Yesterday, we said goodbye to a husband, a father, a grandpa, a great grandpa, and a friend. My dad, Thomas Allen Rothe, passed away around 2:40 pm yesterday, November 21st, 2025. The angels were ready to receive him home.

He was a funny, charismatic, heck of a storyteller, and one-of-a-kind human. Tom was always the life of the party. He always sang through whatever he was doing. He'd even sing about how he was making his sandwich.

Tom and his wife Carol spent 40 beautiful years together. They just made it to their 38th wedding anniversary this past Wednesday, November 19.

Tom and Carol are on a fixed income, and with the passing of my dad Tom, my stepmom Carol could really use your help. Please consider donating to help her pay for a memorial and help pay for bills. I don't want her to have to worry about where she is going to get money to afford things. I'd like her to be able to just take this time to grieve. Thank you - Mahalo
