Thomas Michael Mogensen passed away July 3, 2020 just 5 days from his 26th birthday. Thomas was the kindest person you would ever meet and truly had a heart of gold. He loved his family so much and was especially devoted to his mother, sisters, and grandparents. A recent graduate of LSU in Finance, Thomas was smart, loving, and funny. He put a smile on everyone’s face that he met, often cracking jokes just to make others feel happy and at ease. He was truly an old soul and particularly loved listening to 70’s and 80’s music; Jim Croce was one of his favorite artists. An avid sports fan, Thomas enjoyed playing basketball or tossing the football with friends. He was happiest talking sports with his longtime girlfriend and soon-to-be fiancé Kate Adams. They spent many weekends watching the Philadelphia Eagles, the Pittsburg Penguins, and LSU Football. Thomas loved animals and he and Kate shared 3 cats-Nina, Nero, and Sneakers.
He is survived by his parents, Mike Mogensen and Vickye Vasser; his mentor and role model, Jim Hagedorn; sisters, Kelly Hayden (Ben) and Krystal Kuretich; grandparents, Sherry Vasser, Tom, and Marilyn Mogensen; and the love of his life, Kate Adams.
He is preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Claude D. Vasser.
