Thomas Karsell - Site web commémoratif en ligne

Tom was one of the few I needed to find and thank for his contribution in making me the person I am today.  It has been years upon years since I have seen him yet my thoughts drifted towards him often.  The memories I have of him are hard to separate because they all consisted of Tom being positive, laughing, and most of the time babysitting me.  He was a rebellious teenager that loved his family and loved his friends.  My life is better for knowing him and I just want to thank his family for sharing such a wonderful person.  Thank you Tom for giving me some of your life and you will live on because I can't forget you.

Love,

Todd

My deepest condolences.  May these few words from the Holy Scriptures bring you comfort in your time of grief...

John 11:32-45

32 And so Mary, when she arrived where Jesus was and caught sight of him, fell at his feet, saying to him: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews that came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and became troubled; 34 and he said: “Where have YOU laid him?” They said to him: “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus gave way to tears. 36 Therefore the Jews began to say: “See, what affection he used to have for him!” 37 But some of them said: “Was not this [man] that opened the eyes of the blind man able to prevent this one from dying?”

38 Hence Jesus, after groaning again within himself, came to the memorial tomb. It was, in fact, a cave, and a stone was lying against it. 39 Jesus said: “TAKE the stone away.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: “Lord, by now he must smell, for it is four days.” 40 Jesus said to her: “Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” 41 Therefore they took the stone away. Now Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that you sent me forth.” 43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Laz´a·rus, come on out!” 44 The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them: “Loose him and let him go.”

45 Therefore many of the Jews that had come to Mary and that beheld what he did put faith in him;

You were taken from us too soon man. I was a friend of Tom's in the early 90's, and have so many fond memories from that time. I will always remember punk rock music, cigerettes, warhammer 40K, and the feeling like we were invincible. S.L.O. bro...

Dear Kimberly,

Our hearts are with you and we just wanted to know that we are here on the mountain anytime that you need someone to talk to or anything at all. You are welcome at our house any time at all. Please just stop by or call us if you need anything. ~ Love Elicia & David

To Kim we are so sorry to hear of your lose, we would just like you to know our thoughts are with you through these difficult times and that for the short time we knew Tom that he will be missed mate.

I met Tom when he first came to CO from TX.  We had so much fun and got in (and out) of so much trouble together as teens (and a bit older as well).  I will miss him so and will always remember him as one of my oldest and dearest friends.  He was a guy that truly loved life and always had your back.  He was the social butterfly of our group and introduced me to many new (and lifelong) friends.  I can't begin to say how much he meant to my friends and I, a truly cool human being.  Laters brother, we will meet again!

I haven't seen or talked to Tom in years, but was such a huge part of my teenage years and early twenties I feel like a piece is gone. He was always such a light to those around him and I know that everyone who has known and cared for Tom will be missing that light. My condolences and love to his family.

Kimberly, our hearts go out to you and every member of Tom's family.  Deepest sympathies. You will be in our thoughts.  From reading this site, I can see Tom was surrounded with much love. 

I remember the first time I met Tom. My car broke down and Shalei called him to see if he could help us out. My first thoughts were - this guy is a crazed maniac behind the wheel. He certainly knew how to keep things interesting. We had a lot of fun together at shows, parties, clubs, camping, BBQs, you name it. I will always cherish the smiles, the laughs, the drunken ramblings and the friendship we shared.
