The world lost a good soul. Coach Comer was a great coach, and good friend in later years. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. Until we meet again. Thank you. Becky Foster Gullion
"Thank you coach!" Thank you for helping me grow from a boy to a man by having a firm but loving hand on my shoulder, for the subtle pat on the butt for encouragement rather than a kick with your foot, for pulling my head closer to you to quietly correct me rather than scream it across the field, for making me feel like I was the most special one out there and then quietly making the person next to me feel the same way. As I count those men and leaders in my life that truly made me a better person, not just an athlete, Tom "top cat" Comer is part of a special list. You cared, which meant SO much, and you'll always be remembered by SOOO many of us. A smile of gratitude, appreciation and love comes across my face when I think of this small giant of a man. Just as I started these comments, I say "Thank you coach,..thank you"!
Panther nation has lost a great man and coach. For the Panthers that weren't blessed with the opportunity to play for Coach Comer, you many not understand what an outstanding man and coach, he was to his players. Coach Comer was innovative with his football knowledge and plays, demanded a lot from his players, but coached in a caring way. Coach Comer, you will always be loved, admired and missed, but never forgotten.

The Panther Nation has lost one of our beloved leaders, Coach Tom Comer. Coach Comer was more than a Coach, he was a mentor to his beloved athletes and students. He taught life lessons that if one wanted to be successful one had to put in the work, time, effort, and dedication to meet the challenges that were in front of them. He wanted them to to be part of something larger than themselves, to understand they were not the center of the universe, that to be a member of society they had an obligation to use their abilities and talents to make our world a better place.
May our Heavenly Father welcome His Servant, Tom, home, and give comfort and peace to Maxine and her Family in knowing that Christ, our Redeemer, met Tom at Heaven’s Gate and said to Tom: “Well done my, Good and Faithful Servant. :latin_cross:️:pray::innocent:, Welcome Home.”
