Thomas M. Dove

He was born on July 23, 1965 to Jack and Patricia (Balderson) Dove in Fontana, California. Tom worked as a carpenter and had a brilliant and creative passion for wood working. He enjoyed being outdoors, especially trout fishing, camping and kayaking. He proudly served in the US Navy as a quartermaster on the USS Ranger. He was a loyal friend to many, a dedicated worker & loved his family more than anything. Tom lived and loved the simple life. It was never about what he had but who he had that mattered most to him. His gentle nature, kind heart and his carefree spirit are what he will be remembered for.
