Thomas Avino Obituary

AVINO, Thomas William, 62, of Glen Allen, Va., passed away on January 5, 2023. He was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas Avino and Theresa Antoinette Avino. Thomas is survived by his beloved wife, Kimberly Ann Avino; his six beautiful children, Thomas Anthony Avino, Nicholas Domenic Avino, Kerri Ann Megivern and her husband, Terrance Ruffner and family, Christopher Allen Quinones, Kirk Edward Quinones and wife, Kayla Cleveland Quinones and family, Catherine Ann Avino; sister, Gina Rose Dirlam and family; brothers, Aniello Joseph Avino and wife, Sonja Nichelle Avino and family, Anthony Francis Avino and family; and his faithful beagles, Max, Vino and Brandy. Thomas was known as a kind, genuine soul who never met a stranger and always had a joke ready. He was extremely proud of his Italian heritage and loved to cook for his family and friends. He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather, and was always his family's cheerleader in all of their endeavors. His laughter and his light will be truly missed. The family will celebrate Thomas with a service 2 p.m., Friday, January 13, at Bliley's, 8510 Staples Mill Road, with visitation one hour prior.

My sincere sympathy´s to the Avino family. I knew Tom since early 1980s and always thought of Tom highly and he was a great guy. One of a kind. I´m so sorry.

Our parents were great friends over many years. As kids we often played together whenever those gatherings took place. One of my fondest memories was the time we visited Fairfax and there was never a dull moment. I can still hear the sound of Tommy´s laugh, and the others who cheered him on following suit as we jumped off the beds using them as trampolines! The sounds of your Mom and Dad often telling us to quiet down. I can hear her yelling your name in that beautiful accent ! But that never stopped us one bit. Throughout the years we always managed to stay connected. We always enjoyed sharing the memories of days gone by and our Italian bloodlines. I´ll never forget your trips to NY and especially your genuine care for people who you always made feel special and loved. I know your legacy of love will forever live on through the reflections of your beautiful family. I will cherish our friendship forever until the end of time. Rest in Forever Paradise my dear childhood lifelong friend.
