Tommie became a charter member of First United Methodist church Sachse in 1986 where he was a faithful servant. He loved racing cars, hunting, fishing and watching NASCAR and he was very proud of the 1957 BelAir convertible he owned for many years.

Tommie loved and spoiled the many dogs, cats and goats he had throughout his life. In addition to his wife, Donna, of almost 40 years, Tommie is survived by his son Darin, his wife Holley and grandson Seamus and his daughter Deidre and her husband Matt.
