He steadfastly fought, on every level of the Texas government, for biker rights. His travels took him as far as California to the west and Florida to the east. He stayed on top of things so he could educate bikers on things that concerned their freedom, rights and lifestyle. His goal was to have every motorcycle rider in Texas a registered, educated and active voter.
Big Tom was also an active member of The Last Few M/C in Odessa. He held National Road Captain at the time of his death. Tom was a member in good standing for the last 15 years.

Tom left numerous brothers and sisters in his death. Tom considered The Last Few M/C his family and made every effort to spend time with every one of them.
When Tom left the clubhouse to take a little ride, you never knew how long it would be until you saw him again. But you knew in a week or two you’d hear that big Harley headed to the house. Then you could count on several hours of entertainment listening to his tales of woe.
Tom, ride long and hard, brother. When the time comes, we’ll ride with you again. We love and miss you, brother. Ride free forever. LFFFLF
