Thomas Belcher Obituary
MANSFIELD: Thomas "Tom" Joe Belcher, 52, of Mansfield, Ohio passed away on Sunday August, 28, 2016 in Mansfield, Ohio. He was born in Columbus, Ohio on August 29, 1963.
Tom grew up in the Johnstown area, graduating from Johnstown Monroe High School, then moved to Mansfield. Tom was an entrepreneur and was involved in many area businesses. He owned Belcher's Cement for eight years, Belcher's House of Rock for 11 years, he was currently in a partnership with Orange Street Market, and was the former owner of Zigs Dairy Stand. Tom loved muscle cars, motorcycles, fixing up cars, and collecting coins.
Tom always enjoyed being with people and making them laugh. Generous, kind, hard working, jovial and a joker are just a few adjectives that describe him. Tom loved his family more than anything.

Tom is preceded in death by his father Walter Belcher; two brothers, Roger and Jerry Belcher; mother-in-law, Norma Meyer; close aunt Pauline Beka; grandparents; and several aunts and uncles.
