Thomas D. Lynch, 80, of Cumming, Georgia, passed away peacefully on August 17, 2025, following a lengthy illness.
Tom is survived by his wife, Pat Lynch, his children, Jim (Deirdre) Lynch and Kelly (Dan) Sheehan, stepdaughter, Lisa Hostetler, and grandchildren: Dylan (Bridget) Lynch, Liam (Jess) Lynch, Daniel Sheehan, Alicia Sheehan, Katie Sheehan, Erin Sheehan, Morgan Moncrief, Jacob Moncrief and Khloe Hostetler. He also leaves behind five great-grandchildren, as well as his cherished siblings, Moira Crabtree, Dan and Joan Lynch, Dick O'Brien, Sheila and George Casey, Eileen and David Sussan, Liz and Rick Berman, and more than fifty nieces and nephews. While he will be missed, Tom's spirit and mischievous sense of humor will be kept alive with many stories of each niece believing they as Tom's very favorite would be rewarded with a Porsche at their 16th birthday and nephews wondering if Tom would pass down his crazy corduroy holiday pants.
Starting at an early age, sports were always an important part of Tom's life. At just eleven, he played in the Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA. His lifelong passion was golf. A proud member of Winged Foot for more than 40 years, Tom also honed his golf game at the most celebrated courses around the world.
Tom was a natural salesperson, spending his long and successful career in advertising sales at ABC and Blair Radio. He also had the opportunity to blend his personal and professional passions with consulting work with the PGA.
Tom was known for his spirit and sense of purpose. He believed in lifting others, particularly young boys facing life challenges, helping them nurture their talents and discover positive, productive paths forward.
Tom will be remembered for his love for his devoted wife, Pat, his extended family, and a deeply competitive spirit shrouded in warmth and wit.
