We mourn the loss of dedicated community leader Thomas "Tom" Lee Reilly. Tom was instrumental in the founding of the City of Brookhaven and greatly advocated for our parks and greenspaces.

The Tom Reilly Green Space, located at 1664 Re*****on Rd, was dedicated in September 2021 in appreciation of Tom's many years of service to the natural environment of the City of Brookhaven and his military service to our nation.

Tom's family has shared his obituary, here: https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/atlanta-ga/thomas-reilly-12864856 🔗
