Thomas Angelo Colombini

Thomas Angelo Colombini passed away peacefully on February 19, 2026, at the age of 75, with his daughter Jami Arami and his grandchildren, Yasmeen and Amir, by his side.

Thomas was charismatic and quick with humor. Handsome and engaging, he had a way of connecting with people and bringing warmth and laughter to those around him. He carried a resilient spirit and a positive outlook on life, always striving to make the best of whatever circumstances he found himself in.

Born into a proud Italian Catholic family, Thomas carried that heritage with him throughout his life. His life was marked by both challenges and meaningful growth. In the later chapter of his life, he found healing through recovery from addiction. This experience led him to meaningful work helping others who were struggling with addiction, a mission that brought him great pride and purpose.

Above all, Thomas loved his family-both the one he was born into and the one he found at Our Common Ground, including his best friend and confidant, Todd Henderson. Though his life included many ups and downs, his story is ultimately one of resilience, redemption, and hope. Those who knew him will remember his charm, his humor, and the strength of his spirit.

Thomas is survived by his children and his grandchildren.

A memorial service to celebrate Thomas's life will be held on March 20, 2026, at 12:30 p.m. in the Main Chapel at the Italian Cemetery, 540 F Street, Colma, California.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Our Common Ground of Redwood City, a cause that was close to his heart. Donations can be made at https://ocgworks.org/giving/.
