TJ died suddenly April 19, 2024Â
Survived by his loving mother, Michelle Gornik. Sun city West Arizona.Â
My heart broke the day I lost him. Every day since, I miss him more than words can express. T.J. wasn’t just my son, my only child—he was the most important person in my life. I do not think I will ever stop crying.Â
T.J. had a smile that could light up any room. He was so funny, so witty, so smart. His humor, his heart, and his sharp mind left a lasting impression on everyone lucky enough to know him. He brought joy and laughter everywhere he went, and the world is dimmer without him.
This page is a place to remember, to celebrate, and to share the love we all carry for T.J. Please feel free to share your memories, photos, or just say hello to him here. He is forever missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.
