Thomas Deibert Obituary
Fond du Lac - "Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life" (Rev. 2:10). Born August 8, 1957, in Ripon, WI to Karl and Doris Deibert, our brother and uncle was born to eternal life with Jesus on November 13, 2020. Though only 63 at the time of his death, Tom lived a full life during his journey on this earth.
Tom is survived by his loving siblings: Karla Masek, David (Martha) Deibert, and Mark (Cherie "Casey") Deibert; nieces: Stacy (Tom) Bernd, Bethany Andersen, Sara (Thomas "Joe") Eswine, Jennifer (Scott) Jaschob, and Amy Deibert; as well as grandnieces and grandnephews, and dear friends Tim Meyer and Randy and Alice Vossberg. In addition to our Savior, Tom was welcomed into heaven by his parents; grandparents; uncles and aunts; a very special niece and Godchild, Rachel Riederer; his brother-in-law, Lee Masek; and several special friends.
Tom called Kiel, Green Lake, and Fond du Lac, WI home at different times of his life, making Fond du Lac his permanent home. He was a faithful member of St. Peter's Ev. Lutheran Church, active as an usher and on the church council, and loved his time as a leader in Lutheran Pioneers. Always willing to help anyone at any time with any kind of "project," Tom was handy at countless types of home and auto fix-it jobs. He enjoyed hunting, camping, traveling, Jimmy Buffett music, shopping Goodwill for "deals," and hosting his annual Tacky Christmas Party. Tom was always cracking a joke and loved to make people laugh. Tom's greatest joy was spending time with his family. He never missed a Christmas, Thanksgiving, or summer get-together.
Tom was a big man with a big personality and has left us with a mighty big empty space in our lives. But, by our Heavenly Father's grace, we know that we will be reunited in eternal paradise someday, never to be separated again. Godspeed, Tom. We love you.

I worked with Tom at Riverside and Theisen. He was so supportive of my band students and would be there any time I needed him for help moving equipment or setting up a concert. He was a great friend, and very devoted to his family. I just read of his passing today. My deepest sympathies to his family.

Tom was a wonderful man.
Not many years ago, today would be the day that we would meet in Green Bay to have a fish fry and then go deer hunting the next morning. Every time I saw Tom, there was lots of laughter involved. My folks considered him a son, and my brother considered him a brother.
I didn't get to see Tom much recently but, I will miss him. I would be attending the funeral if not for the Covin problems.

I enjoyed working with Tom at Theisen Middle School for several years and have missed him greatly since he left. We had many conversations about our faith, and just as many laughs at our staff "poetry readings." In recent years, it was always a good day when I ran into him around town. He cherished his family greatly and spoke of you all often. I am deeply sorry for your loss. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
