Thomas Thompson Obituary
It is with profound sadness that the family of Thomas Thompson, age 64, of Elizabeth, New Jersey, announces his passing on September 8, 2025. A devoted father and cherished friend, Thomas brought warmth, love, and steadfast devotion to all who had the privilege of knowing him. Born March 24, 1961, he leaves behind a legacy rooted in family, kindness, and quiet strength.
Thomas was a loving and devoted father whose pride in his children knew no bounds.

His kindness extended beyond his immediate circle—always the neighbor willing to lend a hand, he was someone people could count on in both big and small moments. Though his passions were many, whether a favorite pastime, a shared hobby, or a personal tradition, they all reflected his warmth and sincerity.
