Tom was born May 18, 1973, to Charles Ferguson and Sondra Levy in Fort Riley, KS. He graduated from Harrisonville High School with the Class of 1991 and entered the world with an open heart, seeking to become his best self. He joined the United States Air Force before moving into various jobs that would see him doing everything from construction to bar security to working with the clients of CASCO and acting as Santa Claus on the Polar Express. Through it all, his real vocation was in serving his fellow man and seeking to bring joy and laughter into the world. A friend, a support, a believer in fresh starts and forgiveness.

Tom leaves behind his wife, Christina; his son, Dalton Ferguson, and his children: Peyton and Lumen; his son and daughter-in law, Micheal and Akimma Young, and their children: Rykin and Anastasia; his mother, Sondra Levy; his sister, Elizabeth, and her husband, Ira, and their children: Christian and Kira; and dozens of others who knew him, loved him, and will feel the loss of his warm and caring presence in their lives. As they move forward without him, they carry with them his humor and his desire to make this world a kinder place.
