Thomas "Tom" Wilson, a man whose life was defined by service, compassion and quiet strength, passed away peacefully, leaving a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.

After high school, Tom joined the Vista Program, dedicating himself to helping the American Indian community.  In 1971, he enlisted in the United States Coast Guard, serving his country honorably.  Following his discharge, he explored many paths before discovering his true calling in emergency services.  Earning his EMS certification, Tom joined the Galveston Fire Department, where he devoted over 20 years to protecting and caring for his community until his retirement.

He will be deeply missed by all who know him.
