ASTRONAUT TOM
Tom was born to Malina and Blake on October 15, 1988 in Layton, Utah. Tom grew up in Davis County, Utah. He attended Clearfield High School, and went on to attend Weber State University, pursuing a degree in Computer Science.
In 2000, Tom met JaBrael and together they had two beautiful children, Brinlee Rose (Wittle Bug) and Parker Thomas (Mr. Meatball). Tom’s children were his greatest joy and he was always so proud of everything they did. He kept pictures of them with him at all times.
Tom dedicated his life to helping others. The resident handyman, he would take on the task of fixing anything. He offered a solution to any problem presented to him. It didn’t matter if you were a stranger or a close acquaintance, he would have given anyone his last taco. Tom served his fellow humans through many occupations. His most passionate phrase was ‘Pay it Forward.’
Next to his kids, Tom’s biggest passion in life was music. He was an avid bass, guitar, and keyboard player. He spent countless hours writing, recording, and mixing his own music. Tom started his own band, Until Today, and loved performing the songs he made. He would want his music to live on. He referred to himself, and would prefer to be remembered as Astronaut Tom, inspired by the song ‘The Astronaut’ by Something Corporate.
His music will be available for purchase on bandcamp; all proceeds will go towards his children's Trust Fund. You can access that link here: Astronaut Tom
