Thomas Ocheltree Obituary

Thomas (T.R.), Alexandra and MacKenzie Ocheltree
09/19/1968 - 10/05/2025
Thomas Russell Ocheltree, Alexandra Grace Ocheltree and MacKenzie Louann Ocheltree left this earth in early October, 2025. They departed way too soon and will be forever in our hearts.
Thomas Russell (T.R.) Ocheltree was born in Napa, CA September 19th, 1968. He grew up in Napa the youngest of six children. He was a very beloved member of our family who had many life long friends. Above all he was a wonderful, kind and attentive father to his beloved daughters, Alex and MacKenzie.
Alexandra Grace Ocheltree was born June 3, 2013 in San Francisco. She was a kind, sweet young lady who loved school, arts and crafts and crochet. She attended A. P. Giannini Middle School in San Francisco.
MacKenzie Louann Ochetree was born on March 8, 2016 in San Francisco. She loved playing with friends and her beloved puppy, Mango. She attended Sunset Elementary School in San Francisco.
They are survived by T.R.'s mother and Alex and MacKenzie's grandmother, Lou Ann Ocheltree. Additional survivors include brother Bob Ocheltree (Charise Ocheltree), sister Ann Kading (Kent Kading), sister Sue Sarka (Greg Sarka), sister Patty Finney (Gary Finney), nine nieces and nephews and three great nephews and one great neice. T. R. is preceded in death by his sister, Kathy Ocheltree and father, James (Jim) Ocheltree.
T. R.'s family wishes to thank the SFPD and coroner's office for their difficult work and support of our family. We also wish to thank the family members and wonderful circle of friends who have come to our aid. Thank you to Graham-Hitch Memorial Center.
A celebration of life ceremony will be held on a date, time and place to be determined.
In lieu of flowers or other gifts, the family wishes that donations be made to the girls school's or your local domestic violence prevention organization.

My heart is broken for the Ocheltree family. T.R. was my friend, my workmate and my roommate for many years while I lived in SF. He was very loved by all of us. We had so many great times together. I'm grateful to have shared those young days with him. I'm so sorry for this terrible loss.

Rest with the angels where only beauty surrounds you. The people who loved you will remember you not for how you left but will instead only remember everything extraordinary that you brought into their lives. Fly free

There are no words to soothe this tragic event! TR was a fun, loving, kind of guy and I am sure his girls were the same. Thoughts and prayers are with the entire Ocheltree family! May time bring peace!
