Thomas Cooksey Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Michigan Memorial Funeral Home, Inc. on Mar. 29, 2026.
Thomas Alfred Cooksey, born on July 8, 1952, in Trenton, Michigan, passed away at the age of 74 on March 28, 2026, in his hometown of Trenton.

Thomas had a deep love for nature and spent countless hours tending to his garden, nurturing plants that flourished under his care. His passion for cooking brought joy to family gatherings, as he delighted in preparing meals that warmed both the heart and soul. During the holiday season, his extensive collection of Christmas ornaments was a testament to his love for the festive spirit, bringing light and joy to all who visited.

Thomas is preceded in death by his beloved parents, James and Elizabeth Cooksey, his nephew Darin Cooksey, and his brother-in-law Richard Simons. He leaves behind cherished memories with his siblings, Mary Ann Simons and Robert (Dawn) Cooksey. His warmth and kindness will be missed by all who knew him.

In remembering Thomas, we celebrate a life filled with simple pleasures, shared laughter, and the beauty he brought into the world. His legacy lives on through those who loved him dearly.
