Celebration of life services for Thomas Gene Knight, 59, of Whitewright, Texas will be held at 2pm Tuesday, September 5, 2023, at Eubank Funeral Home with Bro. Steve Glosup officiating. Visitation will be held 1 hour prior to service with burial at High Cemetery, Canton.
Tommy went home to the Lord on Wednesday, August 30, 2023, surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Dallas, Texas on February 7, 1964, to Thomas Gene and Annette (Lawley) Knight. Tommy (or T.K. as he was fondly known as by many) was always happy and smiling; his charming personality made him many friends along the way who will miss him. He enjoyed being sung to and would clap along with the music while wanting you to sing again and again. Birthday parties were a highlight but Tommy loved Christmas music all year and his favorite buddy was his Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer stuffed animal. He was also fascinated by windmills.
The family would like to extend their deepest appreciation to all the caregivers who took such wonderful care of Tommy throughout his lifetime. From the caring staff at Heart to Heart Hospice to his personal loving caregiver Dianna Nelson. There are those special people throughout life, the ones who deserve personal acknowledgement and gratitude, and Dianna rates among the highest. A selfless, dedicated Christian woman following a 20+ year calling to nurse those with "special needs" in any way necessary to bring them comfort, health and happiness. “Very few people can do the things you do and our family thanks you.”
Tommy is survived by his cherished parents BJ and Annette Tolly; his Aunts Colleen and Ruth; Uncle Mike and wife, Deborah; along with numerous cousins and other relatives. He is preceded in death by his grandparents and his Aunt Maxine.
In lieu of flowers, a gift to Heart to Heart Hospice in Tommy's memory would be appreciated. Their address is 600 E.Taylor Suite 3005, Sherman, TX 75090.
