Thomas Nendick Obituary
Tom was born on June 29, 1957 in Seattle, Washington to Harold & Maureen (Benson) Nendick. He grew up in Seattle and attended Catholic school until the eighth grade and graduated from Sammamish High School in 1975. Following graduation, Tom went to work for Goodyear Tire and spent most of his career in the tire business. He also managed Roslyn Nursery & Floral for his parents for the time that they owned that business.
Early in life, Tom was married to Karla and they were blessed with two children - Nikki and Ryan - before they later divorced. In 2000, Tom met Steve Talerico and they have remained life partners and best friends for the last 25 years. Tom loved gardening, working in the yard and walking his beloved pups - Carly and Rocky. He also enjoyed volunteering his time to help at the Roslyn Historical Museum.
Tom is survived by his partner, Steve Talerico; children Nikki Nendick and Ryan Nendick (Lynzi); grandchildren Kinsley and Raiden; siblings Harold "Moose" Nendick (Beth), Kathy Roskie (Earl), and Rita Jones (Jeff); as well as Steve's family including Garhett, Taryne, and Carson and their mother Melody; numerous nieces and nephews, his Canadian cousins and many dear friends.

O the memories I have had with Tom are to numerous to mention. However my favorite memory is when we opened up Roslyn Nursery along with Stevie, Pam, Maureen , Harold and several others! What a happy day that was for all of us and so much hard work to get it up and running! It was a beautiful moment in time for all of us. There was never a dull moment with Tom...he was quite the prankster back tben and kept us all guessing what his next move would be! I will forever miss his contagious smile and laugh with a bit of smirk behind each thought. I love you Tom and Stevie, my heart hurts and is broken for you. He was the love of your life. I love you too. For now, I'll see you Tom on the other side my dear friend...you were a light at the end of that tunnel that was so far away. Love you, RaeAnn
