We are devasted to share that Tommy Munoz an employee of Clark Pacific from the Woodland Plant passed away on October 27th, 2020. His death was sudden and unexpected due to a horrible car accident. He was 39 years old, born in Oceanside CA, and became a Woodland resident at the age of 19.
He started his journey with Clark Pacific in 2016. He was part of Facades Vertical for the last couple of years. Tommy had a big impact on everyone he worked with and he was a part of important accomplishments and projects done by Clark Pacific. Tommy was part of the Apple Project on 8-8-2016. He was trained to operate the multimillion-dollar honing/polishing machines. Tommy was responsible for honing the faces of the 20”, 34”, and 36” void slabs, as well as running the auxiliary heads that cut all bullnose edges. Tommy also detailed and patched these panels as well.
After Apple Tommy worked out in the ribbed floor area during all the improvements made during the last 6 months of the job including being a part of fulling inclosing the back-tubs on PO1 and PO2, and installing the remote control vibrators on the same 2 lines.
After completion of the ribbed floors Tommy moved with half the crew over to work on Great Wolf planks, and then into the 6088 Planks where he was part of a first wherein the team pretty much cast green throughout the entire job. Meaning the panels were in storage within 24 hours of casting.
Tommy and the other key team members then moved to Facades and worked on 1504, 1520, and 1513. Then around May of this year, Tommy was at the top of the list to work on another Apple project. Tommy was going home to where he had started. We started the Apple beam cover job in May, and due to an entirely new system (couldn’t use the honing machines), the team struggled for the first month. We decided to make a change and replace 2 Wizard machine operators with Just Tommy. After about a week of Tommy getting familiar with Wizards, he was able to hone the surfaces and cut the edges of 6 to 7 panels a day. This allowed us to downsize our crew, yet become more efficient at the same time.
One of the last things Tommy worked on was the Shasta courthouse job. Tommy had a key role in the polishing of the California State Seal panel, as well as the other polished panel on that job.
It needs to be said that throughout all the jobs mentioned above Tommy was always at the top of our list when putting together the team that would move on together to the next job, and all the foreman wanted Tommy on their team. He is and will be greatly missed.
Tommy will be remembered overall for being a great husband, father, brother, son, and friend loved by all. He is described as a person full of happiness, made everyone's day better, genuinely had love for everyone, positive character, and always put his family first.
His presence and input will be greatly missed among his co-workers and anyone who got the chance to meet him.
Please consider helping his loved ones, his wife, and his four kids through this difficult time as they navigate this tragedy and move forward in life without him. Donations will go directly to his wife Julie Munoz and children.
