Thomas Liveley Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Memorial Chapel of Richland on Dec. 15, 2025.
Thomas Aaron Liveley, son of the late Clyde Eugene Liveley, Sr. and Dovex Faye (Willis) Liveley was born in Maywood, California on June 1, 1948. He grew up and attended school in Maywood.

Thomas met Delda "Diane" Carroll, the precious woman he chose to spend the rest of his life with. They married January 16, 1982 in Victorville, California. Thomas and Diane were blessed with over 43 years together and three wonderful children, Jason, Matthew, and Season.

The family moved to Richland, Missouri in 2009, where they lived until Thomas's passing on the morning of Sunday, December 14, 2025, with his loving family by his side, having attained the age of 77.

Thomas, auto mechanic by trade, enjoyed working on cars most of his life. He worked hard to support the family he loved. In his spare time Thomas hit the road riding his motorcycle. However, spending time with his grandkids brought him the greatest joys that life had to offer. His hugs made them feel safe and loved. They were his world and he would do anything for them!

He was preceded in death by his parents, Clyde, and Dovex.

Thomas is survived by his loving wife, Diane Liveley of the home; three children: Jason Porter, Sr. (Cynthia) of Richland, MO, Matthew Liveley (Cari) of Richland, MO, and Season Liveley of Woodstock, GA; 12 grandchildren: Jason Jr, Savannah, Jayleen, Alexis, Ayden, Robert, Skylar, Easton, Hudson, Parker, Michael, and Aaron; 2 great-grandchildren: Christian and Jeremiah; several other relatives and many friends.

Life was an adventure for Thomas, and he enjoyed each new day and the people in it. Though the road of life could be rough and rocky at times, Thomas chose to make his life - the best life - and with the love of his family and friends, it truly was! Thomas is leaving behind a legacy of laughter, love, and kindness. He is gone but will never be forgotten.
