It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Tommie Benford, who passed away on April 27, 2024, in Houston City, Texas, United States. Born on September 22, 1957, to proud parents Gene Sampson and Lucy Jane Benford.

Tommie leaves behind their beloved child, Deshaun Riley, who he loved dearly! He was mechanic at Halls Electric before retiring in 2004. He also served in the Army as a dedicated soldier.

Tommie was known for their love of mechanics, fishing, and entertainment. They could often be found tinkering in the garage, casting a line out on the water, or enjoying a movie or concert with friends and family.

Although Tommie may be gone, their memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved them. They will be dearly missed.
