Thomas Russell "Tom" Alwine

Thomas "Tom" Russell Alwine, 66, passed away on November 15, 2025. Born on July 24, 1959, Tom's life was marked by his goofy songs and games played with his children and grandchildren, love of Notre Dame football, the United States Marine Corps, and ability to make friends everywhere.
Tom was not only the star of The Tom Alwine Morning Show, but he wrote, and performed, the theme song, lovingly titled by his children as, "The Morning Song". The Tom Alwine Show aired daily in the family home while the host got ready for work and attempted to wake his children for school. He was an active member and sang and played guitar at Freedom Church in Valley Park, and loved riding his motorcycle.
He leaves behind his five children: Crystal (Jake Tiefenauer) Alwine, Jessica (Joel Molina) Alwine, Holly Alwine, Kayla Alwine, Thomas D. (Katherine) Alwine; four beyond adored grandbabies, Julian, Madelyn, Theo, and Sophia; his mother, Bernadette Alwine; siblings: Joel (Jane) Alwine, Peggy (Brian) Prieshoff, Nancy (Heath) Fervida, and Jane (Jim) Fabian; and many nieces and nephews.
Tom was preceded in death by his father, Joel D. Alwine and sister, Mary Weigt (nee Alwine).
