It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Thomas Rae Mowder, loving husband of Elizabeth Mowder, father of Robert Mowder, and cherished member of the community. Tom, born in Robertsville, OH on March 6, 1947, to Lee and Madelyn Mowder, graduated from East Canton High School in 1965. He dedicated his career to home improvement, working for Canton Drop Forge, Atlantic Pools, and owning and operating Atrium Home Improvement. Throughout his life, Tom found joy in playing games with his family, particularly euchre and cribbage. He was a member of the William McKinley Masonic Lodge in Canton and proudly served in the Army.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by brothers Jack Mowder and Bob Mowder, and sister Jean Braun. Tom is survived by his wife Elizabeth Ann Mowder, his son Rob Mowder (Valerie), stepson Russ Brown (Polly), stepdaughter Paula Brahler, and a special thank you to brother-in-law Bob Emmert for all your care and support.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the William McKinley Masonic Lodge in Tom's memory. No services per Tom's request.
