Tommy Meadows

Tommy Ray Meadows, 64, of Bloomington Springs, Tennessee, passed away on February 2, 2014. Born January 10, 1950, in Jackson County, Tommy was a longtime member of the Bloomington Springs Church of Christ and worked for many years as a supervisor at SEC Enterprises. He was a dependable presence in the lives of his family and neighbors, known for his steady work ethic and commitment to those he loved.

Tommy is survived by his sons Michael Ray (Rebecca) Meadows of Baxter, Tommy Wayne Meadows of Baxter, Danny (Diane) Meadows of Silver Point, and Josh Meadows of Bloomington Springs; seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild; brothers Charles Meadows of Baxter and Junior (Irene) Meadows of Bloomington Springs; and sisters Evelyn (Kenny) Maynard of Cookeville, Ruby (Joe) Manier of Cookeville, and Frances Meadows of Bloomington Springs. He was preceded in death by his parents, Dent Meadows and Dee Hammock Meadows, and several siblings.

Funeral services were held with family and friends gathering to honor his life and memory. Those who knew him remember a man who took pride in providing for his family and who valued his ties to church and community. While words can never fully capture a life, those who loved Tommy recall his quieter strengths: a reliable hand in times of need, a respect for faith and family, and the ordinary kindnesses that knit a community together.

Tommy’s life leaves a legacy through his children and grandchildren and in the many small, practical ways he supported those around him. He will be remembered by family and friends who cherish the memories of his presence, his labors, and the comfort of shared fellowship.
