MISHOE, Thomas "Tom" M., Jr., age 69, of Midlothian, Va., was called home to heaven on Saturday, January 8, 2022 and reunited with his parents, Rev.

Family remaining to cherish his memory include his loving wife of 47 years, Dana; daughters, Katy Parkes and husband, Brandon, MacKinsey Foust and husband, Kyle; and grandchildren, Emerson, Oliver, Winnie and Hollis.

He was born on April 5, 1952, in Horry County, South Carolina. It was here that Tom's love for the beach began. As a young boy, he enjoyed fishing with his dad and brother, eating seafood and spending time with cousins at family reunions. When he had a family of his own, beach vacations each year were spent building sandcastles and boogie boarding with his daughters and annual family bocce ball tournaments. Later in life, Tom enjoyed long walks on the beach with his wife and collecting seashells with his oldest granddaughter.

Tom had a thirst for knowledge and was a lifelong learner. He graduated from Hampden-Sydney College in 1974. At HSC, he was an active member of the Sigma Nu Fraternity, serving as Commander and he cherished these lifelong friendships. Tom earned his M.B.A. from Virginia Tech and loved cheering on his Hokies. As a Certified Public Accountant and Personal Financial Specialist, Tom had a long and successful career.

Tom will leave a lasting impact on all who knew him. To his family, he will be remembered as an amateur chef, wine connoisseur, '70s classic rock expert and sports enthusiast. Above all, Tom was a man of integrity and honor and used his gifts to faithfully serve the Lord. This legacy will live on through his grandchildren, who were his absolute pride and joy.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, April 2 at 10 a.m. at The Chapel, 3505 Old Hundred Road, Midlothian, Va. 23112. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Chapel (www.chapelrva.com) in his memory.
