In Memory of Tom: Aid for His Family

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Thomas Stewart Schlafly, a cherished husband, father, son, brother, and friend. Tom passed away on February 19, 2025, at the age of 42, surrounded by his loved ones after a sudden cardiac event.

Tom's life was a testament to love, dedication, and quiet wisdom. Raised in St. Louis, Missouri, as the eldest of seven children to Dr. Bruce and Jeanne Schlafly, he pursued passions like competitive roller hockey and self-publishing a weekly hockey magazine. In 2012, he met his soulmate, Ashley, during a board game night in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Their bond, built on shared interests and deep conversations, led them to marry and settle in Houston in 2013, where Tom embarked on a nearly decade-long career in finance.

Tom's greatest joy was his family. He shared his love of chess and music with his son, Finnegan, and spent countless hours drawing and playing games with his daughter, Eliana. His written words, filled with keen insight and deep empathy, remain a treasured legacy for his family.

Many have reached out asking how they can support Ashley, Finnegan, and Eliana during this difficult time.In response, we are providing this opportunity for those who wish to contribute toward their immediate needs.Your kindness and generosity will allow them the flexibility to use these funds in the way that best supports them as they navigate this heartbreaking loss.

Your generous contributions will honor Tom's memory and provide much-needed support to his beloved family. We also welcome your thoughts, prayers, and any memories of Tom you'd like to share.

Thank you for your love, support, and compassion.
