Thomas Fletcher Obituary

Fletcher, Thomas M.
LATHAM - Thomas M. Fletcher, 75, of Latham, passed away peacefully on February 9, in the comfort of his home, surrounded by family.
Thomas was born on October 23, 1950, to Ralph and Elizabeth (Winkler) Fletcher. He was born and raised in Rochester, N.Y. Thomas leaves behind his wife, Patricia Shoemaker; his two children, Jeremy Fletcher and Amanda Fletcher (Cody Pine); and his beloved grandson, Kyler Pine. He is survived by his siblings, Kathy Fletcher, Sue Koch (John), Nancy Reinhardt (Marty), John (Carolyn) Fletcher and Jim (Libby) Fletcher; along with numerous nieces, nephews and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents; and brother, Douglas (Suzy) Fletcher.
He loved many things in life, but few more than the game of golf. The course was his happy place, where he found joy, challenge and an audience for his endless amount of dad jokes. The only thing he loved more than golf was spending time with his grandson. The love he had for him was unmistakable and profound.
He will be deeply missed by his family, friends and all who were lucky enough to know him. While we mourn his loss, we are eternally grateful for the love he gave so freely, and the memories that will forever live in our hearts.
Calling hours will take place on Sunday, February 15, 2026, from 1 to 3 p.m., at The Dufresne & Cavanaugh Funeral Home, 149 Old Loudon Rd., Latham, N.Y. For further information, full obituary, or to express a sentiment of condolence, please visit www.dufresneandcavanaugh.com
