Thomas J. Neeves, Sr.

Thomas J. Neeves, Sr., of Rye, passed away tragically on October 5, 2025, at age 68. Thomas was born on December 16, 1956, to Thomas & Rilla Mae Neeves. He graduated from Pace University and worked for many years as an accountant in private practice. Tom had an incredible sense of humor, always employing quick wit and a clever jab. He was intelligent with a kind and generous heart. An accident almost twenty years ago left him with a physical handicap, yet his spirit and perseverance continued to inspire, especially as an avid sports fan of the NY Yankees, but most importantly on the sidelines of the Rye High School football field, rooting for his son, TJ and his Rye Garnet teammates. For Tom being on the sidelines of the game with TJ leveled the playing field, and all disabilities disappeared and the only thing people saw were a father and son bonding over football.

Thomas is survived by his mother, Rilla Mae, and his cherished children Elizabeth Neeves, "Liz", Elinore Neeves, "Ellie" and Thomas J. Neeves, Jr. "TJ" and his beloved nieces and nephews, Angeline McInerny, Adrianna Masters, Tyler Brandel and Taeden Brandel. He is also survived by his siblings, Linda Neeves, Michael Neeves and Mark Neeves and his former spouse, Laura Labriola. To honor Tom's life, family and friends will gather on Monday October 13th from 4:00 -8:00pm at COXE & GRAZIANO FUNERAL HOME 767 E. Boston Post Rd Mamaroneck, 914-698-5968.
