there hasn’t been a day sense March 19th 2022 i haven’t thought about you. everyday i feel your guidance, embrace, love & courage. thinking of you always being there, dropping whatever you were doing or going through to be there for me & support me. the restaurant job that i hated two christmases ago, that you pushed me to succeed at and told me i could do it, im still employed there. i miss laying on your chest & listening to your heart beat. you always pushed me to be the best version of me i could be. & you always told me i made you want to be the best version of you that you could be, and i whole heartedly want you to know & understand that you were. you were the light in my life & the only person that truly understood me & loved me for everything i was & am. you were my best friend. “ride or die”. YOU were an amazing man. your spirit & energy remains unmatched. your sense of humor, the way you love, the way you protect, the way you care, listen, support. everything about you will always amaze me. i am forever grateful we found each other & chose each other. you gave me the best (and most challenging) 5 years of my life. you gave me every single tool necessary to deal with whatever problem or emotion comes my way. you taught me so much about myself, & helped & watched me grow into a woman. you are my angel, i feel you every single second i breathe. you live & love within me. thank you. for absolutely everything. i love you until the end of time. i will find you in the next, & every life we live together. your memory will forever live on.  you will always be my soulmate. rest in peace, my love 

“squishy” ❤️

I will never forget the day/evening we met at the airbnb....  You were not expected until the next day at all or by far but grateful you did arrive!  You had this glow of positivity in a majorly chaotic situation at the house fun and just went with the flow of whatever.  Grateful and more helpful then others that was for certain.

We actually wound up sitting out back talking most of the night you had a bunch of crap going on and so did I.  It was good to just get someone else's opinion and just talk about anything... your mom, your girlfriend, fishing, my dog, my ex... literally I think we spoke about everything that we could that night.

  We actually became really good friends between the few days there together and the almost year to after.  Although I drifted away and you went for your visit home.  However, it will never stop amazing me how even to this day when I get stressed or anxious or have a crying or panic attack, I CAN LITERALLY HEAR YOUR VOICE AND ALL SAYING "Calm down, everything ends up and turns out EXACTLY as it should." It was my intent calming remedy and I do not know why it worked or how but it never failed EVERYTIME you'd say it I was instantly back to calm.  

You were an amazing, funny, creative, carefree and respectable young man.  I was so heartbroken for your mom and family when I heard of your passing.  Definitely gone too soon but you made an impact in this world for positive changes.  I got my business started almost fully and it is in Honor of you and Joey.  The 2 people who impacted my mental health and treatment the most in the shortest periods of time may your memories live on forever and help others always!  RIP my dear friend!

You are dearly missed and thought of daily!

1. I really didn't know Tommy, but I knew his  mom through a couple different things we were both involved in. From the way Kim, his mom, talked about him I started to feel like I was getting to know him. Kim spoke of him with such love that I could feel that, too. I also had the privilege of attending his memorial & hearing so many folks speak so lovingly about him. 
2. I like to listen to music in the background when I'm working, cleaning, etc., & I heard a song that reminded me of him - the line that reminded me of Tommy was "But I could have told you (Tommy) this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.

My sympathy to his family and friends. I will always remember his gorgeous eyes and bubbly personality and The woodworking he loved to do in Dave's workshop. Deepest sympathy to you Kim and Dave and everyone that knew him and cared for him.
