Thomas DeBello Obituary
Our hearts are broken as we say goodbye to Thomas James DeBello, our beloved partner, brother, uncle, and friend, who passed away on January 7, 2026, at the age of 50. Tom's kindness, humor, and generosity touched everyone who knew him. He had a remarkable ability to make people feel valued and seen, and his presence brought joy and comfort to all around him.
Tom was passionate about his work as a web developer, server host, and IT service developer, where his dedication and skill made a lasting impact. He also enjoyed his hobbies, including gaming, and in recent years, he found peace and delight in taking walks around Shanley Park, where he loved watching the turtles. His laughter, wisdom, and warmth will be deeply missed, but his spirit will live on in the cherished memories of family and friends.
He leaves behind his life partner Sherry Gabinelli; his brother Michael (Holly) DeBello; nieces Robin Belmares and Allissa DeBello; nephews Joseph, Anthony, and Andrew DeBello; and many extended family members. He was preceded in death by his mother Janice Hoover and his nephew Michael "Mikey" DeBello.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 1pm, Wednesday, January 21, 2026, at Martin's Funeral Home in Granbury.
