Tom had a passion for many things, including Harley Davidson’s, football, cars and water skiing. He was a very detail oriented, hardworking man who enjoyed detailing and fixing up cars to sell, driving semi for local businesses and listening to AC/DC. Once Tom started a project or task, he was one to get it done. But nothing brought him more joy than spending time with his family and friends. Although he may not have shown it in the traditional sense, he was a very loving, caring and sincere man who will be missed by many.

Left to cherish his memory are his sons; AJ (Kim) of Winnebago and Jesse (Alesha) of Ft. Worth, TX. His parents Tony and Leta of Winnebago, sister Tamara (Tom) Haight of Rochester and Tara (Brent) Collins of Minnetrista. Nieces; Ashley (Dan) Stensland, Kathryn and Kristin Collins, nephews; Seth and Eli Haight as well as many other extended family members and friends.

He is preceded in death by his grandparents; Anton and Bertha Alleven and Virgil and Rosalia Lust and his brother Tim, along with several aunts and uncles.
