Tom Branch, great friend of mine, super fellow. I
met Tom not through the Ham radio, I purchased
a house from Tom ( I was seeking for a Realtor
that was a Ham Opertaor) Tom (K4NR) found us
a house, and we were friends and business
partners ever since. Tom was famous in North
Dallas in Realtor profession, he is an author, and
published books for Realtors. He also was a
veteran of 21 years in the Airforce...!
I will truly miss Tom, great spirit, super friend and
always there for anyone...
Here is the official information about Tom
Tom left us way too soon in the early morning
hours of September 13, 2014 after a courageous
9-month battle with kidney cancer. He is survived
by his wife Gina, sons Thomas and Jack, step-
daughters Ashley and Jordan Adams, his father
Parker, his brother Patrick and his wife Shelly,
and his sister Helene. He also adored his three
grandchildren – Kaydence, Parker and Ava, along
with his many nieces and nephews. Tom proudly
served his country for 21 years in the United
States Air Force. He began as a Russian linguist
and retired as a Senior Master Sergeant in Air
Force Recruiting. He was awarded the Meritorious
Service Medal after serving in the first Gulf War.
Post military, Tom was a Human Resources
Director briefly, but found his calling as a
residential real estate broker. Tom served on the
Board of Directors for the Collin County
Association of Realtors, chaired several
committees, and was voted the 2013 Realtor of
the Year for all of Collin County. He will be
remembered for his servant leadership, and his
unselfish gift of time and expertise to help others
become better at their craft. When not working,
Tom enjoyed amateur radio, traveling, and live
music. He always said life is about experiences,
not material objects. Tom’s life will be celebrated

RIP Tom
I am dumbfounded. I also purchased a house
thru Tom and Gina. He was a very capable
realtor and a very nice guy.
He will be greatly missed and long remembered.
My most sincere condolences to the family.
