Thomas Yacobozzi Obituary

Visit the Vandenberg Funeral Home - Tinley Park website to view the full obituary.

Tommy passed away peacefully with his family by his side. He is survived by his son, TJ (Chrissy), grandson Asher, father Tom (Dorothy), sister Lisa (Tom), brother Dave (Anne), and the love of his life JoAnn. He is preceded in death by his daughter Christa, mother Jean, and grandparents, aunts, and uncles.

He was a great mechanic for many years. Tommy was proud to serve in the Army and was proud of being a veteran. He loved life- vacations with JoAnn, his birds, and just sitting outside taking in the fresh air and sun. He loved cheering on the Packers and Nascar. His proudest achievements were his son and his daughter. He loved them both beyond words. He was ecstatic to become a grandpa. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him. The family takes comfort in knowing that he is reunited with family, especially his daughter and mother.

In lieu of flowers the family is asking for donations to the Gary Sinise Foundation, an organization that works with military and first responder families.
