With precious memories, we announce the passing of Thomas Eugene Hamilton, 67, of Maryville, TN.  He passed peacefully into eternity with His Heavenly Father on 6/24/2020 after many years of sickness.  He will be most remembered by all who knew him as a kind and generous soul who believed in the greatness of God, in the goodness of mankind and was man enough to stand up for those who needed his strength.  Tom was a man of many talents and skills.  He was a gentleman in the finest sense of the word.  He was strong and tall yet gentle and genuinely kind to all.  He never used his strength to hurt others and was known for being man enough to diffuse arguments without violence.  His love and kindness were felt by all who knew him.  He never met a stranger.  He spoke to everyone he met.  He will be greatly missed by all those left behind.  He is rejoicing in Heaven with His Lord and personal Savior as well as his parents and others that left before him.

Survivors include daughters Heather Parente, Holly Smith (Adam), Heidi Moses (Kevin) and Hillary Waters (Darris), beloved stepsons, David Hamilton (Elizabeth) and Lee Hamilton (Shelly), longtime companion Sherry Hamilton, grandchildren Nicholas, Gabrielle, Kaden, Sarah, Blythe, Tripp, Mary, Jett, Sean, Haeloh, Makayla and Austen.

Memorial service will be held at 3:00 PM Sunday, July 12, 2020 at Miller Funeral Home Magnolia Chapel.  The family will receive friends from 1:00 PM until 3:00 PM Sunday at Miller Funeral Home, Maryville.
