Thomas Wayne Gill

Thomas Wayne Gill, 47, died in his home on December 6, 2003. He was a much beloved and most devoted father, husband, son, brother, and friend. He is survived by his three loving children, Travis, Kuri, and Marshi; his beloved wife, Karen; his parents, C.B. "Sonny" and Beverly Gill; and his siblings, Lynn Lamm, Robyn Enroughty, Scott Emerson, Richard, Bobby, and Jimmy Gill; and lifelong friends, Blair Roller, David and Janice Headden. Tom's passions include his love for music, his deep respect and understanding of the environment, and great integrity of spirit. He shared his love of music, his remarkable voice and talented songwriting with family and friends, and with the community, most recently as lead singer of the band "Wolftown". He devoted his working life to passive solar energy building and many people were blessed by his skill and vision. He raised responsible, gifted, loving children and his passions live on in them. His sweet voice, keen mind, loyal heart, and passion for life are lost to us, but his memory will live on. Visitation will be held at Beulah Presbyterian Church on Friday, December 12 from 6 to 8 p.m. His memorial service will be Saturday, December 13 at 1 p.m. also at the church, which is easily accessible from Rt. 156 in Mechanicsville. The Bon Secours Hospice Team were remarkably kind and generous and the family requests donations be made to this organization, or Crater Community Hospice. Tom's youth and his struggle with his illness remind us that every day is future. Tom faced his illness with courage and lived each day to the fullest.
