Tom was gifted November 11, 1944 to Euphrasia and Patrick McMahon of Omaha. Thomas lived in Omaha, NE and Denver, CO most of his formative years. He attended St. Cecilia’s Cathedral and University of Nebraska at Omaha, and graduated from Omaha School of Commercial Art. Tom was in sales most of his adult life, having worked for Vicks Chemical, Homelite/Textron and Yellow, Inc. Tom and Pam were united in marriage on August 7, 1965.

Tom never met a stranger, as he would soon engage them in conversation. Tom was the ultimate storyteller, always with ab lib and embellishments.

Left to cherish his memory are his wife of 54 years, Pam; sons, Thomas D. (Lisa) and Michael, all of Des Moines, and Matthew (Angela) of Atlanta, GA; two cherished grandchildren, Vivian Rose and Dawson John; brother-in-law, David; sister-in-law, Katie; and his first cousins who were like brothers and sisters to Tom, as he was an only child, Oakley (Katie) Gibbs of Omaha, NE, Gerald (Sherry) Gibbs of California, Bob (Lisa) Gibbs of Naples, FL, Bruce Gibbs and Kathy Gibbs, both of Omaha. Tom was preceded by his parents; his in-laws, Wilton and Louise Hough; his special Aunt Kathleen; and his golden companions, Kramer, Newmann and Murphy

Tom’s favorite moments were being with his family whom he loved dearly. He also had a close bond with his many friends, including the “GG” and enjoying an annual trip to Clear Lake. Tom also enjoyed fishing, traveling, classic rock n roll, concerts and dabbling in his art talent.
