TAMMS, Ill. — Vance T. "Tommy" Hazelwood Jr., 47, of Tamms passed away Tuesday, Oct. 3, 2023.

He was born July 31, 1976, in Cape Girardeau to Vance T. Sr. and Debra McKee Hazelwood of Tamms.

Loving survivors include his parents; three children, Brittany (Kristian) Troxel and Jaxson and Jaycee Hazelwood; former spouse, Nikki Hazelwood; sister, Regina (Michael) Vonhasseln; brother, Samuel (Courtney) Hazelwood; seven nieces and nephews; grandson, Carsen Ellis; and special friend, Cara Hammond, and her daughter, Slaedyn Hammond.

Tommy was preceded in death by his maternal and paternal grandparents.
