Tommy Alexander Brantley passed away March 4, 2014 at his home peacefully in the presesence of family, surrounded by their love and warmth.
He was born on August 22, 1937 to Leamon and Lorene Brantley, in McAdoo, Texas. He was the sixth child of eight and the youngest son. He was a family man who loved and cared very much for all of them.
Tommy met his wife Cornelia Lambert in McAdoo, Texas in 1953. They later married in 1956 and began their family with three sons.
He worked all his life in the agricultural industry, ginning and farming cotton. His job took him many places including Crosbyton, Midkiff, Lamesa, Pecos, Grandview, Lancaster and last McAdoo where he spent the majority of his early life.
He was a very simple man who shyed away from crowds. The most he would go out in public was for the annual meeting where he did the cooking at the McAdoo Co-op Gin.
He enjoyed many things in life like watching bullriding, fishing and hunting with his sons and close friends, just to name a few.
He is survived by his wife, Cornelia Brantley of Crosbyton, TX; three sons, Thomas Michael of Little Elm, TX., Garry Glenn of Crosbyton, TX and Jerry Lynn of Lamesa, TX; numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren; sister Cleon Pruitt of Lubbock, TX; a host of nieces and nephews and many other family members.
