Thomas White Jr Obituary
Thomas Howard White Jr. passed away December 12, 2023 at home; 59 years old.
Tom lived in Kent, Ohio most of his life. He was a graduate of Southeast High School, class of 1982. Tom worked at Step 2 in Streetsboro Ohio where he replaced parts for 31 years. His nieces called him “Uncle Tom the Elf,” because he made toys. They so endearingly thought he worked for Santa. He loved watching sports, especially the Browns and Guardians. He enjoyed grilling all summer. He especially enjoyed beating his brother Mark in fantasy football. His laugh was infectious and will be missed.
Tom is survived by his wife Laura (Sharish) of 32 years. He leaves his mother Sandra White (Carden), his sister Grace (Keith) Angel, brother Mark (Kristine) White, brother Donald (Yulia) White, sister Sara (Rick) Legg, and sister Beth (Sam Kennington) Rollyson, mother -in-law Susann Sharish, brother-in-law Randall Sharish, sister-in-law Melanie Sharish, brother-in-law Stephen Sharish, and sister-in-law Mollie (Jeffrey) Burns; numerous nieces and nephews, as well as great nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles.
He was preceded in death by his father Thomas Howard White Sr , father-in-law Thomas Sharish and his grandparents.
A private celebration of life will be held.
