Thomas Schwarz

Friends, Veterans, Marines, and anyone who still believes in the goodness we can bring to this world. We lost a man who deserves to be remembered. Not just a good man, but a great one. A man who stood by his family, kept every vow he made and brought strength, kindness, and integrity into the lives around him. Tom Schwarz, age 75, of Richmond, TX, died on November 13, 2025. He was born in Camden, NJ to parents, Grey and Marie Schwarz. Brothers: Kenneth, Robert and James. Upon finishing high school in 1968, he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. He served his country. He raised his children with love and purpose. And he gave, quietly and consistently, to anyone who needed a hand. Tom majored in Architectural Engineering at Memphis State University and relocated his family to Texas in 1980.

He is survived by his “lady” of 55 years, Jan. Daughters: Shannon Marie, Susan Ashley and son, Michael Thomas and “adopted” daughter, Brenda Kay. Sons-in-laws: Dale Kenyon, James Culp and Troy Mashue. Grandchildren: Cavitt, Clayton, Christian, Chloe, Trent and Kaylynn.
