so many photoshops - he took the ribbing in stride.

That one was either air slide mando or air banjo....not sure. But either way, he was killing it!

He was a passionate kid. I had no idea about his demons and I was so looking forward to playing guitar with him someday. Fuck....never met him in person and I cried like a baby this morning. I'm going to miss that kid.
he was a good guy....and i had some spirited discussions with him about my faith in God versus his atheism....he sometimes came off as mocking and mean spirited here on the board but we had some "off the board pm discussions" where he was much more gracious and listened to my point of view in a more respectful manner and i came to a better understanding of his viewpoints as well. he was a very intelligent guy.

this loss is just so tragic i really don't know what to say except i feel so bad for his family and close personal friends who are left to try to "deal with it".

This sucks!

He was always so friendly and didn't cut others down even when taking a ribbing.

My thoughts and prayers for his friends & family........May God give them some comfort in knowing how much he was loved and the testaments here showing what a good person he was.....

I am so sorry to hear this so very sorry, I knew Tom was dealing with demons after some show last year he was in my room totally fucked up and I knew "the look" because I lived it too but survived when most of my friends did not, I tried talking w/ him to tell him my story but it was hopeless, no one listens till it's too late. I been down this fucked up road a million times, lost many friends over the years to this nasty stuff and it breakes my heart that Tom was so fucking young, my heart is bleeding for his Mom, your not ment to out live your children and it's my worst nightmare. Tom I know your in a better place now because I lived it and know the power it has over the human soul, but it was way to soon, RIP Tom you will not be forgotten and Im going to remember the good nights w/ you I had before and after the shows.
Doggies we gotta look out for one another, and we have to be smarter than the devil. Nothing on this earth is worth the pain that this disease causes. I am so sorry so very very sorry my prayers are with you Tom and your loving family. :(

Damn I am so sorry to hear this news.

We had always talked about getting together when we were both living on the eastern shore but it never formulated. Talk about regrets.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all his family and friends.

Don't get around here much anymore but will forever miss seeing that name and his passion for the music.

((((Tom))))

Took this at the end of an awesome evening - Tom and I hit Leftover Salmon at the 9:30 Club last fall (10/6). Had a blast all night....we were laughing so hard. Needed some post-show grub and found ourselves in an Ethiopian restaurant a block or so away. More hilarity ensued:

Tom had a lot of friends evidently, and he was always smiling and joking whenever I ran into him.

I pray for his family/his Mom. I cant even imagine the heartache and loss.

May Tom's soul find eternal peace and light.

Thank you for sharing that video, Chez.
Let it be known: there is a fountain, that was not made by the hands of men.
There is a road, no simple highway, between the dawn and the dark of night.
And if you go, no one may follow; that path is for your steps alone.
