Tommy Ambrose Dycus

Tommy Ambrose Dycus, a beloved figure known for his warmth and generosity, left this world on February 26, 2026, at the Alamo Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. Born on August 22, 1959, in Bells, Tennessee, Tommy's life was a testament to love, creativity, and the joy of sharing sweetness with those around him.

From an early age, Tommy showed a delightful penchant for the simple pleasures in life. He had a particular fondness for bubblegum, famously known to go through a bucket of 100 pieces within the span of a month—this quirk became a cherished memory for those fortunate enough to know him. He delighted in passing out candy to brighten the days of family, friends, and even acquaintances, embodying a spirit of generosity that endeared him to everyone he met.

Tommy attended church at the Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church, where he not only found solace but also a sense of community. He embraced every moment with a loving disposition, touching lives with his bright smile and kind gestures. Those who were in his presence often felt a warmth that drew them closer, as he shared not only candies but also laughter and love.

A proud artist, Tommy was affectionately dubbed "The Artist." He spent countless hours coloring intricate designs in adult coloring books, creating masterpieces that he joyfully shared with others. His artistic endeavors were a reflection of his vibrant personality—a blend of creativity and heart that resonated deeply with all who received his work.

Tommy is survived by his beloved brother, James Arthur Dycus of Gadsden, TN, his two nieces, two great-nieces, and one great-nephew, along with numerous extended family and friends who will forever cherish the memories they created together. His legacy is brightened by the warmth he extended during his life, and he will be missed profoundly.

Tommy’s spirit now rests with those who departed before him: his father, William Franklin Dycus; his mother, Dora Lee Johnson Dycus; his brother, William Carter Dycus; and his sister-in-law, Shelia Faye Dycus. Together, they await him in the peace of eternity.

In reflecting upon Tommy’s life, we are reminded of the beauty of connection, the joy of simple pleasures, and the importance of sharing love freely. May we honor his memory by carrying forth his spirit of generosity and creativity in our own lives.
