Tom was born January 23, 1954 in Butler, Missouri, son of Michael John and Irene McGrath. He graduated from Butler High School and entered the United States Air Force.

Following his service, Tom returned to Butler and married Chris Estes; and to this union two children, Drew and Cori, were born. Later, on February 26, 1996 he was united in marriage to Kim Horn, and two families very naturally merged.

Tom was employed at General Motors in Kansas City, and later Kansas City Power & Light before he entered the Sonic business, where he impacted many local lives.

Family mattered most to Tom, but he also had a lifelong love of classic cars. For a special tribute to Tom, please consider driving your favorite special vehicle to his services.

Tom was preceded in death by his parents, brother Michael P. McGrath, and sister Carl Ann McGrath. He is survived by his wife, Kim; children M. Drew McGrath (Crystal), Cori Hutchens (Larry Lambeth), Brian Horn (Kelley), and Keith Horn; as well as eight grandchildren: Gabe, Payton, Hanks, Lucas, Michael, Olivia, Mary and Amelia.
