Thomas Culotta Obituary

Published by Legacy on Jun. 18, 2025.
Thomas Michael Culotta, son of Robert Culotta and Patricia Tragser, was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on September 13, 1957. He departed this life on June 4, 2025. Thomas graduated from Parkville High School, Parkville, Maryland, and also attended Piney Point.
Thomas worked for Comcast Cable/Xfinity for over 30 years. He worked his way up from an installer to a lead five technician. Tom was a dedicated employee and would always lend a hand wherever needed. Everyone called him "Mr. Comcast." After retiring from Comcast, Tom worked for Accutrench Contracting LLC as a Fiber Coordinator. Thomas served as a Merchant Marine in the 1970s, shipping out from the Baltimore Harbor.
Thomas had a passion for spending time with his family and friends while cooking them great meals, listening to music, playing his guitar, and playing Texas Holdem. As a true Italian man, his love language was feeding; even the dog always expected cheese when Tom stood up.
In addition to parents, Thomas was preceded in death by his sister, Jessica Culotta; stepmother, Daria Culotta; stepfather, John Tragser; and niece, Jennifer Graham. Tom leaves to cherish his memory, his wife of 38 years, Michelle Grace Culotta; siblings Linda Graham, Ellen Lasarko, Tony Culotta, Jessica Culotta; his son, Eric Daniel Culotta; his daughter, Nicole Marie Culotta; grandchildren, Georgia Rayne Culotta (Nichole's daughter) and Violet Mueller (Eric's daughter). Tom was admired by a multitude of nieces and nephews, with whom he shared and cherished many delightful memories.
