Thomas Easterbrook Obituary

July 9, 1957 - June 21, 2015

On Sunday June 21 our beloved Son, Husband, Brother, and Father passed from this world. Tom is survived by his mother Joan Harrison Easterbrook, his wife Selsy Easterbrook, and his children Robert Easterbrook, Jim Easterbrook and Kaitlyn Easterbrook. Additionally Tom has three siblings. Sister Erin (Boyd) Easterbrook, Mark Easterbrook and Matthew Easterbrook.

Tom experienced an eventful life. He served honorably for the Fresno and Tulare county Sheriffs departments. Tom became a pilot early in the 80's and amassed many flight hours working for security air transports. He soon piloted private concerns for many corporate clients. In time his commercial experience put him to work for Northwest and Delta Airlines flying his beloved 757 aircraft.

Tom was a Jack of all trades and a master of many! A brilliant marksman, an accomplished swimmer and weightlifter, Tom was just special! He lifted the spirits of so many around him. He solved problems and saved lives. He was a beautiful Man, Son, Father, Husband and brother. He always said "if you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem"! You can't be either if you don't care and Tom did. He was my Brother!

Rosary TBD see Welch Ryce Haider wrhsb.com.

Funeral Mass 10 am Wednesday July 1, 2015 at Saint Raphael's church, Hollister Ave.

Thought of you just days before your passing. Decided to give you the waterless cookware. Should have done it sooner. You were tbe cook, and you enjoyed it. Now I have to remember my wonderful BD meal you cooked in 2010. I loved tbat BD. I miss you here on earth. You are NOT replaceable! There is no one with your sense of humor, that I can talk with like you. You knew me so well, and yet loved me. Please be at peace my bff! I love you and miss you.

I do not know how to say good-bye to you. I just never thought you would leave. I see you were very ill, though you always sounded like Tom. It is your time to rest and I am grateful for you that you have that. I love you so much, and appologize we did not talk so much this last year. You were certainly a blessing in my life, from the first day you rented a room from me. We had some really good laughs in those days, and even in our most recent encounters. You are not replaceable. I will miss you immensely.
