Thomas was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church where he was baptized, made his communion and was confirmed.

Thomas was a friendly, funny, hardworking and helping guy. Friends knew him as “Tommy” and “Tom-Tom.” To family, he was “Jr.”  He was very proud to be a father to his daughter, Evelyn Grace Espinoza, and it showed in his actions. Tommy had a strong passion for working and would always lend a helping hand anyway he could. He will truly be missed by all.

The family wants to thank Angel Deleon’s funeral home, our friends, family and extended family with St. Mary’s Church and especially Father Alberto for all the support, guidance and efforts made to be there for us in the loss of our beloved brother, son and father Thomas Espinoza, Jr.
