Thomas Irving Humphrey

Thomas Irving "Tommy" Humphrey, age 76, of McCalla, Alabama, passed away peacefully on May 3, 2026. Born on May 2, 1950, in Athens, Alabama to Claude and Alberta Humphrey. Tommy lived a life filled with love, dedication, and passion for his family and friends. Tommy graduated from Auburn University in 1974 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. It was during his time at Auburn that he met the love of his life, Beverly Lowe. The two shared nearly 52 wonderful years of marriage, building a life together centered on faith, family, and mutual devotion. Tommy’s career led him to a fulfilling role in IT at US Steel before his retirement. A man of many talents and interests, Tommy had a lifelong passion for HAM radio and enjoyed building and working on computers. However, nothing brought him greater joy than spending time with his beloved family—especially his four grandchildren. Known by his grandchildren as "Pop-Pop" he was deeply devoted to his wife Beverly; their sons Chris and Kevin; and their grandchildren. Tommy was also a dedicated member of the Church of Christ congregation. His faith played an integral role in his life and provided him with strength and guidance throughout the years. He is survived by his loving wife Beverly; sons Chris (Christina) and Kevin (Lauren); grandchildren Davis Humphrey, Brock Humphrey, Rory Humphrey, and Merritt Humphrey ; brother Ray (Carla); sister Joann Fudge (Henry); as well as numerous extended family members who will miss him dearly. He was predeceased by his parents Claude Raymond Humphrey and Alberta Worthey Humphrey; brother Tim Humphrey; and nephew Eric Fudge. Tommy’s legacy as a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. May his memory bring comfort to those who loved him. A private family viewing will be held on May 8, 2026, from 01:00 PM to 01:30 PM at McCalla Memorial Funeral Home with Graveside Service to follow at 02:00 PM at Highland Memorial Gardens 3115 18th Ave N Bessemer, AL.
