In memory of Thomas A. Sonley, Mary Beth Kelly lit a candle

Thinking of our dear friend Tim and of course The whole Sonley family. With Love and Grace, Meg & Donny

Rest peacefully in the arms of our Lord, Tom...

We were blessed to work with Tom and so sorry to learn of his passing. Posting (reposting?) the message below, with which we sincerely agree. From Will Richter, VP of Operations: Genuine. People are always more complex than one word, but if you had to describe Tom Sonley in one word, genuine is what it would be. Everyone who had the pleasure of spending time with Tom was better for it. His kind and gentle demeanor masked a passion for striving for excellence on every account he worked. A 20 year AHC/Convergent attorney, Tom’s work was often provided as an example of the kind of quality our clients were looking for. He worked every account like it was one of his accounts, or that of a family member. Even when he retired, he cited not being able to give his all anymore to his clients, versus any reason that would shine a well deserved spotlight on him. Unselfish in every way, Tom was part of multiple teams during his career, and those who managed him will likely be nodding their heads reading this, and will hopefully be forming the same contagious smile Tom had that came out every so often. Tom’s passing should be a gentle reminder to everyone to enjoy every day as he tried to do, treat everyone with kindness, and love and spend time with your family. The Convergent family will definitely miss Tom.

Tom was a kind soul who deeply loved his family. We will miss his gentle affection.

Tom and I started off as rooms in the early 70s. Tom loved his Ovation guitar and he love God. He pursed music, Biblical studies and truth in all things; knowledge, friends and purposefulness. I saw Tom as a wise old man in a young man’s body. He took life seriously and this had a strong influence on me, an immature, psych major from the suburbs. Over the coming decades Tom and I tried to have a long distance friendship with me in the Dominican Rep, then China and then the Philippines. His emails were serious and intentional. I hated not being able to be his next door neighbor because Tom every conversation added substance to me and who wouldn’t want to live next to a friend like that. But that will have to wait till Insee Tom in Heaven where together with his family and friends we will celebrate our friendship and our love for Jesus Christ forever. For now I just miss you Tom, so very very much.

Safe journeys my blessed Cousin Tom. I will always remember you with great fondness for the gentle caring soul you were when you came to Portland to speak at my.mom's celebration of life in 2021. My heart breaks for beautiful Linny and the girls and the family. May you be with your angels now and forever in peace and painfree serenity. May your family be surounded by family and friends embraced bt God's good grace and love at this sad time of loss. All my love from Aunt Micki's west coast Sonley family.

Thinking of Tom’s family now and in the days to come. Sad to learn of his passing. He was always a jolly, friendly face in the office and a dedicated co-worker for many, many years.

Linnie please know that we are with you in spirit and prayers. We love you dearly.

Praying for Gods peace and comfort as you and your family faced the days ahead. Know you all will be in my prayers. Love you❤️

Tom was such a nice man. I worked with him since 2007. I never saw anything but a smile on his face and he always said hello to me. You will be missed, Tom. Rest in Peace. Andrea Johnston from AHC/Convergent

Thank you, Tom for being a wonderful husband and father to our children. I love you and am so happy that you are in eternity with Jesus.

I’ll be praying for you and your family. God’s love and grace are always with you.

It was a pleasure to work with Tom. He was in my thoughts and prayers when he retired from Convergent as is now his family at this difficult time. I'll be sure to say a Rosary for him.

May he rest in peace. Condolences to his family.

I worked with Tom at (AHC)Convergent. I will always remember him. He was always there at his desk from early morning until late at night, sometimes. He was a hard worker. Very quiet but very kind. I hope he got some rest during his short retirement and had some fun with his family. One night I heard there was ice outside in front of the building. As I was leaving, he was still there, and I told him to be careful because there was ice. You would have thought I gave him the best gift. He smiled and said, "Thank you so much for thinking of me!" My condolences to his family.

I am so sorry to hear of Tom's passing. He was such a nice man to work with. I have missed seeing him every day. Praying for you all during this time.

Tom was a wonderful and kind man whom I had the pleasure to know. May he rest in eternal peace.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
