Thomas M Sheridan
May 5, 1957 – January 29, 2022
Chicago transplant to the land of 10,000 lakes passed away in Rochester, MN on January 29, 2022 at the age of 64. Minnesota grabbed Thom’s heart and he called it home for more than 1/2 his life. Thom loved his adopted home state and the many people who became his extended family. While Thom’s passing was sudden and heartbreaking, we who loved him will continue to honor his legacy by living life to the fullest.
Thom’s heart was pure and his love complete. He was 6’5” of kindness. A gentle giant with a quick wit to match. Thom loved a good joke, especially his own!
The simplest pleasures in life brought joy to Thom. He LOVED his job and the people he worked with at Eagle Transport Services. He enjoyed an evening out with friends, with a cocktail of Bacardi, Diet Coke & lime in hand. While at home you could find Thom reading a good book or enjoying a documentary. Boating the Mississippi with his BOBs also brought Thom great pleasure.
Thom is preceded in death by his loving parents Edward and Veronica Sheridan. Survived by treasured siblings Edward (Deborah) Sheridan, Daniel (Margaret Jozsa) Sheridan, Kathleen (Raymond Schuemann Jr) Sheridan, Susan (Michael Esposito) Sheridan. Wonderful Uncle of Moira, Meaghan, Jacqueline, David, Nicholas, Caitlin, Brian, Kevin, and Samantha; as well as Colleen, Daniel, Meghan, Gina, and Nicholas. Great Uncle TT to Liam, Patrick, Michael, Finley, and Paxton. Loved by many cousins, family and friends in both Chicago and Rochester.
Celebration of life services will be planned in the Rochester and Chicago areas at a later date.
Rochester Cremation Services is assisting the family with arrangements. Memories and condolences of Thom may be shared at rochestercremationservicesmn.com
Wonderful cousin who truly enjoyed life and was always having fun. Our cousin will be missed greatly. May God comfort us all during this time and welcome him into His kingdom!
Uncle TT was the type of uncle who was fun and laid back. He always loved cracking jokes. I wished I’d spent more time with him. He will be missed greatly. Now, don’t you do eating that yellow snow up there and say hi to grams for me. Until we meet again
Thom was a really lovely person one of the kind that always be remembered I wish that he was still alive, will be so hard for me when I go to his office and see some one else on his desk, no matter how much I say about Thom still not be enough he was lovely friendly great person,
Thom was the big man in the middle for our HS basketball team that won the Catholic suburban championship in 1975. He was a fierce competitor and a clean player – no cheap shots. He had the toughest job on the court – in the paint and under the boards. Thom and I were in some honors classes together – he was a very smart fella and a funny and loyal friend. God bless Thom.
Thom was a family, it will be hard for all of us to let him go. He cared for all of us. And he was one to go to when we need help. He was always there for us. Thom you will be missed brother. May God bless his soul and welcome him to his kingdom.
It deeply saddened me to know that you left us but there are no goodbye for us. Wherever you are, you will always be in my heart and thoughts.
With all our heart, wishing you comfort and peace.
