Tom Paskewich Obituary

Paskewich, Tom OAK RIDGE, Tenn. Our hearts ache over the loss of Tom Paskewich on March 31, 2022. Tom was a kind and loving husband to Bonnie Paskewich, as well as an amazing father to his son and daughter. His grandchildren meant the world to him. Though Tom is no longer with us, he will never be forgotten. He leaves a huge hole in the hearts of his family and friends who were always entertained by his stories, possible advice, and laughter. He always had a smile on his face and a good joke on his lips. There is nothing he enjoyed more than an interesting conversation. Tom always had a way of being the life of the party. There will be a family celebration of his life on the lake, in his boat, with food, drinks, laughter and good memories shared, and Neil Diamond blaring in the wind. This is how he would have wanted his life celebrated. Please celebrate the good memories you have of Tom and remember, life, no matter what it brings... Live it! To the fullest! He will be missed more than any words could express; but he will be forever in our hearts until we meet again! In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you hug your loved ones tight and consider donating to a local charity that spreads love in the community.

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

Dad, I´m so thankful for all the memories we shared together. I only wish you were here to make more.

Not a day goes by that I don´t think about you. I wish I still had your wisdom to guide me and your daily jokes to get me through my day. You were the guiding light in my life, and today especially I´m reminded of how lucky I was to have you for as long as I did. I love you to the moon and back.

I love you Dido, love always - Rebecca

In Memory Of My Dido,

If I could write a story
It would be the greatest ever told
Of a kind and loving father Who had a heart of gold

I will remember all YOU taught me
I'm hurt but won't be sad

Because you will send me down the answers and you will always be
MY DAD (Dido)

So very sorry to read of Tom´s passing. I worked with Tom at Public Health and we shared some interesting stories. He was a character for sure and left his mark in this world. Blessings to his family.

My heart goes out to Toms family! He used to come into My restaurant ( Bobby Browns ) one of his favorite funny sayings was he and Bonnie were separated, which usually meant , she was on her way!!! everyone loved him at the restaurant! Always smiling and ready to share a big hug with you! What a legacy of love and kindness to leave behind! Prayers for the family.

The loss of a best childhood friend and lifelong comrade is never an easy one . I will cherish the memory cruising Troy in Wonder Car with Peppermint Schnapps as our mouthwash .
We always got together in recent visits back home and the conversations were always pleasing and humorous .
Tom never failed to introduce me as his best man and it constantly assured me of the bond we shared . You will never be forgotten my friend . Until we meet again , in your current heavenly home . My thoughts of you and all those shared memories will always bring a smile upon this face . Love You dear friend

Bonnie,Scott,Rebecca and family, Remember you still have each other and Tom is looking out for you. The bond you have with each other will sustain you through this tough time.
I am truly saddened at the passing of Tom. I recall we would sit on the lanai in Florida each with three fingers Tom had bourbon and I would have Scotch. We solved many of the problems of the world several times over and never expected any fanfare.
Rest In Peace Friend.
