Thomas Michael Meacham

Thomas Michael Meacham, a true 49ers enthusiast who never passed up an opportunity for a touchdown in the kitchen or the sales field, left us for the big stadium in the sky on January 27, 2024, at the age of 77.

Born in San Francisco, CA, on June 28, 1946, Tom tackled life with gusto and made every play count. His team roster included four loving children, ten adoring grandchildren, and four supportive brothers. Preceding him in the great playoff in the sky was his son, Matthew Meacham. Tom's family and friends will miss his infectious enthusiasm and his knack for turning life's challenges into 'Hail Mary' opportunities for success.

Tom's career blitzed through the industry defense lines of semiconductor, medical, aerospace, oil/energy, automotive, and telecommunications. With his business savvy, he could sell ice to Eskimos and then some, making an indelible mark on the industries he represented.

With a playbook full of recipes, Tom was as much a wizard in the kitchen as he was a devotee of the gridiron. He could whip up a feast as effortlessly as he could cheer on a 49ers' victory. His woodworking projects were as meticulously crafted as his game-day strategies, each piece a testament to his attention to detail.

In the quiet moments off the field, Tom could be found at New Evergreen Church, where he huddled with his community and drew strength from his faith.

While Tom has hung up his cleats, his game plan for a celebration of life is clear. Join us at New Evergreen Church, 2750 Yerba Buena Rd, San Jose, CA 95121, on April 10, 2024, at 11:00 am. In a fitting tribute, don your finest 49ers gear to honor Tom's unwavering team spirit.

Here's to Tom - a man who knew that life isn't just about the touchdowns, but also the huddles, the handoffs, and the halftime feasts. May his legacy continue to cheer us on from the best seat in the house.
