Tommy Nash

Tommy Nash passed away from Sudden Cardiac Arrest on December 12th, 2021 at the age of 14 while sledding with his sisters and cousin after a classic Minnesota snowstorm. It’s believed Tommy had a arrhythmia related to an unknown genetic defect.

Tommy was, without fail, the funniest and kindest person in the room. Whether it be a party, a classroom, or a family gathering, Tommy was the light shining on others to bring them Joy. Tommy was a Freshman at Mound Westonka High School where he enjoyed being part of the boys volleyball team. Tommy’s supreme uniqueness was evident in everything he did from aspiration to be an Olympic Speed Walker to his enthusiasm for finding the perfect outfit at Goodwill. He loved Harry Styles and Christmas Trees. He adored his friends, family, and especially his dog Finnegan. Soon after his death, a #BeLikeTommy movement began to encourage people to be kind, accepting, and to bring joy to each other, like Tommy did every day of his life.
