Thomas Lawrence Fletcher

Thomas Lawrence Fletcher, a man whose strength was outmatched only by his rock-and-roll spirit, played out his famous final scene on October 2, 2025. Born February 19, 1954 in "Southside" St. Joseph, Missouri. Tom mastered the guitar in his teens, playing in bands from school dances to road gigs. Tom married his high school sweetheart, Beth (Elizabeth Ann Wolfe), beginning a devoted 52-year marriage built on love and the mutual joy they found in raising their daughter, Amanda. His grit was legendary: he braved Multiple Sclerosis for over thirty years and conquered cancer three times. Tom loved being a grandpa, puttering around in the yard, reading, and listening to music. He is reunited with his parents, Leonard and Helen Fletcher, and his sister, Patricia Mills. He is survived by his wife, Beth; his daughter Amanda Weston (Jeff); grandchildren Alexander Adkins (Jared), Logan Ross, and Maia Ross (Haden); great-granddaughters, Kinsley and Vada; and brothers, Michael (Linda) and James Fletcher. In his memory, play something loud and drink something cold, maybe an old Eagles album and Milwaukee's Best. "May his life on this earth and the pain of his passing become as a dream to his waking soul, and let his eyes fall upon every lovely sight. Let him find the friends that were lost to him, and let everyone whose name he calls call his in return." - Stephen King, The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower The family will receive friends from 5-7 pm Thursday, October 9, 2025 at the Rupp Funeral Home, online obituary, and condolence at www.ruppfuneral.com To plant Memorial Trees in memory of Thomas Lawrence Fletcher, please click here to visit our sympathy store.
