O' Gentle Soul
Too soon the passing, too long the struggle.
Never a moment when days could be taken for granted.
Your Response:
Why complain, life is so precious, so much fun
Forget about the pain
Make long lasting friendships, be kind to those you meet.
Celebrate in the company of friends
Be loyal, be loving, be open
Sounds like a good game plan
TJ to family, Thomas to friends
Loved by all who had the good fortune to know him.
Love, Dad
At both of his alma maters, Shiloh High School and Georgia Tech, Thomas "T.J." Lozano was beloved.
He was popular for his warm personality and his enthusiasm for the sports teams at both places, whose communities went into mourning Thursday when word spread that Lozano had passed away after a brief illness. The longtime Georgia Tech Athletic Association employee was just 38.
"(Lozano) was by far one of the better-known graduates of Shiloh High School, when he was there and also after he graduated," said longtime Shiloh athletic director and football coach said. "And we've had some good ones. We've got one running for governor this year. We've had one be a first-round draft pick in the NFL. There have been some pretty good people go through there. Thomas was right up there at the top. Probably the most beloved out of all of them to be honest."
Lozano, whose father was a longtime football coach in Gwinnett, had fallen ill with pneumonia in recent weeks. Through those exams, doctors discovered cancer in his throat. He passed away around 10 a.m. Thursday under hospice care.
Georgia Tech planned a moment of silence in Lozano's honor prior to Thursday night's home basketball game against North Carolina State. It also kept his courtside seat empty for the game. It will remain that way for Saturday's basketball game.
Lozano joined the Yellow Jackets' athletic association in 2004 and worked in the athletic department in student services, compliance and communications over the years. He graduated from Tech in 2002 with a bachelor's degree in management and was a huge Yellow Jackets fan.
"Today is a sad day for Georgia Tech," Tech director of athletics said in a school release. "Thomas was a huge part of our GTAA family. His dedication to Tech as an alumnus, a staff member and a fan was unrivaled. He leaves behind an enduring legacy of great courage and character that has touched everyone he has ever come in contact with, including all of the student-athletes and athletics staff that were fortunate to know him. On behalf of the entire Georgia Tech athletics family, I offer our most sincere condolences to Thomas' family and his countless friends."
While at Shiloh, Lozano helped with the basketball programs as a manager. He didn't work with the football program — the logistics of moving around campus would have been tough for Lozano, who used crutches to walk because of a health condition — but he didn't miss a Generals game.
"Thomas was the toughest one at Shiloh High School,". "He struggled all his life (with health issues), but I never heard him complain one time about the cards he was dealt. He had more strength and character than anybody I know. He was a great kid and a great man."
