The 2nd Anniversary of the Passing of Tom Deeb
DIR By: Mach O Melvin
Date: March 24, 2018, 5:27 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Tom Deeb was a self-made man, who became successful through his
own wit and skill. Despite adversity Tom was able to use his
unique perception and abilities to make it work. Not only was
Tom a prolific entrepreneur and mentor, he was also generous,
caring, and had a great sense of humor. He will be greatly
missed by all that knew him.
Thomas Edward Deeb passed away suddenly Monday, March 21, 2016
in Denton, Texas with his Partner Janice Jennings by his side.
He was 66.
He was born September 26, 1949 in Mishawaka, Indiana to parents
Isaac and Edna Deeb. He proudly served his country by joining
the US Air Force from 1973 to 1976 during the Vietnam War, which
he was honorably discharged.
In his spare time, he took pleasure in darts, shooting pool and
was most passionate about guns. In 1993 he founded Hi-Point
Firearms which has a manufacturing plant in Mansfield. Ever
since he has been manufacturing guns for the “working people”.
Most recently Tom was featured in an American Rifleman article,
which showcased his hard work, love, and knowledge of firearms.
Manufacturing of firearms also led Tom to working closely with
law enforcement throughout the US, and working 10 plus years
with AFTE. He was very passionate about AFTE and was
instrumental in both AFTE education and creating indentifying
processes used by firearms examiners across the US.
Tom was survived by his children Tom (Kelly) Saunders, Keri
Petersen, Jody (John) Beidelschies, Thomas E. (Delena) Deeb II,
Jessica (Dustin) Seitz, Alisha (Dustin) Sqrow, Mychal Deeb,
David Deeb, James Deeb, Brad (Mandi) Jennings, and Kim Jennings;
grandchildren Erika Shilling, Erin Rennaker, Alec Deeb, Abagail
Seitz, Collin Seitz, Vincent Sqrow, Emilia Sqrow, Braxtyn Sqrow,
Bryson Jennings, Isaac Caporini, Taylor Touby, Rex Woodruff,
Jordan Woodruff, Alexandra Woodruff, and Aylee Beidelschies;
several great grandchildren; ex-wife Shirley Deeb; a brother
Charles Deeb, and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
Tom was preceded in death by his parents; son Bryan Miller;
brothers David Deeb and James Deeb; sisters Rose Jernigan,
Elizabeth “Dolly” Stallings-Dill, and ex-wife and close friend
Doris Deeb.
His family will receive friends 1-5 p.m. Saturday, April 9, 2016
in the Life Celebration Reception Center, 129 S. Main Street,
Mansfield.
Contributions in his memory to US Autism & Asperger Association
may be made at www.usaaa.org.
