Thomas Gerald "Tom" Eberhard

Thomas Gerald Eberhard, known to his loved ones as Tom, passed away on September 26, 2023, in Cincinnati, Ohio, at the age of 85. Born on July 15, 1938, in Cincinnati, Tom was a beloved member of his community who will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Tom was a truly giving man, known for his compassion, generosity, and quick wit. He had a remarkable ability to bring smiles to the faces of those around him with his sense of humor. Tom was not only a fantastic friend, but also a loving brother, husband, uncle, father, and grandpa (Tutu) to his fortunate family members.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Diane Eberhard, sister Jacque Shear (Doug Shear), and his loving daughters, Lisa Eberhard Pugh (Armour Pugh), Dana Eberhard Kelley (Brian Kelley), and Hallie Eberhard (Kurt Searer). He is also survived by his cousin, John Spooner (and the late Eydie Spooner); his nieces and nephews Kevin Shear, Heather Wilson, Linda Santiago, Jim Powers, Chris Powers, James Powers, Keith Powers, and Alexander Powers. Tom will be fondly remembered by his adoring grandchildren, Lauren Dowrey, Hannah Dowrey, Sophie Dowrey, Jake Tufts, Ryan Tufts, Emma Kelley, and Rohan Kelley.

Tom attended and later taught at Cincinnati Country Day School. He graduated from Maryville College in 1960, where he pursued higher education and was a founding member of the "KT Group" for alumni. He valued learning and embraced the opportunities his education provided him. Later, he owned his own printing business, was a Kiwanis member, and a Sycamore Township Trustee.

Tom's family would like to recognize and thank his loving nurse, Theresa Schoonover and her entire family, who made the last few years of Tom's life incredibly special.

The family would also like to thank Sycamore Presbyterian Church, where he and his wife were active members. Tom's memory will be cherished by his family and friends, who will forever remember him as a kind and loving individual.

For those who wish to pay their respects and honor Tom's memory, a gathering for the celebration of Tom's life will be held at the Synder House in Mason, Ohio on Friday, October 27th from 6-8pm. The Snyder House is located in Cottell Park at 5847 Irwin Simpson Rd, Mason, OH 45040.
