Bringing Tommy Home
Donation protected
Our brother Thomas Alton Benton passed away on November 9th, at the age of 24. Tommy had a way of lighting up any room he walked into. He had a sense of humor like no other, he always wanted to lift people up when they were down. He had a heart of gold and loved his friends and family beyond measure. He always wanted each person he knew to know how loved they were. He marched to the beat of his own drum and was wise beyond his years. He always had the right thing to say, even if it was too much, or completely inappropriate.
He grew up with a love for animals and nature. He spent a lot of time with his pets, fishing, and going on hikes. He had a love for movies and music. He could remember every line to any movie and song, after only hearing it once. He had an eclectic taste in music, from Eminem to Pink.
Despite growing up, he was still a kid at heart, always texting his sisters asking for their Disney Plus password. He enjoyed video games. He grew up playing the Simpsons Road Rage and Spongebob with his siblings, to now playing Fortnite with his buddies. He had a sweet tooth and had an appetite for junk food. But he appreciated making a home cooked meal. On the rare occasion he drank, it was so he could enjoy a strawberry margarita, blended!
He was always entertaining whether he was putting on heeley shows in the basement as a kid, or spitting original raps into adulthood. He was a born comedian, always making those around him laugh uncontrollably.
Most important to him, he loved spending time with his family.
Tommy was born in Fridley Minnesota, and grew up around the Elk River area. He then found himself in Colorado, where he was close to his brother, Matt.
Despite the distance, the bond with all of his loved ones remained strong.
We could go on, but the point is, he will be missed immensely. He was truly one of a kind!
With Tommy living in Colorado, and this unexpected tragedy we need to bring our baby brother home, where we can lay him to rest.
We are overwhelmed by the love and support that we have received since his passing and we appreciate any help that is given.
Donations will be used to help cover the cost for travel and arrangements.
"Siblings are the people who teach us about life. They teach us what it means to be kind and caring, to be fair and to know we will not always be right. They teach us about teamwork, conflict resolution, and most importantly they teach us what it is to love and be loved"
