Thomas Walker Beaudreau, 52, of Cosby, Tennessee, passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 27, 2025, at his mother's home. Tom was born on January 20, 1973, in Concord, California. He moved to Sevier County, Tennessee, at the age of 16, which became his lifelong home. Tom will be remembered for his ability to naturally excel at the things he was interested in, such as mechanical and woodworking. When he was young, he could fix anything; he could build anything with exacting precision. He had a charming personality and made friends easily.

Tom is preceded in death by his brother, Chris Chapman.

He is cherished and survived by his devoted and constant caregiver, his mother, Marylou Beaudreau; his father, Earnest Michael Beaudreau; and his only son, Walker McMillan. Tom is also survived by his sisters, Gwen Gatti and Jennifer Steele; and his many brothers: Guy Chapman (Patricia), Micheal Chapman, Wayne Chapman, Glen Chapman, Richard McGregor (Karolyn), Joe McGregor (LeAnn), Joshua Beaudreau (Kandis), and Patrick Beaudreau (Ashli)

Details regarding services will be announced by the family at a later date.
