Thomas Cone Obituary
4/16/1952 - 7/14/2020
Thomas Arthur Cone, "Tom", passed away unexpectedly the morning of July 14th 2020. He is survived by his loving daughter, Amanda Cone; his sister, Marcia Taylor (Denny); niece, Brooke Taylor and nephew, Chad Taylor. Preceded in death by his father, John P. Cone and mother, Jean S. Cone.
Tom was a 1970 graduate of Sylvania High School and raised his family in Sylvania. Tom was an avid fisherman in his youth, a passionate boater and loved watching NASCAR races. He spent the last 19 years working for Lowe's Home Improvement on Central Avenue where he made lasting friendships and customer relationships with people he loved to be around. Tom woke up everyday looking forward to seeing all of his friends at work.
Tom would always say that he was a very simple man. However, his love for his daughter, Amanda, was extraordinary. She was the love of his life and the center of his world. Tom would send Amanda a text every single morning saying "good morning kid". He was incredibly proud of Amanda's accomplishments and would brag about her to anyone that would listen.
Services will be private. Arrangements were provided by Walker Funeral Homes. Those wishing to make donations are asked to consider the American Heart Association or the Beach House Family Shelter in Toledo.

I am at a loss for words, Tom was my buddy, I will miss our daily fist bumps and the way he would answer his phone down in lumber. I will miss my Tom 2 (and then 2.3 when they switched the registers around) lumber and Lowes will never be the same without him! RIP Tom

There are no words. Tom was one of the first people to welcome me into the Lowe's family. He always had a smile. A treasure chest of knowledge. You will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Tom, I already miss you. I miss talking with you on my daily visit to Lowes and miss you harassing me. I miss our Saturday morning visits, before, or after I took care or your lawn.
Now when I enter Lowes, it just dont feel the same. So many people miss you my friend. Although we would all rather have you here with us, I certainly hope you went to a better place. You will never be forgotten. Rest In Peace buddy ❤

Tommy Two Tone, I will miss your smile and sence of humor. You made my day better everytime we talked. You were at the Lumber register the very first day I started at Lowe's 1614 as a new mom in a strange place, you made that day a great one and even Would hold my boy at Cashier meetings making that store feel like family. RIH SWEET MAN this store will never be the same.
