Joseph Liberti Obituary

Published by Legacy on Jul. 21, 2025.
It is with profound sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Joseph Thomas "Tom" Liberti, of Fort Myers,Florida, on July 11, 2025 at the age of 72. He was born on November 1, 1952 in Alliance, Ohio to Joseph and Pauline (Corbisella) Liberti. He graduated from Marlington High School, Alliance, Ohio and earned his bachelors degree in business from Ohio Northern University in Ada, Ohio.
After working summers as a park ranger, sports writer and unprofessional softball player, he decided to start a serious career in an entry level position with Standard Oil. From this position Tom would finish his career as the Vice President and COO of Phillips 66 Partners.
Tom believed in hard work and loyalty, he was known for his generosity and kindness. His enjoyment for golf was only challenged by his passion for the
Cleveland Browns. Tom enjoyed his many friends and they enjoyed his unique ability to bring out the very best in people, in business and life.
He was a regular Saturday attendee of St. John the XXIII Catholic Church.
He was preceded in death by his Father, Joseph and his mother, Pauline. He is survived by his daughter, K.C. (Stewart) Liberti-Wilson, his sister Paula
Liberti, brothers David Liberti and Gary (Mary Ann) Liberti and many nieces and nephews.
K.C was the star of his life and she will say he was the star of hers. "The impact he made on my life is indescribable, and I know I'm not the only one. I
was just the lucky one to be his daughter". Tom will be remembered as a great father, boss and mentor, true friend and great brother.
Tom loved and was loved by his extended family and friends. He will be deeply missed and always in our prayers.
Services will be handled by Baldwin Brothers Funeral Home.
There will be a memorial mass at St. John XXIII on Thursday, July 24 at 10:00 AM. A celebration of life will follow at Fiddlesticks Country Club.

A mentor, colleague, golf partner but most of all a good friend that will be missed. Always appreciated his optimistic view that this was going to be THE year for the Browns. He must have decided it was time to get closer to someone that might be able to help get it done.. Divine Intervention. Rest in peace friend

Mr. Liberti was a great man who brought many smiles to many faces. He was always fun to be around. During the COVID summer, we played almost every Wednesday. It was a lot more fun to be on his team when winning, but it was fun either way.

The man loved his family, God, the Browns, and golf. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

A great man gone too soon.

My deepest condolences to the Liberti family. Tom was great man with a huge heart. I will cherish the good times playing golf with him and the drinks after at Carlton Woods. Rest in peace, Tom.

Enjoyed many fun rounds of golf with Tom, followed by good conversation and laughs at the 19th hole. A quality person gone too soon.
My thoughts and prayers go to his family.
RIP my friend.

I was saddened to hear of Tom´s passing. I only knew him for relatively short period of time. As a new member of Carlton Woods country club, Tom went out of his way to include me in various groups or just a weekly match with him and me. I´ll will always remember that kindness. My condolences to his family and long time friends as I´m sure their memories with him will help ease their grief.

Incredibly disappointed to hear about Tom's passing. A very decent man who deserved to live much, much longer on this earth. Would expect that he will make many 'hole in one's' in heaven.
