My heart goes out to Tommy's family and friends. I first met him when I was attending UW-Whitewater. His intensity and dedication to his country and community struck me as amazing from the moment I met him. In the past several years we haven't been in contact as much, but we did talk occasionally when he was in Iraq.
To his family - I'm so sorry for your loss, he was an incredible person, a true example of a good man, a kind man with a good heart and a beautiful soul.
Tommy, I'm so sorry.
