Tommy is survived by his wife, Connie Burdette Gill, his daughter, Ginny (Eddie) Woods, his grandsons, Tom (Brandi) Robinson & Brad Hisle, and his great-grandchildren, Ella and Levi Robinson. Tommy was a true outdoorsman in every sense of the word. He loved to hunt any game animal or bird and was an excellent marksman. He was an accomplished archer and an avid collector of arrowheads and knives. Tommy enjoyed shooting trap and, in his younger days, truck pulling. Tommy was a knowledgeable gardener, insisting on straight rows and a weed-free garden, and could grow the best homegrown vegetables.

Tommy was the last surviving co-owner of Burdette Wholesale, which is where he started his journey of buying and reselling. He also owned and operated Tommy Gill Restaurant on the square and was a lifelong farmer.

Tommy was a member at Drakes Creek Baptist Church where he served as Deacon. Tommy never met a stranger and was blessed with many good friends.
