Thomas Clinton Holmes, 44, of McKeesport, Pennsylvania, departed this life on Thursday, January 9, 2003.

Born in McKeesport, October 10, 1958, he was the son of the Reverend Sylvester Holmes of McKeesport and the late Patricia Randolph Holmes.

He is survived by his father, stepmother Betty Clark Holmes, daughter Tawmi Lynn Holmes, stepson Kriston Ryan, sister Petrie C. Holmes of Pittsburgh, brothers Ritchie A. Holmes and Vance Holmes of Minneapolis, MN, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives, and a host of friends.

He was a good-hearted person, affectionately known as "Tommy" or "Tom" and was a very smart and funny person. He enjoyed many things, including children, reading and sports -- which he was never very good at but those who knew him never told him so!

Tom accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, and would witness at the drop of a hat.
