Thomas Saeger, Jr. Obituary
Thomas S. Saeger, Jr., 55, of Bath-East Allen Township, PA, passed away suddenly on Saturday, January 17, 2026, at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Muhlenberg Campus in Bethlehem, PA, after being stricken at home. Born on October 10, 1970, in Allentown, PA, he was the beloved son of the late Thomas S. Saeger, Sr. and Sally B. (Cook) Saeger.
Thomas was the devoted husband of Heather E. (Harper) Saeger, with whom he shared 34 years of marriage, celebrating their anniversary on October 10, 2025.
A 1988 graduate of Northampton Area Senior High School, Thomas was employed by Universal Forest Products Co. in Stockertown, PA, where he proudly served as a Shipping Supervisor for 28 years. He was a member of the Tri-Boro Sportsman’s Club in Northampton, PA, and in his earlier years generously gave his time as a football coach for the former Bath Lions Football Association.
Thomas had a deep love for riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle and traveling around the country with a close-knit group of friends. A lifelong Philadelphia Eagles fan, he followed the team with unwavering passion.
He was so proud of and loved spending time with his grandchildren Kaden, Elizabeth, Brantley, Eli, Ryleigh, Emilia, and Addison. Known for his kindness, he was always ready to help others and give of himself without hesitation.
Surviving, in addition to his wife Heather, are his daughters: Brittany L., wife of Douglas Frable of Palmerton, PA, and Erin E., wife of Jack Long of Bath, PA; his son, Jonathan T. Saeger and wife Emma of Rathdrum, ID; and seven cherished grandchildren. He is also survived by his sisters, Tricia Wieder of Danielsville, PA, Tammy Saeger of Bethlehem, PA, Sarah Saeger of Bath, PA, and Stephanie Saeger of Walnutport, PA; and his brothers, Timothy Saeger of PA and Daniel Harhart of Bath, PA.
