    Dear Bruce and Mindy,
    I am so beyond saddened to hear of this. Gosh, I have so many memories of you both, including the happiness you both had when Thomas was born. My Catfish Lake memories go back many, many years – even into my childhood – and those memories will forever hold you both, as well as Thomas. I always remember his smile. Praying for peace and serenity for you both.
    Love Always,
    Dawn Ayala (Debbie and Dennis’ daughter)

    My deepest condolences to Thomas’s family. This broke my heart when I heard of his passing. We met at a concert for our mutual friend and became friends. I will miss him, even though we didn’t talk every day.. Thomas, you were loved by many and you will be missed by all who knew you.

    Will forever remember our CFL days, so much to say but can’t find the words. Fighting one minute, joking around the next. The infamous ranch fight brings a smile to this day. Rest easy Friend. Gone too soon but will never be forgotten.

  • Steven Shipman Posted January 21, 2022 10:25 am

    Bruce, and family: In all honesty, I just happened upon this on Wednesday and returned on Thursday for the boxcast as a witness to your sons life. It quickly became apparent that you raised an extraordinary young man, and that the world is now a lesser place in his absence. With my sincere condolences, my old friend…..

  • Shari Haskins Posted January 21, 2022 11:44 pm

    I am so sorry for your loss. There are no words that can describe the way your hearts feel. I will pray that time and fond memories will help. My heart goes out to your family.
