62 year old Thomas Freeland “Tommy” Gibbs of Alexandria died Sunday at St. Thomas Midtown in Nashville. He was a truck driver and member of the Upper Helton Baptist Church.
There is no one who loved life more. Tommy was a devoted husband, father, and friend, but he loved being a grandfather the most. He loved to sing, do imitations, and give anyone and everyone a hard time. He was truly a character and enjoyed life to the fullest. He will be greatly missed.
