On May 9, 1943, Thomas Allen Calhoun was born in Mansfield, Louisiana to Maurice Riemer Calhoun and Clista Andrews Calhoun and passed away, Wednesday, August 24, 2022 in Shreveport, Louisiana.

With his horse, TwoBits and his many friends, Tommy grew up in Mansfield and graduated from Mansfield High School. He went to Baylor University and became a life-long Baylor Bears fan and a life-long “brotherby-choice” to his roommates. Tommy married his college sweetheart, Beverly Ann Presley, on June 24, 1967. They had three sons, Kirk, Allen, and Clay, whom they also reared in Mansfield. Tommy called the 5 of them a “unit.” Because both Allen and Clay died in 2000 and Kirk in 2020, Beverly and Tommy longed to be reunited with them in heaven. Beverly joined her sons in 2021, and now Tommy is there, also. They are a “unit” once more, in the embrace of GOD.
