Thomas Cullen Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Heritage Funeral Home – New Berlin on Feb. 11, 2026.
With heavy hearts, we remember Thomas J. "Tommy" Cullen, a devoted father, cherished grandpa, beloved brother, and loyal friend. Tommy's life was defined by his unwavering love for his daughter, Kelsie (Raul), and the joy he found in being "Grandpa" to Olivia. His family was his world, and he treasured every moment spent with them.

Tommy was the dear brother of Robert (the late Candice), Mary (Karen), and Margaret (Kevin), and the loving son of the late James and Shirley. He was a proud uncle to his nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews, and a steadfast friend to many who were fortunate to know him.

For over 30 years, Tommy worked as a skilled diesel mechanic, a testament to his dedication and work ethic. Outside of work, he found happiness in wrenching, hunting, and riding motorcycles. Yet, his greatest joy came from simple pleasures-sharing laughter with Kelsie and Olivia, lending a helping hand to anyone in need, and spending time with his loyal dog, Lucky.

His kindness, generosity, and sense of humor touched everyone he met.

A celebration of Tommy's life will be held on July 18th from 12-4pm at Matty's Bar & Grill (14460 College Ave, New Berlin), where family and friends will gather to honor his memory and the lasting impact, he made on all who knew him.
