Tommy married his wife Hailey of six years on 01 April 2023. He was employed by Waypoint Marine. Tommy was a loving husband, father, son, brother, cousin and uncle. Tommy enjoyed life to the absolute fullest. He was an avid outdoorsman with a passion for fishing and hunting. He loved cooking out on his smoker for anyone and everyone. He felt the best out on the water, being on a boat was more like being in a second home to him. He loved to tinker with all types of mechanical work and was in his wife's own words her "Mr. Fix It." He had an unwavering love for life on the open road, just being on a bike. He often considered it his place of peace.
He will always be remembered for his goofy relentless personality. He was the kind of man that would give anyone the shirt off his back if they needed it. Although he was stubborn beyond all recognition, he truly had a kind heart and cared for everyone around him. Tommy is preceded in death by his great grandparents Art and Nancy Fritschle, Robert and Francis Dehner. And Linda Stage. Along with his grandfather John P. Schiller and uncle Charles (Chuck) Allen Schiller.

Jessica Dehner of Olney, Illinois and Cassandra Dehner of Indianapolis, Indiana. His loving grandparents Grandpa Steve and Susan (Granny) Neuman, in his own words, "My Granny was my first true love." And Thomas George Dehner, Sr. And let us not forget his aunts and uncles, cousins and many nieces and nephews and his in-laws. There are also his friends who cared for him deeply.
