Thomas Derosa

Thomas Stephen DeRosa October 28,1941-February 25, 2025 went peacefully to his lord and savior Jesus Christ with family at his side. Tom was a great man who lived an amazing life always putting his wife, children, grandchildren, and God first. Tom's smile, humor, and easy going ways with all he encountered made the world around him a much better place. Tom was born in St. Joseph, MI to Tom and Verda DeRosa in 1941. He met Nancy (Strejc) the love of his life, while attending Coloma High School and they were married in 1961 at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Watervliet, MI. They were married 62 years before her passing in January 2024. One of Tom's true joys in life were his dogs (Charlie, Katie, and Gracie) he loved and cared for them as he did his entire family with all of his heart. Tom lived in Coloma, MI, Steamboat Springs, CO, Fort Collins, CO, Dunedin, FL, Bluffton, SC, and Oak Creek, WI. Tom is survived by his three children; daughter Lauren (Lynn), and son Greg (Michele) with granddaughters Carley, Abbie, and Jolie, and son Brad (Amy) with granddaughters Josie and Kenna. The family will have a private mass for Tom on March 21st at Divine Mercy parish in South Milwaukee WI
