Tens of thousands of people viewed and reacted to Tom Reid’s hospice baptism, which was posted to Facebook by Hospice of Wichita Falls.
“Fulfilling final wishes for our patients and their family fills our #HospiceHeart! Tommy is in our Inpatient Center and one of his last wishes was to be baptized by his minister from the Burkburnett Church of Christ,” The hospice staff wrote with the video post. “Many people came together to make his wish come true in the garden of our center.”

Tommy Reid passed away on June 29, 2019 at the age of 67. As his obituary says, because he accepted Jesus as his personal savior, he went to be with his Lord and Savior.
A celebration of his life was held on Saturday, July 6, 2019 and “He is survived by wife, Marion of Burkburnett; son, Kenny of Burkburnett; three grandchildren; brothers, Harvey Leon Reid of Lawton, Oklahoma and Michael Paul Reid.”
Perhaps Tommy Reid paved the way for more to come to know Jesus and become baptized in their final days.
