Thomas Ray Feller

Thomas R. Feller was born in North Canton, Ohio on December 12, 1953, to the late Marlon and Betty (Humbert) Feller.

He was a 1972 graduate of Hoover High School and proudly served in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam Conflict.

In 1974, Tom married his devoted wife Susan Aebi Feller, and together they built a beautiful life filled with love, laughter, and adventure. Tom was the proud father of three sons and blessed with 5 grandkids. Sons, Christian (wife Nicole) and grandchildren Elise and Olivia, son Donald (wife Amy) and grandchildren Michael, Annabelle and Bethany, and son Michael who passed in infancy.

Tom is survived by four brothers and their wives: Eugene and Elinor Feller, Cary and Jane Feller, Ron and Diane Feller, Robert Feller and his sister Bonnie Gutshall and fiancé Mark Budrow. Remembering Uncle Tom are 11 nieces and nephews and 10 great nieces and nephews.

Tom’s favorite past times were enjoying the outdoors, hunting, fishing, and passing these passions on to his two sons. Tom also enjoyed spending time with his brothers and friends taking hunting and fishing trips to Canada, as well as shooting trap and sporting clays in various local clubs and organizations. You could usually find Tom fishing in his boat on Walborn Reservoir in the early morning hours waiting for the “Big One” to strike.

Tom was a true warrior battling Parkinson’s Disease for 41 years. He was among the first 50 Parkinsons sufferers to have Deep Brain Stimulation at the Cleveland Clinic which allowed Tom the opportunity to enjoy life and his passions for many years. Tom never complained but rather reached out to touch the lives of many Parkinson’s patients with education, comfort, and support. Those who knew Tom will remember him for his love of family and friends, his kindness, his humility, and his love of nature.

Tom and his family would like to extend our deepest thanks to the Aultman Alliance Hospice Team for their invaluable help and support through the last several months.
