He was born on March 22, 1967, in Sterling, Illinois, to David Thompson and Jean-ann Pestrol.
Tommy married Debra McPherson on December 11, 2004, and together they built a life filled with love, laughter, and countless memories.
A man who felt most at home in the outdoors, Tommy loved to camp, fish, and hunt. When he wasn’t out enjoying nature, he could almost always be found in the garage, tinkering with his vehicles—a pastime that brought him joy, pride, and peace.
Tommy shared a special bond with his beloved dog, Dina, who was never far from his side. Whether they were out running errands or relaxing after a long day, Dina was his loyal companion, and their connection brought him comfort and happiness throughout his life.
Tommy will be remembered for his easygoing spirit, his love of simple pleasures, and the way he made every place feel a little more like home.
