Erin,
I apologize for the late date, but I just learned of Tom’s passing. Please accept my condolences. I was so blessed to have known him as he was a great encouragement to me at OBU. I will truly miss him. May God wrap you in his loving arms and sing over you with his love.

Erin,
I just now found out about Thomas. He was a tremendous Evangelist, who lead countless young people, and adults to Jesus! I am deeply saddened to hear of his untimely death, but know that he is sitting at the feet of Jesus, and praising the One he loved very much. Please know that you and the kids are in my thoughts and prayers. I’ll never forget how much I learned from Thomas while serving as a youth associate under him at Putnam City Baptist Church.
Love in Christ,
Tod Tucker
We have just heard of your family’s tragedy. We are shocked, devastated, and so very sorry for your loss. No words. We pray in heaving groans for each of you. Love and Peace, The Rodgers Evans GA
Our family was deeply grieved to hear of the loss of Thomas Young. He served as our Youth Minister at FBC McAllen for nearly two years and we and three of our four kids remember him personally. There seems no words adequate to offer for this tragedy. There is only persevering faith in God and His ultimate purposes, and trust in His sure love, which is able to sustain through a time of great trial and darkness.
Isaiah 45:3 speaks of treasures found in darkness, great riches found in secret places, and a deeply personal knowledge of God. May this Scripture prove true for you in time.
Erin, you and your family and your church have been constant in our prayers.
Love in Christ, Don & Bonnie Evans Family
Erin & Family,
I am broken hearted for you all and your church family. Cheryl and I both sorrow with you but not as those who have no hope. We know the Lord is still on the throne. I know He has good plans for you and that He will continue to work in and through you. Your lives have had and will continue to have profound impact for our Savior Jesus Christ. We will always treasure our time with you guys at FBC McAllen.
Love Ralph & Cheryl Green & Family.
Erin, Claudia, Morgan, Graham,
I lost my dad the same way 10 years ago. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Please contact me if you need to talk. The Lord can heal all pain, but I know it is hard. Just remember, you will see him again one glorious day.
Love,

Erin and children,
Please know that we are praying for all of you at this time and we know Thomas is with the Lord and the Lord is comforting and taking care of his family. Erin, please let me know if there is anything we can do for you. We so enjoyed the times Thomas came to preach at Valley Baptist here in Bakersfield and our short visits. We will write to you at your home address.
In His Love, Aunt Marilyn Young and family
I am praying for you and your children Erin as well as your church family. Know that you are loved and being lifted up daily.
Erin & Family

We love you,
Brian & Sandy McMillion

Erin,
I was privileged to minister at OBU with Thomas (and Joel) and was in the class of 90. My tears will not stop today watching the funeral. My husband and I have been in ministry for the past 14 years, married for 17 years, and our daughter’s name is also Morgan. My heart is with you, my sister, even though I’ve never met you!
May God heal your heart and hold you and your precious girls tight in the coming days.
In His Grip,
Terri Rawls
