Thomas Michael Welch

April 10, 1943 ~ February 8, 2019

Loving, caring person, a giving husband, father, grandfather, and brother.

Survived by his wife of 35 years, Julie; Children: Kathy (husband Rob), Karen (husband Mike), Sean, Jessica (husband Brett), Steven, and Meagan (husband Jordan). Grandchildren: Mac, Connor, Emma, Hendrix, Genna, Zach, Jagger, and Kasun. Brothers: Ted (partner Manny), twin brother Dick (departed wife Judy), other nieces, nephews, cousins and his dog Charlie.

The family wishes to extend their sincere thanks and appreciation to the staff of VNA Texas Hospice, Ann’s Haven, Denton, Texas and CareStaf for the care given to Tom. His wishes were always to be at home and they provided care in a dignified manner in his time of need.

Tom graduated from Jesuit High School in Dallas, Texas and attended North Texas University in Denton, Texas where he was a member of Theta Chi Fraternity.

Tom was a successful entrepreneur which involved the startup and management of several companies including a residential mortgage and real estate brokerage company, a payroll company and an international consulting company.

Tom enjoyed life. Loved his family, family came first. The man always provided the home with unconditional love and care.

Tom can be remembered for his love to cook, sailing, family time at the beach, Friday night dance nights in the kitchen, dancing at birthdays, wedding celebrations or whenever the mood struck, conversations and enjoyment with friends, his backyard, and of course a Styrofoam cup.

Tom recently said he has no regrets, he’s had a great life. Wouldn’t do anything different because he wouldn’t have had the adventures he’s had and enjoyed in life.

He wanted a celebration of his life, so that’s what we do today. Remember his love, his wit, his enduring love for his family and friends.
