After going together for 3 years Tom married Jonel in May of 1979 and have been together for 47 years.  He was most proud of and dearly loved his family.  He looked forward to and enjoyed times spent together for holidays.  He loved getting away to their farm property where many good times were had by all. He loved traveling and exploring places with his wife and boys, in their motorhome…this was his very favorite thing to do. Tom was a very hard worker and he and Jonel worked hard as a team on many projects and taught their sons the value of working hard together as a unit. Tom will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

The family would like to thank the nurses and aides at the Sheridan of Creve Coeur for their loving care and Les Gholson for his special friendship and compassionate care.

A Message from Jarod

With a very heavy heart I am asking for prayers for my family. My dad passed away last night at 12:20 with us at his side! No matter how much you prepare for this your never ready! It seems so unfair! I feel that he didn't deserve this. Anyone who knew my dad knew how great of a man he was! He was such a caring loving man and would give his shirt off his back to a complete stranger. Dad loved his friends and family first and foremost and was always available no matter what or when you needed him. Most the time without even asking he was there. I have so many memories of my dad helping people. Strangers, neighbors, friends and even children that he literally took In and fed and showed them love, gave money to people in need and made sure they had roofs over their heads. Dad would tell me.... son we are put on this earth to help each other! There wasn't anything he wouldn't do for his friends! If they were going to war he was to. He taught me some of the most valuable things that I will forever hold true to.

He was such a strong caring man and had such a great sense of humor. He could make anyone laugh or brighten their day with his smile. He was the most real man I know. He didn't have the ability to beat around the bush or be fake and if he didn't like you..... well you knew it. But he never had one enemy that I met. Not one person that I knew that didn't like him or respect him.

Anyone who knew him would say what a hard worker he was. There wasn't anything he couldn't do or a project to big for him to tackle. He never stopped. From sun up till sun down he never stopped making a better life for his wife and two boys! Even in the nursing home when he wasn't doing well he said numerous times.... "come on I got to get going I got shit to do". The life that his hands built and the struggles that he went through to give his family a good life will never be forgotten! You are a hero in my eyes! I can only strive to be half the man you were! I know you are in heaven now with your other friends and family and I am looking forward to a big hug and that smile when I get there! Please put in a good word for me dad!  I LOVE YOU!

P.S. as I promised you...... I will look over mom and Todd and make sure they are safe and taken care of. I know that was a big worry for you so rest easy!!!!

Message from Dana

Yesterday, was exceptionally hard. Our family lost one of the biggest, most caring man, husband, father, Uncle, brother, friend, patriarch's in our family. My brother-in-law Tom Rosemann, my oldest sister, Jonel Rodney Rosemann, her dearest, beloved husband, my dear nephews, Todd Rosemann Jarod Rosemann their dearest beloved father. We are all in total shock, no matter how prepared you think you are, you never are, we knew the day would come. Tom, was stricken with Alzheimer's (frontal lobe), he went way to fast and too young, although, in another way a true blessing, to not have this extended too long, with this horrendous disease. Looking back, my sister, Jonel and Tom, and Chuck and I, were married two months apart, and planned to celebrate some day our 50th wedding anniversary "together", that was the plan. Well, we did not make it that far, at least, not here on earth, but will celebrate some day with Tom, in heaven. We all grew up "together" and had our sons "together", along with our sister, Karen Rodney Folkemer , and her daughter, our niece Amber. Over the years, we have accumulated so many fond memories that we can not count. Our lives were so touched, with an Angel now in heaven. Tom will be sorely missed. 😭 Right now it's so fresh, and it hurts a lot to think he is gone from us. 😥 Our family is broken-hearted 💔 at this time. In Jesus name we pray. Please keep us in your prayers. 🙏
