Tom was born on August 16, 1950, in Worland, Wyoming. In 1958, his family moved to Lampson, Wisconsin, where he would spend the rest of his life. He dedicated his working years to the woods, a path that reflected his strength, resilience, and deep respect for the land. An avid hunter and fisherman, Tom found peace and purpose in the outdoors, a passion he carried with him throughout his life. There was nothing more important to Tom than his family. He would never pass up an opportunity to tell you how proud he was of his kids and grandkids.
He is survived by his beloved wife of 51 years, Theresa; his children, Tom Jr. (Andrea), Tera (Matt), Tanya, and Trent (Jamie); and his cherished grandchildren, Austin, Jake (Nevada), Dominic, Kooper, Jovie, and Eva. He is also survived by his siblings, Sharon (Gary), June (John), Louis (Ruby), Bob (Lori), Donnie (RaeNell), and Mike (Nancy); brothers and sisters-in-law, Lewis (Janet), Lucia (Virgil), Max (Sandy), Bob (Shirley), Ron (Kate), Harry (Marianne), Margaret, Judy, George (Jenny), and Regina; and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Tom was preceded in death by his parents, Betty and Louis; his parents-in-law, Albert and Marge Ericson; the father figures who helped shape his life, Lawrence Graham and Hardy Morningstar; and his siblings, Debbie, Lonnie, and Ruthie.
A celebration of life with a light meal will be held on Saturday, May 16th at 10:00 AM at the Parker Farm, W5095 Parker Road, Springbrook, Wisconsin 54875. Interment will take place at Earl Cemetery at 1:30 PM.
In keeping with Tom's love of the outdoors, the family encourages flowers or live plants that can be planted in his memory and enjoyed for years to come.
Tom will be deeply missed and forever remembered by his family, friends, and all who knew him.
