Thomas Joseph Carbone Jr.

Tom (TJ) was so smart and so handsome and such a good hearted person. He was funny, silly, goofy, and always up for a laugh. He loved hard and well. He’s my favorite person, my babiest Bubba, and not a day passes that he’s not terribly missed.

I don’t know that I have a favorite. Every single memory is a piece of my heart and every single thing about him will be missed for the remainder of my days in this realm. He never stopped his baby talk. Only with me. We’d still have full conversations, using nothing but TJ baby-speak. Those were always great.

His laugh. He had the most infectious laugh and you just couldn’t help but to laugh with him. He loved making people happy.

My beautiful brother should be remembered as the truly loving soul that he was. His family and friends meant everything to him. And if he cared for you, he’d give you the shirt off his back if he even thought you might need it. He looked forward to helping others and took so much pride in being able to offer sound advice...even if he wasn’t always good at taking his own advice. My sweet Bebop...your Chickadee loves you all the much, for all of time.
