Tom was Born in Fullerton, California, on Sept. 18, 1950, and grew up in the Santa Ana area in his early years. He then got married in 1974 and moved to St. George, Utah, where they started their family. Tom became a master craftsman in cabinetry and built beautiful custom cabinets. He took the utmost pride in everything he did. Most who knew him considered him to be one of the best in his trade, and one of the hardest working men to ever work with. He was kind to everyone and was a great example of how to treat people, animals and all living things.
Tom enjoyed horses, aviation, hiking and camping when he was younger. He always enjoyed listening to music, watching movies and spending time with his family.
