He was born on February 14, 1969 in Lewiston, the son of Wilbur and Patty (Berthaume) Souther. Tom was a 1988 graduate of Jay High School.

He was a loving and devoted father, son, grandson, brother, nephew and friend like no other. Anyone that knew Tom, knew that his daughter Tricia was the love of his life, he would say he “busts his ass for her” and he never regretted one minute of it, because he would say, “she was the best thing that ever happened to him.”
