Thomas Alan Hires Sr.

I loved my nephew dearly. He was taken away way too early. He was a little wild man when he was small, but then he grew into a gentle and kind man. He loved everyone, especially his partner, Lindsi, whom he loved with all his heart! Tom, you will be missed by all who met you! ❤️❤️

Tom, I will always love you. You were taken away much too soon, and I will miss you. We had so much silly code-talk between us that we developed over 61 years of being brother and sister, stuff from our childhood that we remembered all our lives. You were an awesome brother that I will never, ever forget. Love you!

Tom was and forever will be a great man! Very quiet, and humble but man could he bowl. You’ll forever be my teammate. I’ll see you again when I get to the Golden Lanes!

I love my brother always and will miss him for all my life. What a great man. So loving and giving. Thank you Tommy for being a beautiful part of my life.

Tom was an incredibly hardworking man. To give you an idea of what kind of man he was, when I married his daughter, I had 3 kids at the time with no job and no skills. He let me work tiling with him. I did a terrible job, to the point where he had to hire two people to finish it. He paid me 350 dollars for basically showing up. We really needed that money and Tom knew that. So when I heard the news he passed away, it definitely hurt. Even when my marriage ended, when I ran into him, we always talked about football. He always gave me a hard time every time Georgia lost. He had a great sense of humor. I considered Tom a friend and a quiet mentor. His work ethic was unmatched, something that his children inherited and something I applied to my life. My deepest condolences to his family, his friends, or anybody he encountered; he was a great man.

All angels must take their place in peace and rest, you are very loved and remembered. Sweet dreams.

Departed much too soon, loved by everybody he met. Rest well my father.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
