Thom was kind, brilliant, creative, unconventional. I learned so much from and with him, starting in the 7th grade, when I first met him at Bonneville Jr. High. We used to take long, long walks and talk about philosophy, politics, history. After high school, we lost touch for years, but in the past year we started those long talks again, by phone. He was a big part of my youth, present with me at some of the most formative times. I'm so sad to see him go. There was always so much more to talk about. My love and condolences to Nancy and the rest of his family. I wish I could be there today.

Thom, There simply are not any words that express my thankfulness for your friendship. There has never been nor ever will be anyone that matches you in your thoughtfulness, kindness and acts of service to others. I count myself as honored to have met you and spent quality time since 2010. The knowledge you freely shared with me, and its proper application, are unmatched. My life went off course since you left. Like you taught me, I'll just keep pressing forward toward my goals, and trust my intuition as I navigate the multiverses. I'll always miss you and your guidance. Blessed be, Dex
