Tommy Doone

Thomas “Tommy” Joseph Doone, age 64, passed away peacefully in his sleep at home, on June 28th, 2024. He was born on November 7th, 1959, in Columbus, Ohio, to James and Kathleen Doone. He is preceded in death by his father, James Leo Doone and his mother-in-law, Geri Bernhard. He is survived by his mother, Kathleen Doone, his father-in-law, Bob Bernhard, his wife of 42 years, Teresa, his children: Michael (Jordyn), Annie (Case), Andrew, Jenny Brady (Ryan), seven grandchildren: Emma, Payten, Kellen, Leo, Nora, Sutton and Finn. His siblings, Tim Doone (Colleen), Pat Doone (Betsy), Rose Lyons (Jeff), Susie Schneider (Bob), Mary Camargo (Paul), his brother and sister-in-laws: Mikey Bernhard (Lynn), Gina Turner (Daven), Chrissy Rose (Chris), Todd Bernhard (Stephanie) and countless aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends, including lifelong family/friends Shawn Doone, Mikey Bernhard, Bob Schneider, Chuck Hayes, Jim Siebold and Theresa Donohoe. All of whom are truly devastated and heartbroken by his passing.

Tommy lived for his family. He truly was the best son, brother, husband, father and grandfather. He had the most special bond with each and every one of his grandchildren, as they were so blessed to have him in their lives. He enjoyed fishing, especially with his friend, Jim Siebold. He loved gardening and always grew the best tomatoes and peppers, and loved being able to send them to his nieces and nephews in Florida and Colorado. Tommy was a lifelong member of St. James the Less Church, where he spent countless hours volunteering wherever needed. During that time, Tommy was blessed to have made countless lifelong friends. We wish we could name them all, but there are truly too many to count. The family hopes they all know the impact they had, and how much Tommy and his family love them.
