Thomas William Pera

Thomas “Tom” William Pera- devoted Husband, Father of three, loyal Son and friend to many- passed away at UC Davis Medical Center on October 19, 2022, at the age of 46, due to complications from Leukemia. He was surrounded by his loving family who will continue to honor his legacy of positively impacting the lives of others.

Born on November 4, 1975 in South Lake Tahoe, Tom moved with his family to Carmichael in 1977 where he attended local schools and graduated from El Camino High School. He worked in Sales with Dreyer’s Ice Cream before moving to the agricultural industry as a Feed Commodity Merchandiser with Frontier Ag Company in Davis.

Tom passed away far too young, leaving the wife he adored, Robyn, his three exceptional children TJ, Isaac and Gabby, his devoted parents Tom and Linda Pera and his cat Miss Meow.

In his free time, Tom loved finding new destinations to explore, often planned day trips and spontaneous car rides. He also enjoyed building intricate model cars at the kitchen table, cooking for his family, fun dates with the love of his life, and spending time with his kids watching them grow into wonderful people. He had dreams of hiking to a waterfall with Robyn, taking each of his children to the casino for their 21st birthdays, and going on an Alaskan Cruise.

He encompassed gentleness, respect, amiability and always brought a sense of inclusion to everyone he met. Tom will be greatly missed by all who knew him including family, friends, co-workers, and business associates.
