Message from Brenda A. Lambert

Even though I did not know Mr. Hobson personally, I am so sorry to hear of his passing. Walker High School has some great educators and I am sure he was a wonderful assistant principal. This is my grandson's, Jase Fowler, senior year and he is saddened about Mr. Hobson. Praying that God wraps all of his family in his loving arms and gives you peace and strength during this difficult time.

Message from Dave and Johnna Cason

Tommy loved everybody and everybody, students, teachers, coaches and players, loved him here in Monticello. Some people just leave, but some people leave a big hole in hearts and minds. Tommy left a big hole on earth and Heaven is richer today for his arrival. My best man in our marriage - he was often the best man in the room wherever he went. Our sympathies and condolances to Tommy's family.

Sorry to the family for your loss, Tommy was a good friend from our crazy days at UAM. We spent one crazy christmas vacation trying to get our grades in order to be eligible to be able to play ball the next semester. Hadnt seen Tommy since our days at UAM but glad to here that he went on to be a great man and beloved teacher, he will never be forgotten. Boll Weevils and Mean Green for life!

Message from Arville C. Benton Jr.

Many young men and women I shared time with in FCA meetings in high school touched my heart, Tommy was one of those special ones. I've always wondered where he started his career in life. From what I've seen and heard his love God blessed him was carried through all aspects of his life. Prayers for family, I know there are no words I could say right now to comfort and give you a peace but I will pray for your family.

Message from Jasper Al

I spent a lot of time in Coach Hobson's office for a lot of different reasons. So I would like to think that I knew him pretty well. About a year ago I was riding my motorcycle and I saw that red Dodge Ram at a gas station so I pulled in there and after 8 and a half years of not being in school as soon as he saw me he called me by name and asked how I had been. I have only met a few teachers that can remember my name without me telling them. So I would also like to think that he knew me pretty well too. But that's just the kind of guy he was. I pray for peace and comfort for the family in this difficult time. Death is not a sad time but a time to rejoice he is no longer in this cruel world but with the Father for all eternity.

remember him well. We will all be remembering him with kindness.

Message from Kristopher Nelson - WHS Class of 2006

I am extremely sorry for the loss of Coach Hobson. Tommy was such a great influence in the lives of everyone he came in contact with. In high school he and I never really saw eye to eye. But how many teenagers ever do . Looking back though, him being tough on me helped shape me into the man I am today. Wish I could tell him thank you. God bless him and his family. And may his memory live on.
