Posted on Facebook by Tom's brother Douglas about 14 hours ago.
Dear Friends, it is with a heavy heart that I announce that my brother Tom Christopher passed away suddenly today. Tom was a Christian and lived as one to his family, loved ones, friends, and clients - loving God and loving others.
He loved and cherished his wife of 30 years, Heidi, and could never stop talking about his boys Travis, Adam, and Michael. Please pray for God’s true comfort and wisdom for Heidi and the boys. Tom and Heidi just celebrated their 30th anniversary with a cruise to Alaska. They spent time with each of their boys together and in recent trips to see Travis’ band in SF, Michael’s last hockey game in Missouri, and to see Adam pitch in Utah less than two weeks ago.
Besides being my brother and friend, Tom was a great son to Janice Christopher, a twin brother (younger by three minutes) and best friend to Margaret , and caring brother to Cathy. He was an amazing uncle to Tommy, Patrick, Cami, Angela, Kiley, and Alexis.
Tom played football (League Champions) and threw shotput (a CIF leader) at Burbank High School. He played football at CSUN and was a member of Csun Zeta Omicron Pi Kappa Alpha (stayed involved for decades).
In the late 80s and early-to-mid 90s Tom learned the Chinese street fighting art of Kung Fu San Soo where he earned a Black Belt (likely more than one).
Tom was an attorney who would never give up and eventually settled down to being a Trust attorney with his own Chrisopher Law Group in Porter Ranch.
There is much more. I will miss Tom greatly.
I have comfort that Tom loved Jesus.
Services could be this weekend. I’ll follow up with day and time when we know.
