Thomas Marvin “Tommy” Comer, 64, of Farnham, passed away at home on November 19, 2020. Tommy was retired from the H. Warshow company, where he had worked for many years as a machine operator. Born in Richlands, Virginia, he was the son of the late James Comer and Virginia Patrick Comer.
Tommy will be missed by the family he cherished. He is survived by his daughters Priscilla Comer and Vanessa Comer, both of Tappahannock; his eight grandchildren: Jasmine, Andre, Adrianna, Alaysia, Alycia, Takeyo, Keymonae and Deriona; seven great-grandchildren: Londyn, Skylar, Aubree, Kaisen, Madison, Mason and Talen; his sisters: Katherine Broyles of Warsaw, Va., Linda Comer of Abington, Va. and JoAnn Maxwell of Richlands, Va; and his brother Robert Comer of Lebanon, Va. Tommy was predeceased by his parents; his sisters Martha Martin and Brenda Kennedy; and his brothers James William Comer and Jimmy Wayne Comer.
Skilled at outdoor sports, Tommy really enjoyed hunting and fishing and being outside. An avid sports fan, he enjoyed cheering on the Essex High School Trojans and was a big supporter of the school and the team. Tommy loved to dance, especially to George Jones. Above all, however, he loved his family.
A funeral will be held on Monday, November 23, 2020 at Farnham Baptist Church at 2:00 p.m., with the Reverend Penney officiating. Interment will follow in the church cemetery. The family asks that in lieu of flowers a contribution to the Essex Trojans, 833 High School Circle, Tappahannock, VA 22560, be made in Tommy’s name.
