Help the Hale Family Through Heartbreak

It’s with profound sadness and heartbreak that we share the unexpected loss of Tom Hale — a loving husband, devoted father, loyal friend, and someone who gave so much of himself to everyone around him.

Tom was truly one of a kind. He lived his life for others — always putting his family, friends, and community first. He was the rock of his family, spending every moment he could with his beloved wife, Tammy, and their two boys, Dan and Jake. Whether he was cheering from the sidelines or coaching their teams, Tom poured his heart into being present and supportive — not just for his own kids, but for countless others. He was a coach, a mentor, and a role model to so many in the community.

Recently, the Hale family had begun an exciting new chapter, moving into a home filled with dreams for the future. But in the midst of that new beginning, tragedy struck. And now, Tammy is left to carry not only the weight of unimaginable grief, but also the overwhelming responsibility of holding everything together for her sons.

Adding to the challenge, Tammy has been facing significant health issues in recent months, which has kept both her out of work for an extended period of time. The emotional and financial toll on the family is immense.

We are setting up this GoFundMe to help ease some of that burden — to give Tammy and the boys the time and space they need to grieve, to heal, and to find their footing again. Funds raised will go toward mortgage payments, and general living costs as they navigate this incredibly difficult chapter.

If you knew Tom, you know how much he gave — how fiercely he loved, how deeply he cared. This is our chance to show that same love and care to the family he held so dear.

Please consider donating, sharing this page, and keeping the Hale family in your thoughts and prayers. Every bit of support, no matter how big or small, makes a meaningful difference.

With love and gratitude,

Rich Cook
