Thomas Linnan Obituary

Our beloved Thomas Raymond Linnan left us on January 10, 2025, just one week shy of his 91st birthday. Loved and missed by Donna, his wife of 65 years; two sons, Michael (Brenda) and John (Celeste, deceased). He leaves behind a legacy of warmth and kindness.

Tom adored his six grandchildren, Erin Vallario (Brian), Emily Vaughn (Patrick),

Garrett Linnan, Lauren Fisher (Jackson), Harrison Linnan and Meghan Linnan. His nine great grandchildren brought immeasurable joy and light to his life, Lucy,

Patrick, Grace, Carly, Max, Matt, Leo, Kate and Wyatt.

Tom was a kind and gentle soul, whose love and happiness he shared with all. His life, laughter and stories will forever remain in our hearts.

Dear friends, we are saddened to read of the passing of Mr.Tom. He was a wonderful patriarch to the Linnan family providing support, love and guidance to his children and grandchildren (and sometimes driving lessons). He was very proud of all of you. May your memories of good times shared provide you with comfort at this difficult time. We see that the services are private. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. May Mr. Linnan rest in peace in the arms of our dear Lord. Amen.
With sympathy and love,
Kathleen and Chuck Ebner

So sad to hear Mr. Tom Linnan has passed. I have fond memories of Tom professionally dressed in his suit, coming into the Dentist office on Falls Road working his sales job. In recent years he would come into Dr. Linnan“s office to bring lunch, always stopping to speak with us at the front desk, and sometimes bringing us goodies. He was a wonderful Father, Grandfather, and Great Grandfather. He will be missed. Sending our heartfelt condolences and Love and Prayers to Donna and the entire family. With Love, Heidi and Keith
