Tom was born May 1, 1966 and grew up in Prinsburg, Minnesota where he attended Central Minnesota Christian School. He graduated from Trinity College in Chicago and moved to Sioux Falls, South Dakota where he worked in banking. Tom loved to be with family, laugh, hang out with his many friends and hunt. He laughed and played card games better than anyone. He had a special fondness for hanging out with any family member, fostered by his early second home with his Great Aunt Minnie and Uncle Everett when he would wander away as a little boy he would always be found next door sitting at the table with them. He was generous and giving, from going up to strangers who looked like they needed help to making blankets for Children's Inn. He loved to mentor young colleagues and was known for his fairness and integrity. Tom had a strong and sustaining faith which informed all of his life. Tom lived fully and joyously until he was struck by the terrible illness of depression. Despite the support of professionals and family, he could not find his way through his suffering and sadness. He took his life and rejoins his earthly and heavenly fathers in heaven. He will be forever loved and missed by all of those of us who were privileged to have known him and loved him.
