Thomas Edward Whatley

Thomas Whatley, devoted husband, father, Marine, and friend, passed away peacefully at home on November 6, 2025, at the age of 63. A proud veteran of the United States Marine Corps, Thomas served his country with honor, courage, and an unshakable sense of duty-qualities that defined him throughout his life. He was a strong and steady presence-one of a kind in every way. Thomas took great pride in the work of his hands and could fix just about anything. He especially loved old Ford Broncos and never missed a chance to get a little mud on the tires. He found joy in the simple things and in the satisfaction of a job well done. Thomas leaves behind a legacy of strength, humor, and love that will live on through his family and friends. Semper Fi, Thomas. You'll always be our hero.
