Music City Tres Dias

Passing of Tom Hoek

Tom Hoek passed into glory Thursday, September 17, 2026, at around 11am at Williamson Medical Center after fighting cancer.  A veteran of the US Army, Tommy was a candidate on MCTD #12, and served on more than 50 Tres Dias weekends.  He served on MCTD’s secretariat for many years, including serving as Chairman.

Tommy wasn’t just a leader in the Tres Dias community. He was also a leader in the Nashville business community and he willingly gave of his time and resources in both communities to speak into the lives of many men as a spiritual and business mentor.

He is survived by his loving wife Corra, son Bryan, and daughter Krysty.  Funeral arrangements are pending.

Passing of Wilson P. Burton, Jr.

Wilson P. Burton, Jr., Graduated to Heaven on April 6, 2026.  He was instrumental in the founding and chartering of Music City Tres Dias, and served as the first Chairman of the Music City TD Secretariat.  He was a driving force in starting the Kyiv (Ukraine) Tres Dias community, and was also involved in encouraging and nurturing several other Tres Dias communities, both in the United States and other countries.

The promise that was emblematic of Wilson’s life, and also the promise that started Music City TD is found in Psalm 37:4 – “Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart.”  One of his favorite signature lines was “Blessed to be a blessing” – that he (Wilson) was blessed when he could minister to and bless others.  It was Wilson’s mission to be a blessing to others, and he lived that out every day.

Music City Tres Dias would not be the ministry it is today, without Wilson’s vision, energy, contributions, prayers, and service.  We will always remember his enthusiasm and sense of humor, the love he had for others, and how he loved being outdoors!  Please pray for his “Earth Angel” wife (his description every time he mentioned her), Joy Burton, and their family.
