Tommy Meek

Tommy Meek was born on March 25, 1950, in Selmer, Tennessee, to the late JR and Martha Thurmond Meek. He passed away on June 7, 2025, at the age of 75.

On October 2, 1993, Tommy was united in marriage to Phyllis Tedford, sharing a life filled with love and companionship. He was a longtime resident of the Hickory Flat Community in Adamsville.

Tommy’s career spanned several roles, including insurance salesman, carpenter, and most recently, a janitor at Michie Elementary School. His dedication and hard work were evident in everything he did. A faithful member of Mt. Sharon Presbyterian Church in the Gilchrist Community, he found joy in singing with the congregation.

In his leisure time, Tommy enjoyed watching sports, riding horses, and fishing. He took great pride in maintaining a weed-free yard and keeping his vehicles clean.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Phyllis Meek of Selmer, TN; his daughter, Lauren Jones and her husband Johnathan of Selmer, TN; his son, Josh Meek and his wife Rachel of Palm City, FL; three cherished granddaughters, Nola, Lana, and Joli Meek; as well as a host of extended family and friends who will miss him dearly.

Tommy was preceded in death by his brother, Tim Meek.

As we remember Tommy, we celebrate a life filled with love, dedication, and a profound impact on those around him. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew him.
