Thomas Francis Lippe, Jr., 51, of Cocoa, Florida died on Saturday, September 6, 2025 with his loved ones by his side. Tom was born on February 20, 1974 in Worcester, Massachusetts where he lived most of his life.

He is survived by his wife of ten years, Naomi (Gemme) Lippe; his mother, Jackie Hastings and her partner, Bob Holley; his father, Thomas Lippe, Sr. and his wife Joanna; his sister, Laura Lippe-Polanco; his brother, Joseph Lippe and his wife, Tasha; and his five children: Ashley and her husband, Ron Arty; Steven Lippe (now Lyle Quinzell;) Tiffany Polanco; Katrina and her husband, Jeremy Davila; and Alana Lippe. He also leaves behind five grand-children; Dominic, Gracie-Ann, Kimora-Jo, Laila, and Antron, and several nieces and nephews. Tom loved his children with all his heart, and making memories with them, his nieces and nephews, and his grand-children was the passion of his heart.

Tom was somewhat of an enigma. He often played the tough guy, but was truly an angel in disguise. He was kind, generous, and always took the position to help someone other than himself no matter what the circumstances. If he believed in you, you had a friend for life. And when the chips were down, he found a way to laugh at the circumstance, and oddly enough, at himself.

Tom enjoyed fishing, hiking, sailboat racing, long walks, physical fitness, and going to the beach with family and friends. He loved to read and was a self-taught jack-of-all-trades. He was an extremely talented craftsman and took the utmost pride in any job he took on. He also could take apart any car and put it back together like it was new off the floor.

Tom will be sorely missed by his many friends, family, and work acquaintances. A Celebration of Tom's Life will be held on a future date to be announced in the coming weeks.

Our days are filled with grieving the hole that's left with you leaving.

May Our Lord and Savior bring Tom to God's Everlasting Love.
