Thomas R. Luecke

Age 74 years, of Brookfield, Wisconsin, passed away unexpectedly and entered eternal life on August 30, 2025, while in rehab following a fractured femur.

Tom was preceded in death by his parents, Ralph and Arline Luecke, and his sister, Susan Fralick. He is survived by his brother, Jim (Mary) Luecke; niece, Lauren Flanders (John); and nephew, Jon, and other family and friends.

Tom graduated from Concordia High School and Valparaiso University. He dedicated nearly four decades of his professional life to US Bank in Milwaukee, where he built a long-standing career.

He enjoyed a great meal at the many fine dining restaurants in the Milwaukee area. He was an avid reader of varied interests, including travel, finance, food & wine, politics, and local and international news.

For the past ten years, Tom made his home at Sutter Creek, where he found companionship and community among both staff and fellow residents, including sipping his favorite Scotch with his Happy Hour Crew.

In honoring Tom's wishes, no funeral or memorial service will be held.
