Tom's nickname for many years has been, "Crash", and that's what everyone knew him by. He worked most of his life as a mechanic working on motorcycles, as this was his biggest passion in life. Crash was a devoted motorcycle enthusiast; but beyond his love of riding was an even greater gift, his enormous heart. Though his final ride has ended, his memory will forever travel with those who were fortunate to know him. 

Crash is survived by his wife, Susan Witham; sister, Pam Cottle, as well as a niece, two nephews, several great nieces and nephews, along with his biker family. 

A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, August 7th, 2026, from 6pm - 8pm, at Crossroads 44, located at 36721 CR 19A, Eustis, Florida 32726.

Arrangements are under the careful care of Allen J. Harden Funeral Home.
