Obituary published on Legacy.com by Brown Funeral Home & Cremation Services - Niles on Feb. 4, 2026.
Thomas Michael Mossell, 67, passed away on Monday, February 2, 2026, in South Bend, Indiana.

Thomas was born on July 16, 1958 in South Bend, Indiana to the late John Joseph Mossell and Norma Constance (Cole) Herrmann.

Along with his parents, Thomas was preceded in death by his son, Tommy Mossell; four brothers, John Mossell, Charles Mossell, Richard Mossell, and Michael Mossell, and sister, Connie Balint.

Left to cherish the memory of Thomas is his loving wife of many years, Rosemarie (Szoke) Mossell; children, Shannon Marie Mossell and Charles J. Mossell Jr; grandchildren, Kaylee Ciesielski and James (Kylie) Ciesielski; great grandchildren, Drezden Ciesielski, Remmington Ciesielski, Asher Ciesielski, and August Ciesielski; sisters, Ginnie (Joe) Ganser and Mary (James) Johnson, and many nieces, nephews, in-laws, as well as several friends he made in his lifetime.

Thomas was a man who truly knew how to enjoy life and appreciate the simple moments. He found happiness riding his four-wheeler, feeling the freedom of the open air, and unwinding while playing Farm Town. One of his greatest joys was cooking-he loved spending time in the kitchen, experimenting with new recipes, and sharing meals made with care and pride.

Above all else, Thomas was a devoted family man. His family was the center of his world, and his love for them was evident in everything he did. He valued time together, laughter, and the everyday moments that make life meaningful. Thomas lived life to the fullest, facing each day with strength and determination. He fought bravely until the very end, never giving up and never losing his love for those around him. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered for his strong spirit, kind heart, and the lasting love he leaves behind.

In keeping with Thomas' wishes, there will be no services held at this time.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Brown Funeral Home.
