Obituary

Thomas (Tom) Alvin Ayres, age 59 of Pocomoke City, MD passed away at his home on April 11, 2021. He was the son of Lillie Mae Elliott Ayres (90 of Pocomoke City), and the late Thomas Wilson Ayres.

In addition to his mother, he is survived by twin sons, Thomas Wilson Ayres and Travis Ayres, both of Pocomoke City, MD, his wife Robin of Pocomoke City, two sisters, Diana Littleton and her husband Joe of Pocomoke City, MD and Pam Ayres of Princess Anne, MD, his great-niece Lily Morton, daughter of Stacey Morton, who was very close to his heart, as well as several nieces and nephews, and many special friends. He was preceded in death by his sister, Kathryn Horney, who passed on April 6th 2021.

For many years, Tom was a skilled mechanic, enjoying working on anything with an engine, as well as an avid boater. Until his health prevented him from doing so, you could find him under the hood of a car, on the water, or listening to all types of music.

Tom was always a strong person, no moment proved this more than winning his battle with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. His strength and passion were something few others shared and something that will be greatly missed.

A funeral service officiated by Rev. Dan Tarr and Travis Ayres will be held at 2pm, Wednesday April 21, 2021 at Holloway Funeral Home in Pocomoke City, MD, where family and friends will gather one hour prior to the service. A private interment will be held on a later date.

Arrangements are in the care of Holloway Funeral Home, P.A., 107 Vine Street, Pocomoke City, MD 21851. To send condolences to the family, please visit www.hollowayfh.com .
