Mr. Tommy Lee Shilling Sr., of Waco, TX passed away on Tuesday, June 23, 2020 at the age of 69.
Tommy was born to parents Billy Shilling Sr. and Oleta Tyler Hughes on August 20, 1950 in Waco, TX. He grew up with four other siblings and attended Jefferson Moore. Although he did not finish school, he became a carpenter, but he really is a jack of all trades. He did not have many hobbies, but he did love playing golf with his sons.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
Tommy is survived by Rita Shilling and their 4 children; Tommy Shilling Jr., David Shilling, Amanda Shilling, and Tommy Shilling III. He has 8 grandchildren along with 1 great grandchild; his 3 brothers and 1 sister; Billy Shilling Jr., Harold Shilling, Marvin Shilling and Marilyn Shilling-Trevino. He also leaves behind multiple nieces and nephews, cousins, and friends.
We will have a memorial service for Tommy at Cornerstone Baptist Church on July 4 at 11 a.m. He asked to be cremated so there will be no burial. The family is grateful for the condolences but will accept flowers and donations.
