Tommy Gene McBride passed away on December 19 surrounded by family and friends, just like in life. Born on December 14, 1963, in Chicago Heights Illinois to the late Arthur and Elizabeth (Sharkey) McBride, he was the youngest of six siblings.

Tommy enjoyed being outside - whether it was hiking, four-wheeling, playing with RC Cars, or just hanging out. He watched an array of television and movies from racing to animals, to action and thrillers. He enjoyed rock and old country music.

Tommy had worked at R & R Components for 21 years.

Tommy is survived by two brothers Danny (Vickie) and Jeff (Carol) McBride as well as two sisters, Penny (Bryan) Monroe and Peggy Diffenderfer, as well as many nieces and nephews and many great-nieces and great-nephews. In addition to his parents, Tommy was proceeded in death by his older brother, Terry, and his wife Liz (Elizabeth), and his niece, Sheri Diffenderfer.

There will be no service as Tommy's wishes are to be spread over Blue Ridge Mountain down Skyline Drive. 

In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution to White Rose Hospice, who has helped tremendously in the end-of-life stage.
