Honorable Thomas “Tom” B. McCoun III

Judge McCoun

The Honorable Thomas Bullitt McCoun III, born in Miami, Florida in 1950, lived an accomplished and dutiful life. He is a graduate of the Georgia Institute of Technology and Stetson University College of Law, where he went on to become an adjunct professor. He practiced law for 41 years, serving the last 24 as a Magistrate Judge, United States District Court, Middle District of Florida. Judge McCoun valued active church membership, coaching his children in various sports, teaching Sunday school, and was the go-to dictionary and mathematician of his family. All who knew him were keenly aware of his devotion to his profession, his integrity and unmatched fairness. He is missed dearly by his wife of 45 years, Jennie; his four children Bullitt, Jon, Cameron and Katie and his now five “wingmen,” his grandsons Bodie, Knox, Tyler, Eli and Seve.
