He grew up in Westgate and graduated from Westside High School where he was a proud member of the 1982 football state championship team before earning his degree in Criminal Justice from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Tom loved his family, faith, football, food, traveling and golden retrievers.

Prayers to you Tracy and your family. Also to the entire Stock family during this difficult time.
As you all know, Tom and I were best friends growing up. I didn’t know he loved golden retrievers like he did, but one of our neighbors back in the day had a golden retriever. I will never forget how this golden retriever loved bit Oh Honey candy that we used to feed him all of the time to get his attention. RIP my friend……
I’m so sorry for your loss. He was such an amazing and the nicest man
Praying for comfort during this time, knowing that Tom is at peace in Heaven. Where he is probably giving out nicknames.
I am so sorry for the loss of Tom. My deepest condolences and prayers are with your whole family as you grieve the loss of an amazing man.
Tom’s legacy will live on through the many lives he touched. Sending your family infinite love and continued support.
Tom was truly a beautiful soul, to know him was to love him. His memory will live on in our hearts forever. Heartfelt. condolences to the entire Stock family.
I was in Tom’s class at Westside. I remember him as being that popular football player who was so much fun and was kind to EVERYONE. Later in life, I met his sister, Sue, through her husband, and my running pal, Jim. All of you are in my prayers as you celebrate the life of a really great guy, and welcome him home to enternal life with our Lord, Jesus.
We send our love and prayers to the family, our son Scott was on the Westside Football Team with Tom
Sending prayers and peace to all who loved Tom. He was my neighbor in westgate for 18+ years. We use to play kick ball, hide and seek and get into all kinds of trouble in the neighbor hood. Tom use to have this voice he’d use all the time mimicking our parents and parents of the neighborhood, it was quite funny. Tom, Larry and others would come hang out on our front porch cause we always had to be home by 10. Tom could stay out way longer then us lol. Tom was funny and a great guy. He was a big part of our childhood Westgate fun. He will be missed.
Tom was such a gentle soul. His constant smile when we hung out together at grandma Benak‘s house or just as cousins do and families. I know his loss is so hard for those on earth, and losing a sibling is heartbreaking! He is now in heavenly glory surrounded by Jesus Almighty and all those loved ones. Hugs prayers and condolences to all of you
Rest in peace brother. We sure had some good conversation and lots of laughs!
God’s blessings on Tracy and the family.
You will be missed.
