Thomas Hook Obituary

Thomas James Hook

August 27, 1954 - October 25, 2025

South Jordan, UT-Thomas "Tom" James Hook died on October 25, 2025 at Riverway Assisted Living in South Jordan after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease. Tom was born in Fort Sill, Oklahoma on August 27, 1954 to James and Shirley Hook (née Thomas). Tom had one brother, Gary and one sister, Gayle. He graduated from Skyline High School in 1972 and then attended LDS Business College. He married his first wife, Sharon, in 1973. They had two children together, Jason and Nicole. Tom would go on to own and operate The Westerner Private Club in West Valley City, Utah. In 1987, Tom would marry his second wife, Janna, with whom he had his third child, James, and welcomed two step-children, Chuck and Chad. Tom also has many grandchildren who loved spending time with him.

Tom lived an adventurous life and had a love for the outdoors. During the summer, he looked forward to taking his family to Lake Powell, where they spent endless days boating, water skiing, and creating memories. When he wasn't out on the lake, Tom enjoyed skiing, swimming, camping, and river rafting. At home, he was always relaxing with a good movie and spending time with his dogs - He loved and spoiled each and every one of them completely. Tom was also an accomplished carpenter and mechanic.

Tom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2016. His last few years of life were spent at Riverway Assisted Living where he received wonderful, dedicated care. He was very fond of the staff members and he viewed them as friends more than anything else. In his last year of life, Tom was also cared for by Canyon Home Care & Hospice. He loved seeing his caretakers and his life was vastly improved by their kindness and loving care.

A memorial service will be held at Jenkins-Soffe Funeral Home in South Jordan, Utah on Thursday, November 6, 2025 from 4:30pm - 6:30pm.

Tom, Mike Alston, Mark Schvandeldt and myself had some great times together in high school. No-one had a laugh like Tom and his laugh was contagious!. RIP old buddy.

I am so sad to hear about the loss of Tom. He was a dear friend of mine growing up and I was lucky enough to help in his business life for a time also. It's so hard when life takes us in different directions and we lose track of those we love. I want to send my heartfelt love to all the Hook clan. David Eddington
