Thomas Nerney Obituary

Thomas Richard Nerney

Thomas Richard Nerney, 60, raised in Concord and lately of Antioch, lost his life to misfortune during the accursed pandemic. Less will consequently be done in celebration of his life than is due; but it should be acknowledged that his light shone brightly into the hearts of many.
Tom was a beloved son and brother, and an old soul, who was charming, friendly, funny and witty. He was also a sports fan devoted to Bay Area teams.
Please reflect on the beauty and importance of life if you knew him.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Tom was a kindred soul, loved by all who knew him. He could win anyone over with his engaging smile. He will be dearly missed, but remain forever in our hearts.

Said so beautifully! Tom’s light shone on all who knew him. He adored his brothers, and embraced all those with a kind heart. He was truly an “angel unawares”
