Tommy Bullock, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of love, faith, and kindness.

After graduating from Monticello High School, Tommy proudly served his county in the United States Airforce. While stationed in Germany, he met the love of his life, Erna, on a blind date-a meeting that led to nearly 64 years of marriage.
Following his military service, Tommy and Erna returned to the United States, settling on the family's land, where they raised three children together.

In 1974, Tommy started his own business, founding Bullock's TV, a business he successfully ran for 30 years. Beyond his career, he had a passion for supporting his community. For several years, he coached Little League baseball, often sponsoring teams through his business. Later, he could be found in the announcer's booth, calling games, keeping score, and running the scoreboard.
Tommy's love for the outdoors was evident in his favorite pastimes-hunting, fishing, and taking family vacations to the Smoky Mountains. At home, he found joy in growing fresh vegetables for his family and community, a tradition he carried on until just last spring.
A man of deep faith, Tommy was an active and beloved member of Bethel Baptist Church. He loved singing in the choir and listening to gospel music, which brought him closer to his Savior.

Tommy was known for his love of people, good conversations, and oh how he loved to laugh. His family and friends will remember his warmth, his unwavering devotion, and his ability to brighten any room. Above all, Tommy adored his family, especially his great-grandchildren, who he often said kept him going.

Tommy's faith was the cornerstone of his life, and he looked forward with joy to reuniting with his beloved Erna in the presence of Jesus.
He leaves behind a family and community that will forever cherish his memory and the impact he made on their lives. His love, laughter, and legacy of kindness will never be forgotten.
