He was born May 16, 1958 in Alleghany County to James Robert and Gladys Juanita Nichols. Tommy loved life and being with those he loved so much. He always put God first, family second and all his friends run a close second to his family. There will never be another one like him. If he was your friend, he meant every word he ever said to you, and was there for you no matter what. He also would have fought through fire for his two grandsons, Keegan and Ethan, they were the biggest reason he fought this cancer for so long.
