Thomas M. Leary

Thomas Michael Leary, 56, of Rockland MA, passed away at South Shore Hospital on June 15, 2025 with his beloved wife, Karen Leary, and his two children Ryan and Allyson at his side.
Thomas was born on December 9, 1968 in Braintree, Massachusetts to John and Phyllis Leary. He was the youngest of four children: John "Jack", Michael, and Daniel. Thomas grew to love the game of golf, hockey, and baseball through his experiences playing sports together with his father and brothers. He graduated from Blue Hills Regional Technical School in 1987 and started his own family shortly after in 1991.
Thomas enjoyed scuba diving and exploring all the wonders the ocean had to offer. He was a member of the Holbrook Sportsmen's Club where he enjoyed spending his weekends with friends in shooting and marksman competitions. Thomas loved to travel and he took many trips with Karen to Nascar race circuits around the United States, Disney World, and the Caribbean Islands.
Ryan and Allyson, his two children, were his entire world. His children gave him strength, joy, and love. He cherished his family and was a loving father. Thomas was at every game, performance, and recital of Allyson and Ryan, and cheered them on through their successes and failures. He was so proud of Ryan and Allyson and all they accomplished during his life.
Thomas had an enormous heart. If his family, friends, or even a stranger were in need, he would drop everything to help. He didn't do things for praise or recognition, it was simply his instinct to ease others' hardships. His empathy ran deeply and he made sure those around him felt seen and heard no matter what they were going through.
Thomas is survived by his wife, Karen, his brothers John "Jack" Leary Jr. and his wife Betty of Stoughton, Michael Leary and his wife Mary of Sandwich, Daniel Leary and his wife Cindy of Londonderry, his son, Ryan Leary and his fiance Aileen Konanez of Warren, his daughter, Allyson Leary, and many nieces and nephews and their families.
Thomas was preceded in death by his parents, John and Phyllis Leary.
