I am so sorry that Im just seeing that Mr. Dortch had passed. I was so honored that he and his amazing organization honored me in 2021 during Covid and managed to still do a ceremony online. I’m sorry I will never get an opportunity to meet him, shake his hand and say Thank you! My condolences to his family! God bless you and my prayers are with you! πŸ™πŸ½

My deepest condolences to the Dortch family.Β  Tommy used his many gifts to make life better for others, and it was a privilege to know him as a friend and support his wonderful work. He had the rare ability to show genuine interest in everyone he met, which made him an ideal mentor and advocate for youth and all. Tommy leaves a legacy of leadership that will live on through the work of 100 Black Men and the many young people whom the organization has empowered to become their best selves. His commitment to the community and to the next generation provides a model for all of us, and it is an honor and blessing to have known him.Β Β

As I think of Thomas W. Dortch Jr. a smile comes to my face. He was a father figure for those who had no father, a man of distinction for us who had fathers. His kindness was dignified. His willingness to help the known and the unknown was his Mercy and Grace to humanity. He has earned his home in heaven.
