOU AND WE WILL
ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU. MAY YOU NOW REST IN PEACE AND LOOK OVER US ALL JUST AS YOU WOULD HERE. WE WILL ALL PRAY TO YOU AND KEEP YOU IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER. YOU WERE TAKEN TO EARLY MY FRIEND AND THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER WHO CAN TAKE YOUR PLACE IN OUR HEARTS. WE LOVE YOU TOMMY DURR

Miche,
Don and I send our sincere condolences. Our payers and thoughts are with you to find the strenght to make it through this time of sorrow. Even though Don and I never met Tommy and only knew him through your conversations and wonderful stories, we were very sadden when we learned of your loss last night. After reading all of Tommy's guest book entries and viewing the photos, we know Tommy was a good son and a genuine friend that was loved by many, whose humor was enjoyed by all, and whose presence will be missed by everyone. Tommy is a young man who will always live in the memories and hearts of all that knew him.

I will miss seeing Tommy here and there around town. I will however smile everytime I think of him. Every conversation about Tommy always involved a new "Tommy Story" and the "Tigger Story" was priceless. I will treasure those stories always. Tommy, thanks for always making me smile and laugh. Tommy's family, I will continue to keep you in my prayers.

Thank you to all who posted pictures of Tommy. I'm just flooded with memories of the plentiful time we spent together as children, a result of our parents' friendship. Seems we were always going to the Durr's or they were coming over, and it was fun. Nobody could play Zelda like Tommy. :)
Mrs. Durr, Scott, there are no words..I cannot possibly begin to understand your grief. You remain in our prayers and thoughts daily.

Aunt Miche,
I was so very sorry and saddened by the news of Tommy. Although I wasn't around Tommy much, I remember and speak of what a kind, thoughtful, and loving person he was. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love,

How does one evaluate the worth of a man? It could not be determined by how much money he makes or how big his house is or what he wears or his athleticism. Nor should it be determined by those factors. They are materialistic. And Tommy D. was worth more than all of those measures combined.
Should we evaluate a man based on his sense of humor? We could, and Tommy would have excelled phenomenally. Nobody else could bring a smile to your face more quickly than with his bewildered stare. He could practically bring you to tears from laughing so hysterically. Tommy's good humor had him whistling through the halls, had him slapping "high-fives," had him brightening the days of every single person he passed.
But Tommy was more than a funny guy with a good humor. He was more than the go-to guy for laughs. Tommy was the type of friend we all hope for, the type of friend that you count yourself lucky to experience even if it were only once in your life. He was the type of friend who'd take all your money in a poker game, but would leave you smiling the entire time. He was the type of friend who would help you plywood your attic in nearly 100 degrees of dead heat. He was the type of friend to rejoice with you in your new job, even if he felt like his was going nowhere. And did he ever ask for anything in return? You could offer, but in his unassuming way he'd say, "Don't worry about it. Your friendship is enough." Then, after a moment, he'd smile and add, "And the occasional beer."
Tommy was the type of person who'd make you feel like the most important individual in the room - in any room. He had touched so many hearts, affected so many lives. And yet he was humble enough to not even realize his own importance. By any test or examination or analysis, Tommy's worth is incalculable.
Everyone says, regarding their loved ones whom have passed away, that they were special. But Tommy WAS special. He IS special; he'll always be. And even though he was stolen from us - those that loved him and cherished him - he will continue to live on in our hearts, through our memories.
Tommy, I miss you. We all do.

T.D.,
What can I say?? You were one of my heroes! I always wanted to live life like you and appreciate everyone and everything to the fullest all the time. I can say that (even though I don't work there anymore) Lofton will never be the same. You lit up the room when you walked in and could ALWAYS put a smile on my face (sometimes that was hard to do)! I will never forget you T.D. and will think of you often. Please watch over all of us and send a smile down every now and then to let us know you're thinking of us. I will miss you terribly!! Until we meet again Tommy.....
Love always,

i can't help but think of the time when tommy came got us to see the frisky little lizards on the bench! the good old days when rpcc didn't even have books in the library yet. what a prankster! he was the light of our days there and he'll be missed :(

I felt the need to say a little more about our dear friend. It still seems so unreal that Tommy is gone, it feels like he is on his cruise. I can still hear him coming into work every morning making his rounds and giving his high-five's. I can still hear his voice saying payroll "park 8"! He definately did light everybody's lives and spirits, he was so fun, and he will be missed greatly. Tommy, I know you are cruising up there and I know you are playing poker with the angels. I know that even though you are gone, you will continue to light our lives. God Bless You! I am blessed with every minute I got to know you.

wow, I'm still in shock. I only found out through sheer coincidence about this horrible tragedy and I'm completely blown away. My greatest friend I've made in the US, and it's always bugged me I had to move away. This guy was a legend, one of the greatest human beings I have ever met. I can honestly say I'm a better person for knowing him, and will remember his larger then life personality. Our prayers are with Tommy's family and those also grieving for him. Cannon ball into the ocean big guy!

You were the best friend a girl could ask for. This world wont be the same without you. I will never forget you, your “RED DRINK”, your lack of ICE, your "Chicken Stuff", your practice Ribs, and your bungee cord refrigerator shelf. Your laughter could light up the entire room and that will be missed more than you will ever know. You meant so much to me and Clif. Yours is a friendship that will truly be missed all the days of our lives. We have so many memories that I will cherish forever. I Love you and miss you dearly! Your favorite neighbor, Kelly.

I had to send a picture of you as well, Anyone who met you or even spoke to you knew what a wonderful person you were, you always had a way of making bad days better and good days great! Not a day went by that you didn't hear you whistling down the hall or cracking some joke .. (Or famous Chuck Norris fact,) I will miss you, I will miss your friendship, watch over us okay .. And one day we will join that Mardi Gras party you are having up in the sky .. Love you Tommy!

"The Gang" (you know who you are!),
Where do I start?.....I was so shocked to hear about Tommy. He was always the life of the party, the first one to crack a joke. In the past few months I have learned a great deal about grieving and life itself: You will always grieve for those you love and that you must live life to its fullest. If there is one thing to say about Tommy, it's that he lived life to the fullest. He will be truly missed by all who were blessed to know him. Tommy will forever live in our hearts and memories, and it is to those memories which we must turn to when we are feeling our lowest. Just think of the time when Tommy and Jay were "Morpheus", or the time he taught Jay the impossible sit-up, or when he dressed up like Tigger for halloween and had Hoover drive him to Grace's while he stood in the back of the truck. Just know that as long as we have these memories, we will still have a piece of Tommy with us.
Tommy's Mom,
Nothing can compare to your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May you know that Tommy brought joy to many people during his short time with us and now God has called him home to rest in peace.

I worked at River Parishes Community College when Tommy was a student and student worker at RPCC. I never saw Tommy without a smile on his face. You could have the most stressful day at work, and Tommy could walk in the office and make you laugh uncontrollably. His energy and zest for life was extremely contagious. From the stories I heard at visitation Tuesday night, his shining light touched everyone he met. I am sure of one thing - there is a lot of laughter going on in heaven now that Tommy is there.
Mrs. Durr and family, my heart breaks for you. You are in my prayers.

I never met Tommy, but my mom Ildi Gajda worked with him. She always spoke very highly of him and looked on him with motherly love. I know that she is devastated by the news. I have sent the prayer request to many friends and family and I have been keeping Tommy and his family in my daily prayers. May God bless you all and give you strength and courage during this time.
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Tommy was such a great person that you couldn't help but love. He was always the hit of the party and made everyone laugh. I have so many great memories of him that I've found myself laughing through my tears since we received the sad news on Saturday. Playing cards and game night will never be the same. We have all lost a truly great person who was the complete definition of friend. We love you and will miss you tremendously!

We cannot imagine the depth of sadness that must fill your hearts. Though we never met Tommy, we feel like we knew him.

Please know that all his family and friends are in our hearts and prayers.

Tommy has been part of our family for a very long time. He touched so many of us with his brilliant smille and wonderful sense of humor. We all loved him very much. There have been so many fond memories. He loved my chicken and dumplings and shrimp jambalaya. We played cards, "batchi ball", and drinking games. Tommy made us all happy. But must of all, I feel blessed that he was my son's trusted friend. Our whole family is missing him deeply. He was a gentle young man with a big heart and an incredible sense of fun. Our prayers are with you, Mitch for there are no words for a mother who has to bury her son.

Tommy and I were great buddies from the moment we met. I have so many wonderful, fun memories of the times we spent together and even though I moved away we always stayed in touch. Tommy touched so many lives, he was so easy to love. I will miss you and I love you always!

Tommy, our family has been through so much this year, and you were the only one who seemed able to make us laugh through all the loss. Now it feels like all the joy we had left has gone with you. I hope you and Uncle John are cracking jokes in heaven, and watching over your mother. Your spirit is so strong, I know you will always be with her, and us. Love, your cousin

Tommy,
You were a true friend to me. Because of you, I am who I am today. You taught me what a promise is and how to never break it. you taught me how to be true to myself and never change for anybody. And most importantly, you taught me to never say "I love you" unless I truly meant it. I hope to one day see you again. Until then, please watch over all of us and our families. You have never let me down before, so I know you won't this time. I love you and will always and forever think of you.

Ms. Miche, Scott and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Tommy was a true friend and just an all around great guy. Because of him, I know the real meaning of living life to the fullest for that is what he did. His love for his family and friends were like no other. I never knew a man who loved his mother as much as he loved you Ms. Miche. To him, you hung the moon. My prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. I love you all.

RIP TOMMY D!
