Thomas N. Teare, a cherished husband, brother, and son, passed away peacefully on August 19, 2025, in Claridon Township, Ohio, at the age of 73. Born on July 24, 1952, in Cleveland, Ohio, Thomas led a life marked by warmth, kindness, and a deep connection to his loved ones and community.
Thomas is lovingly remembered by his wife, Patrice (nee: Rhamy) Teare, who stood by his side through the journey of life. Their shared moments and devotion to one another reflect a partnership built on mutual respect and love.
He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Louise Teare, whose guidance and support shaped the man he became. Also mourning his loss is his brother, William Teare, who will forever hold the memories of their time together close to his heart.
Thomas leaves behind a legacy of love and compassion that will continue to resonate with those who knew him. His wisdom, his laughter, and his gentle spirit will be profoundly missed. Private family services are being held.
