Tom was born in Graham, Texas to George Garland and Susie Reed Cline – a twin to Patsy and younger brother to Georgia.
Tom was preceded in death by his parents, wife, Sharon Smith Cline and sons, James Russel and Clint Wade Cline.
Tom is survived by his sisters, Patsy (Cecil) Batts and Georgia (I. Charles) Duncan, daughters, Jolyn (Chuck) Schaefer, Shellie Langley and sons, Will (Nacona) Cline and Tay (Tiffany) Cline. Tom also leaves behind the legacy of ten grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and one on the way.
Tom and his family lived on a ranch in Graham, Texas and then moved to New Mexico in 1947, moving around many times then landing in Albuquerque, NM in 1954.
Tom excelled at every job he held from the Highway Department to dry cleaner, ranch hand on the Hubbel Ranch, teamster, truck driver and Sharon's ranching partner.
Tom was a friend to everyone he met and loved hunting, fishing and rodeo. Tom helped many kids get their first deer and was the NMHSRA Rough Stock Director for many years.
