I am sadden to hear of Toms passing. Prayers sent to his family and friends .

Tom and I were best friends for all of our younger years through school. Will certainly miss the boy. We had the best circle of friends and always had the Best times. Hed give you a reason to peg the fun meter! Beach days and snow days we did it all together. Miss you Tom!

My family is is so very sad to hear this news. Tom spent many days at our house and we always enjoyed his humor and fun spirit . Well miss you Tom. :heart:

Im so saddened to hear of Toms passing. I have fond memories with Tom at Martin Middle and Athens. He always had a warm smile and great sense of humor. He loved everyone and was therefore loved by everyone. Im so glad I saw him at the Athens homecoming 89 football game a few years ago. He was a special part of the class of 89. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. Rest In Peace Tom.

Lauren, thank you for sharing your stories about Tom. Tom always wanted to do the right thing, and I'm glad he was there for you at the right time and place when it mattered most. Carrie

So sad. He will be missed forever just like Lee Bunn and Heather Decatur.

Tom helped me last year when I was out of work. He had a big heart.

I am so sorry to hear about Tom. We had so many fun times together.....Sr. Prom to being college roommates. Sending my thoughts and prayers to his family.

I have known Tom and the Ridge Rd crew for 30 plus years. Tom helped me this past year with lawn maintenance around my house and i helped him with his hardwood floors in his new beautiful home. I can say no matter what was going on in his life he was with the Women of his deams, true love and you new this when you saw them together or ust heard him talking to her on the phone. I could go on and on about Tom. He was such a character and i have a lifetime of experiences with him. Someone else mentioned Lake Anne and yes those were great times. When we all made it to Broughton from different middle schools is where my friendship took off with him. Sledding in the winter if we had snow down churchhill.

Tom was in my sixth period Senior English class during my first year of teaching at Athens Drive High. He was always a bright spot in my day and could always make me laugh. I ran into him a few times over the years and we would reminisce about the class of 89. Tom, I cant believe you are gone. God bless you, buddy. Thanks for being you.

I was one of Tom's housemates back in early 2000. I always enjoyed his wicked sense of humor.

Im deeply saddened by Toms passing. We were high school classmates. He was always so cheerful and kept you laughing. It was so good to see him at our most recent class reunion . . . and that smile! I will forever cherish our friendship. ADHS c/o 89

Tom and I went to our first concert together in 1986. It was RUSH in Greensboro. He was funny, witty and he was my friend. I hadnt seen him in a few years. I will miss him. RIP Tom. We had a blast at the first Lake Anne party!

Im just hearing about Toms passing tonight and Im truly heartbroken. I met Tom in Greensboro probably 25 years ago, always crossing paths through the years. There was a time when we were very close friends. Ill never forget. Im sending much love and light to his family and loved ones. Tom you will be so so missed.

Unfortunately, I can't share a memory about this young man because I did not know him, but I knew his parents. Mendall Jordan was our kind and caring physician for many years, and Suzanne was a colleague at NCSU for a time. It is no wonder that they produced such a fine son. Sincere condolences to Suzanne and the rest of the family and my apologies for being so late in sending this message. We are fine now, but had a series of events that prevented our responding sooner.

My first friend when I moved to Raleigh in 1980. We lived close to each other and really enjoyed youthful times swimming and chasing Beth Porter, Leah Mobley, Dia Delpagio and Heather Decatur. We all miss you alot Tom. RIP old friend

To Tom's family and his beloved Nina. I am so sorry for your loss of Tom. I remember him mostly from our days at Martin Middle School and later at Athens. To lose someone so sudden is an indescribable pain. I want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Nina, Tom was so blessed he had you. May you feel the Saviours arms wrapped around you during this difficult time.

Carrie and family, I am so sorry to hear of Toms passing. I have many fond memories of him with all of us at the pool or hanging out in the neighborhood. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. Liz Cook Rohweder

Its hard for me to think that I will never see or talk to Tom again. It brings tears to my eyes. I personally will miss him snd I know he will be missed by many. RIP my good friend. I LOVE YOU....

I am so very sorry to hear about Tom. He was a high school friend who was always cheerful and fun to be around. I could always count on him for a laugh. I was so happy to catch up with him during our 2009 HS reunion. We shared so many memories. My heart goes out to his family. I am so sorry that you lost him so young. Marnie Ganotis Berkeley, CA
