Thomas Alexander Sharp

Tom was born in San Diego California, to Helen and Kenneth Sharp and was preceded in death

by his father Kenneth. Tom was their second child and was born three years after his sister

Janice. He lived in Clairemont and was part of a supportive, caring community. Tom played the

role of Mr. Fix it for his neighbors and they looked out for him as well. He went to all local

schools and after a tour of duty in the Navy reserve; where he met some of his lifelong friends,

attended San Diego Mesa College. He was a gifted woodworker. He knew every type of wood,

got to create with much of it and leaves a legacy of craftsmanship all over San Diego and in

Colorado where his niece Jill Comer lives with her husband, Don and their four children. Tom

was engaged to be married to the love of his life, Joyce Lee. He was an active member of

Clairemont Emanuel Baptist Church and had a great love for his church family. Tom worked at

Santa Fe Christian Schools where he was loved by many. He was absolutely overwhelmed by

the generosity that is SFC after having shoulder surgery in March, as meals were brought home

by his neighbor, friend and boss, several times a week for six weeks from the caring Santa Fe

“family.” He was very personable and always had a joke or pun to brighten someone’s day.

Services will be held on Monday, June 18th at 2:00 pm at Clairemont Emanuel Baptist Church.
