Thomas Kirk Christophersen (Tommy, Dad, Grandpa, Friend) was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia to Norman Bevins and Martha Gaddis, later adopted by his stepdad Chris Christophersen.  His survivors include the “love of his life,” Marie Christophersen, daughter Meagen Christophersen, son Thomas Kirk Christophersen Jr. and stepson Steven Glen Bailey, brother James Christophersen and sister Kay Gove (Ralph), Uncle Wendell Gaddis, other family members including grandchildren, Olivia and Mila, and many other dear friends who loved him like a brother, Jeff, John, Crystal, and Teresa, and others.  He was preceded in death by his grandson Micah.  We fondly remember his love for fishing and hunting, and the courage with which he faced many challanges in life, successfully.  Tommy will be dearly missed by all.
