Thomas Leo THESIER

Thomas Leo Thesier Jr., known affectionately as Tom, passed away on August 30, 2024, at the age of 73 in Mason, Michigan. Born on July 3, 1951, in Carthage, New York, Tom grew into a man of exemplary character, known for his caring, giving nature, and selfless demeanor, complemented by a great sense of humor.

Tom graduated from Brighton High School before earning a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Michigan State University. His professional life was marked by his entrepreneurial spirit, owning the John Deere Dealership in Mason and working for Allstate Insurance, where he was respected for his dedication and work ethic.

Beyond his professional endeavors, Tom was deeply passionate about the outdoors. He was an avid hunter and fisherman, a passion that paralleled his commitment to the Buckskin Horse Association of Michigan, where he served as president in the late 1980's. His leadership and enthusiasm for the Buckskin Quarter Horse breed left a lasting impact on the community.

Family was the cornerstone of Tom's life. He leaves behind his beloved wife, Judy Thesier, whom he married on November 12, 1977, at Brighton St. Patrick's Church. He was a devoted father to Thomas Thesier III, Stacey Marsh, Stefanie Baker (Jason), and Jeff Thesier, and a cherished grandfather to Drake, Brooks, Crew Marsh, and Ronan Baker. His mother, Carol Jean Thesier, and siblings Bill Thesier, Sue McKnight, Jim Thesier, Bob Thesier, and Becky Sellers, also survive him.

Tom's legacy is carried forward not only by his family but also through the countless lives he touched with his generosity and spirit. His memory will be cherished by all who knew him, as a testament to a life well-lived and a man greatly loved.
