Thomas Pekich Obituary
Thomas J. "Tom" Pekich, 75, of Loudon, TN, passed away at his home unexpectedly on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, after a three decades long battle with different cancers.
Born March 6, 1949, in New York, he was a son of the late Peter Pekich and Anna (D'Angelo) Pekich.
Tom was a 1967 graduate of Brooklyn Tech High School. He graduated with a Bachelor's Degree from Albany University and a Master's Degree from Penn State University. He was an engineer and leader in the Biotech industry.
Tom enjoyed watching and playing sports, music and spending time with his family.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother Frank. Tom is survived by his wife of 48 years, Susan E. "Sue" (Kuhns) Pekich; brother Anthony (Barbara); son Joe (Jillian) Pekich; daughter Abby (Jordan) Smoke; grandchildren Sadie, Nolan, Quinn, Callie, Lucia and Tommy, as well as nieces and nephew.
Tom was a devoted husband, father and grandpa who loved his family very much! Tom overcame great adversity in his life, all the while maintaining a positive outlook. We will miss him dearly but the lessons that he taught us on how to live through his own actions will be with us forever.
Funeral arrangements were entrusted to the Curran-Shaffer Funeral Home and Crematory Inc., in Apollo, PA.
A Celebration of Life service will be held for Tom on Friday, March 21, at 1 p.m. at the Community Church in Tellico Village.
