Thomas Hackett Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 10, 2025.

Thomas Patrick Hackett, of Central Point, Oregon, passed away peacefully on January 9, 2025. Born in Orange, New Jersey and raised in East Orange, New Jersey, Thomas graduated from Our Lady of the Valley High School and attended Upsala College. Thomas carried the values of his upbringing with him throughout his life.

More than anything, Thomas loved his family and friends. He was a devoted husband to his wife, Rosemary Hackett, and a loving father to his two sons, Michael Hackett and Stephen Hackett. He found great joy in being a grandfather to Madeleine and Andre Hackett, who brought light and happiness to his later years. He had a special place in his heart for Katrina Hackett, the mother of his grandchildren.

He was predeceased by his parents, Ann and William Hackett, as well as his brother, William Hackett. He is lovingly remembered by his surviving siblings: Robert Hackett, Debra Benning (James), and Ellen Esposito (Anthony).

In his later years, Thomas made his home in Central Point, Oregon, where he found peace and comfort surrounded by loved ones. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

May his legacy bring solace to those who mourn his passing.

When Tom moved from NJ to OR, I helped him drive cross country, with the help of another Valley buddy, Pete the Uke. If you know Tom well, you know patience was not his strongest virtue, so you can imagine what 3 days driving with Tommy was like, especially when Pete, while driving, did not always keep his eyes on the road. And then while looking back at me in the back seat had to suddenly react to a 1200 pound elk in the middle of the road, staring at us. Tom flashed that look he inherited directly from his Dad with his eyes bugging out of his face as his whole head turned beet red. To say the least, it was a a moment, among many with Tom, that I will never forget.
Tom was one of the very BEST friends I could have ever hoped for.

Tommy was my brother-in law but I considered him my big brother also. I loved him with all my heart and will miss our long distance phone conversations.
