The one and only Tommy Garrison of Bryant, Arkansas, has moved on to the ultimate after-party on July 31, 2025. Born in DeWitt, Arkansas, to the late Lester Garrison and Benny Imageane Ward on January 29, 1954, Tommy was a true original who lived life with the throttle wide open.

Riding motorcycles and spending days at Lake DeGray were some of Tommy's favorite past times. Wherever he was, he was enjoying life and listening to good music.

In later years, Tommy's greatest joy came from raising and spending time with his youngest daughter, Bb. He will be deeply missed by countless friends and family, including his special nieces and nephews.

Tommy was preceded in death by his parents, Lester Garrison and Benny Imageane Ward; his siblings, Lester "L.G." Garrison, Bill Garrison, Betty Moss, Charles Garrison, and  Michael Shepherd (Terri); brother-in-law, Carl Doles.

He is survived by his special friend, Kara Shamhart; his children, Thomas Benjamin "Ben" Garrison Jr., Kelli Phillips, Breanna Garrison, Candice Martin (Bodie), Justin Hillhouse, and Johnny Garrison; and his grandchildren, Donovan Phillips, Ethan Martin, Kenzie Crain, Nathan Martin, Emily Garrison, Nathan Phillips, Levi Phillips, Ellie Garrison, John Thomas Garrison Jr., and Ryver Hillhouse; sibling's, Jeanette Doles, Nancy Smith, Steve Garrison, and Randy Garrison.

Tommy lived his life like his favorite songs—loud, unapologetic, and unforgettable. His memory will ride on in every good tune, open road, and sunny day on the water.

His Celebration of Life Will be on Wednesday, August 20, 2025 at 2:00 P.M. with the visitation one hour prior at Dial and Dudley Funeral Home.
