Tom passed away October 11th, 2024, from a brain bleed at Northern Nevada Medical Center in Reno at 7:45pm.

Tom (a 3rd generation Nevadan) was raised in Pioche, NV before moving to Carson City in 1955. He graduated from Carson High in 1962, where he played football, ran track and field, and participated in downhill skiing. He attended the University of Nevada Reno Mackay School of Mines where he obtained his Bachelor of Science in geology in 1974.

Tom was an avid archery hunter. He taught his boys archery and participated in archery shoots in Nevada and California as part of the Fallon Bowmen club. He was an upland game bird hunter, fisherman, and enjoyed riding his quad all over the mountains of the Silver State. Tom was a loyal friend, a proud father and grandfather, a loving husband and son who always would help those in need.
