Tom entered this life on May 20, 1964, in Indianapolis, Indiana. He was the son of William "Bill" Colson and Barbara (Byers) Kellermeyer. He grew up in Middletown and graduated from Shenandoah High School. After graduation Tom joined the US Army. He was taught electrical skills by his father and became an electrical engineer, specializing in factory connections.  His career took him from coast to coast and even to Alaska.

He was known as "Uncle Tom' to those he cared for. Tom was known for his kindness and generosity. He would often give 2nd chance employment to those who need a job to get on their feet.  Always one willing to help, without expecting anything in return

A Harley Davidson rider through and through, he embraced the ride and the culture with the motorcycle.   Tom was one of original members of the former SAW Bros MC formed in 2016 in Seymour where he served as the president.  He would later help with a patch over to SOH MC in 2020. And then was invited to become a HAMC member in 2021.  Throughout Tom's life journey, he created a lifelong list of devoted friends who will forever miss their "Uncle Tom"

He is survived by his son Jacob Colson, parents, Bill Colson, Barbara Kellermeyer, and sister Racheal Oldham and husband Nathan.

He was preceded by his sister Terri Colson Decaudin
