The Daily Sentinel page 6A Obituary - September 11, 2019
Thomas Thoele December 1, 1964 - September 3, 2019 Thomas Harrison Thoele entered this world as a force of nature on December 1, 1964. He was born, the youngest of nine children, to Aubrey and Mary Thoele (both deceased). They had a full house already, but with Tom, they were complete. Tom had a sometimes shocking and always electric personality. He lived to make you laugh. He was devilishly and deviously funny! When he wasn’t shocking you with some ridiculous thing he was planning to do, he was an incredible and accomplished carpenter, who loved his work. If you needed it, he could fix it or build it. He was even named in the “Book of Who’s Who” when he worked for Structural Associates. He was currently working with Merrit and Associates. Tom grew up in Grand Junction, but his favorite place was Lake Powell. The Thoele Family spent a lot of time there, and held deep memories for him, of his family having fun all together. It was his home away from home. Tom and Holly had a boat at Lake Powell as well. Over the years tons and tons of fun, mischief and adventure was had. He was always up for a party and threw quite a few. Tom left this world on September 3, 2019, at 1:00 a.m. He was with wonderful friends, Brody, Kelsie (Red), and Scott having a great time. He was joking around until the very last minute. He will be missed by many. Tom is survived by siblings, Barbara Alberty, Mark Thoele, Rita Thoele, and Robert Thoele (dec.), Paulette Roskos, Jeanne Thoele and Joseph Thoele and Jeffery Thoele (dec.) He is also survived by ex-wife, Holly Owen, his forever person, and his dog, Tess. Since Tom wouldn’t have it any other way there will be a Going Away Party at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 3, 2019, at Wrigley Field Sports Bar, 1810 North Ave., Grand Junction, CO 81501.
