James Whitlock Obituary
Tommy shared 40 beautiful years of marriage with the love of his life, Cheri, a partnership full of unwavering support. As a father, he showed up with an unconditional and steady love. As "Papa T," Tommy didn't just spend time with his grandkids, he poured into their lives with intention, creating magic in everyday moments.
Honoring his wishes, a small celebration of life will be held with close family and friends. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to COTA for Weston, https://cota.org/cotaforweston/, in honor of his little sidekick.
Tommy's life was love in action. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

Know of my great love of and respect for Tommy. He was such a good man and made every life he touched a little better. I love these words from a prayer I know, "Life is changed, not ended. When our earthly body lies in death, we gain an everlasting dwelling place in heaven ". I am keeping ALL of you in my thoughts and prayers. May he now rest from his labors in the loving arms of God. I will miss him greatly.

This is just super sad news. I remember meeting Tommy in typing class at PSJA. Then later interacting with him in the produce business. What a good guy he was. God speed Tommy
