“With the passing of Thom Roberts, the scene has grown darker. For many years, Randy Travis’ band and crew had the opportunity to share winding roads and beautiful venues with one of the best stage lighting technicians in the business.
Thom not only had a magical sense for lighting a stage; but he had a calm, charismatic presence that set your soul on fire. Always ready, with an “I can do it” and “I love doing it” attitude.
He was a gentle, giant man who had a constant smile on his face and a song in his heart. One would search a lifetime to find a kinder, gentler spirit. Thom was my friend and I loved him dearly.
When we return to Randy Travis’ “More Life” tour next week, the music will not be as sweet; But it reminds me once again of the blessing of having Thom Roberts traveling with us for so many miles and so many memories.
It certainly won’t be the same; and I know I speak for the entire group and team when I say that the light he truly created in our hearts will never be extinguished or forgotten.
Tonight I’ll look up at the sky and I’m sure I’ll see flashes of Thom’s work in the night sky – a sign that we know he’s home and all is well.”
