Thomas Wallen Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born in 1959, Tom proudly served his country as a member of the United States Navy. After his military service, he devoted himself to working hard for his family.
Tom's passion for sports was a central part of his life, whether he was watching a game on TV or enjoying time with family and friends, sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm for all things sports-related. But above all, he was a devoted family man who cherished his wife, Erlinda, his children, Ava, Obadiah, and Evonne, and his granddaughters. His love for them was limitless, and he would have done anything for their happiness and well-being.
He was known for his sharp mind, his kind heart, and his ability to bring calm and wisdom to any situation. His legacy of strength, intelligence, and love will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
Tom is survived by his loving wife, Erlinda Wallen, his children, Ava Wallen, Obadiah Wallen, and Evonne Wallen, his 7 granddaughters and his many dear friends and extended family.
Tom will be remembered for his unwavering love for his family, his service to his country, and his kind and strong spirit that touched everyone who knew him. Toms family finds comfort knowing that his love, his spirit, and his strength will continue to guide them through life, as he will always be in their hearts. May he rest in peace.
