Thomas D. Boecker left us far too soon on November 30, 2025, at the age of 59 .
Tom had a passion for fitness and was often found at the gym or biking, working out to stay healthy and strong. Whether it was boating on the weekends or hitting the golf course, he thrived on outdoor adventures. A devoted Vikings fan, Tom could often be heard during game days. His enthusiasm extended to his love of nice new cars and motorcycles. Tom had a special bond with his dogs, who brought him endless joy, companionship, and laughter. He loved his wife deeply, and together they created beautiful memories. Just a month ago they returned to Mexico and renewed their wedding vows.
Tom will be deeply missed by his wife Susan; his children Brandon (Kaylynn), Ashley, (Andrew Goble), Alex and Chris; grandchildren Ava, Mackenzie, Maison, Caelynn, Forrest, Oakley; siblings Ralph, John, Terri, Jason; mother Carol (Mike) Riley.
He was preceded in death by his father John.
A private family memorial service will be held at a later date. Cremation Services have been entrusted with O'Connell Family Funeral Homes & Cremation Services.
