Last sunset July 12, 2021
Thomas “Tommy” John Horcher was born in Illinois and moved to California with his mom and dad when he was 2 years old. He lived in California for 24 years until he moved to Kaua‘i in 2009 to be closer to his dad and stepmom. He was the owner of All Island Adventures, “Creating Memories that Last a Lifetime.”
He is survived by mother Janey (Steve) Dawson Smith, father Don (Sharon) Horcher, sisters Ashley (Sean) O’Malley and Caity Bailey, and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and an abundance of friends.
He had an infectious smile, a heart of gold, found humor in everything and was the king of one-liners. He was a true San Francisco Giants fan. He fell in love with the island and all of its beauty. He gave his life to save two others, and he will be forever remembered as a hero. We love you so much Tommy, and we will see you again in paradise.
