OBITUARY FROM REES FUNERAL HOME WEBSITE:

Thomas N. King, “Tom”, age 63, a lifelong resident of Hobart, IN, passed away suddenly on Monday, August 8, 2022.

Tom was a Packers fan and NASCAR fan, with his basement filled to the brim with model cars and other NASCAR memorabilia.  He enjoyed fishing, hunting, and woodworking.  Tom loved reading Stephen King novels and listening to Pink Floyd.  He was a true “family first” kind of man and will be remembered as a loving husband, devoted father, beloved grandfather and great-grandfather who will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
