Thomas Gagnon Obituary
Sep 7, 1942 - Aug 27, 2019
Thomas L. Gagnon, 76, of Sarasota passed away August 27, 2019.
Tom was born in 1942 in Concord, New Hampshire to Elisez and Doris Marie (Painchaud) Gagnon. Tom served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War and was awarded numerous medals, including the Korea Defense Service Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal, and two Purple Hearts. He achieved the rank of Sergeant. He moved to Sarasota in 1978 and worked in the concrete block industry. Tom enjoyed the simple things in life - he worked hard, loved animals, and stood as a quiet, strong presence in his family. He was dedicated to his wife, Mary (Boutieller) Gagnon and showed, by example, how to be kind, principled and honest. He is predeceased by his wife, Mary Grace (Boutieller) Gagnon, his parents Elisez and Doris Gagnon, his brother Danny Gagnon, and his step-daughter, Donna Boutieller. Tom is survived by his sisters Nancy Fox and Jill Gagnon, his four step-children John, Linda, Mary and George Boutieller, and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Tom was such a kind and quiet man, always in the background, always willing to help. I will miss our Friday breakfasts. He loved our mom and loved us in his own special way. Miss you already. Love, Mary
