My deepest condolences to the Brown family. I will keep Mr. Brown in my prayers. As my supervisor at TYC/TJJD for eight years; he was always professional, fair, and soft spoken. My favorite comment of his was when he would express "I am old school!" He thought the world of his daughter, Taylor and expressed it often. He was a role model to many.

Maggie and I wanted to send our condolences to the Brown family. Thomas and I were neighbors, and members of the Waco Basketball and Volleyball Officials Chapters. We also worked AAU Basketball tournaments together throughout Texas. I knew Thomas as a highly intelligent man with a small inner circle. He was very loyal and truly loved his family. Our hearts go out to you all. May God bless each of you!

Rest easy, I remember meeting you 26 years ago in Corsicans at TYC. You always remained professional and always told it like it was. We linked back up in Mart, and you still remained the same. I will always have that respect, because you always showed me respect. One of a kind......

To Taylor, the Brown and the Glenn Families - we loved Thomas as if he were our own son and brother and he was a deep part of our family. Over 30 years, we shared many meals, celebrating both milestones and everyday life. One of my fondest memories is of the many years he and my Dad (Joe) would get up at 4am to start the smoker going for your birthday parties, then they would go to breakfast and talk and laugh for hours. He joyously served in my bridal party when I married Jamie. He was already so proud of you Taylor. We send our deepest condolences and prayers that you will feel God's loving arms around you and His gifts of comfort, strength and peace. With love, "Moms" Nancy and "Baby Sister" Allison

Thomas, You were a special friend at Baylor and such a great athlete. Then working out in the off-season with you and Gary Don was a special time for me. You were a great referee for many of my son´s ball games. Miss you Thomas.
