Bolan, Thomas P.
Age 33
Taken from us Jul. 6, 2011
Survived by wife of 6 years Cori Bolan; daughters Zoe, Anja and Zeta; parents Carol Logan and Donald Bolan; sisters Crystal Bolan and Jennifer Bolan; many other relatives, friends and members of The League RC. Tom grew up in Blaine and traveled extensively across the country on his motorcycle finally settling in Cambridge MN to realize his dream of attending college by enrolling at Anoka Ramsey Community College with plans to transfer to the University of Minnesota. He was deeply committed to making a difference in his community, eventually leading him to found and become the president of a not for profit motorcycle riding club that was heavily involved in community service work. He had plans to move into public service by running for office later this year and was gaining experience in the political field by interning in the offices of state legislators and lobbyists. He lost his life doing what he loved most when his motorcycle was struck by a car while riding on a charity poker run. Tom has asked that instead of a funeral his ashes be spread out in the black hills and any money saved be donated to Habitat For Humanity or other charitable organization.
I enjoyed your elaboration of who you are. It painted a great picture for me to see. Also saving the cause of death until the end was a great way to keep me reading all the way through! Great Job!
ReplyDeleteThe comments about your life and aspirations really interested me. You did a great job of making it interesting in that way. However, I am disappointed that you didn't consider lifting weights with me at the gym to be important enough for your obituary. Haha jk. good job!
ReplyDeleteGood job! I didn't fully understand when reading in the book about survivors, but I think after reading your obituary and seeing how you put it into the context I understand better. It really brings you deep into who you are!
