Thomas Hyland Obituary

Such sad news! Heartfelt condolences to Patsy, Benjamin, Scotty, Lila and the entire family.

My sincerest condolences to Patsy and the family. Tom was a joy and a light at State Farm and will be greatly missed. I had the privilege of working with Tom in Dallas. I especially enjoyed his smile when sharing his story on adoption(s). He had a way of connecting with others and sharing the joy from within his soul. I pray you find some solace in the many positive memories with Tom. Thank you,

His love for God definitely showed in every interaction he had with everyone. Truly displayed the fruits of the spirit everyday. A great coworker who will be truly missed. My prayer of thanksgiving to God who will continue to hold Tom's family with a caring and compassion hand. "What a friend we have in Jesus...take it to the Lord in prayer".

Our sincere condolences Amy & Will Evans and to the family of Tom Hyland. We will keep you and your entire family in our thoughts and prayers as you rejoice in his life, love and memories he has give each of you forever. Sincerely, the family of Solutions Networking Corp

Deeply saddened.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss Patsy. Tom was a great guy & an awesome trainer at State Farm. He helped me tremendously in the overwhelming beginning of adjusting, as we all go through. We will all miss him and his smiling face as well as his eagerness to help anyway he could to help one succeed at doing a better job. My thoughts & prayers go out to you and the kids in this time of sadness. May God be with you and comfort you all.

I am so sorry for your loss. The world is a sadder place without Tom in it. He was one of the good guys and will be missed by all of his State Farm family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Tom was such a wonderful friend and co-worker. Deepest condolences to his family.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of your family today. The world was a better place because of Tom. He had a special energy about him that people gravitated toward. His smile and positive attitude was infectious. There was not a more dedicated family man. He will be forever missed.

We are heartbroken about your loss. Tom wore a friendly, smiling face while he worked and we looked forward to crossing paths with him. He cared about others and helped them to be the best they could be. A true asset in his line of work and in life. Tom, you are missed. Praying for comfort for your beautiful family and friends.

Patsy, your Tom, your husband and best friend was a special one of a kind friend to me. We met in 2011 when I was working on assignment on Beltline Rd. I remember you came to meet Tom for lunch and he introduced you. Tom was so good humored, funny and smart. It was infectious to be around Tom Hyland. I always wanted to be around him more. He became my favorite trainer to go to. When Larry and I worked with you Patsy, a couple years ago, I could feel how much Tom and you loved each other and your children. I knew you two were a perfect match for Tom after meeting and working with you. Larry and I are so heart broken for you and the kiddos. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

My condolences to the family. I am so sorry for your loss.

I never spoke to Tom when he did not have a smile and a positive attitude. One of my favorite people to work with. He made and impression on all of those around him. He will be missed. Prayers to his family and all who are feeling his loss.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Tom made such an impression on everyone he encountered. He will be fondly remembered.

I am so very sorry for your loss! My heart breaks for y'all. Tom was one of the absolute kindest people I've ever met and we are praying for you and the kids, Patsy. Please reach out if there is any way that we can help during this difficult time.

My heart weighs heavy for my friend and his family. Tom was an amazing man who I had the honor to work with. I met Tom in the late 1990's on Cat duty in NJ. Tom and one of his coworkers from the South always called me Yankee. It was a running joke for many years. When I went to Illinois in the earlier pat of the 2000's Tom came and visited me and we laughed about old times and the fun we all had in NJ. He always joked about my New York accent. Tom found out 2 years ago my husband and I adopted and was so extremely happy for us. I spoke to Tom a few months ago and he was trying to talk me into moving our family to Texas. In all the years I have known Tom, he was a great man, a kind soul. He loved his family, his kids and his wife. Heaven may have gained and angel but I know I will miss my friend. God bless Tom's family, wife and children. With my deepest sympathy

Our hearts grieve with your whole family! Tommy blessed and was blessed by each of you. May you sense God's love and peace at this difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Hyland family...Tom was a wonderful co-worker and friend within our State Farm Family. He was always so warm, friendly and genuine. He will be missed!
May you all find comfort and peace in the loving memories you hold in your hearts. God bless you...

Tom was an incredible person and a delight to work with. We had many occasions to work together, speak about family and God's blessings in our lives. He often stopped by my office just to ask a question and get my input, but it was usually I who learned something during those interactions. I wish I had known him more on a personal level, but reading his obituary, I get the sense the Tom I knew at work was the "real deal". God bless his family. He's in a better place and continuing to watch over all of you now.

Linda I am so sorry for the loss of your brother. My prayers are with you and family.

Words can not describe how much of a GREAT person Tom was. He was one of the nicest, thoughtful, and kind-hearted person I have ever meet. He made a positive impact on so many people's lives.

His legacy and what he stood for a person will live on in all of us.

To Tom's family: There are many of us who traveled to devastated places with Tom and became part of his extended family that you've never met. We share in your loss of a great friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you remember and celebrate this great man. I pray that God puts his arms around each of you in comfort.

Connie, no bond is as great as that between a parent and child. So very sorry for your loss.

Your Tommy was a wonderful gentle loving person. May God bless you and your family during this difficult time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. We are deeply sorry.

Patsy my heart aches for you and those beautiful children. You and Tom are very special people in my life and I know how you feel right now. Take time to grieve and God will see you through this. If I can do anything at all for you it would an honor to do so. I am here if you just need to talk, call me anytime.

My heart goes out to the entire Hyland Family and all relatives. I only met Patsy and Tom and their wonderful children, a few times, but I felt instantly the most loving connection. Connie, Tom's most beautiful mother always saw to me meeting everyone and lovingly brought me into family celebrations and holidays. This saddest of events--I Know--must be a deep burden of heart to all. Tom, I will very much miss getting to know you, but I promise I will learn much about you and always help your family members when they need me. Soar in the heavens as you have done so graciously here on earth.

Words can't begin to express the sympathy we feel on the untimely death of your dearest son, beloved husband, loving father, caring brother, and friend. He will be missed by everyone that knew him. The memories on 73rd Place will never be forgotten and when I started dating Rocco, I was accepted like I lived there my whole life. The block parties were the best!
I hope the expressions of sympathy that you must be receiving from everyone provide some consolation to you. Hopefully, knowing how much he was loved will give you a measure of comfort.
May God continue to hold you as you face the difficult journey of grief ahead. We love you.

Jennifer,

Sorry for your lost at this time. You and your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
