Thomas H. Pendleton Jr. passed away unexpectedly on August 27, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, generosity, and quiet wisdom.

Tom had a rare ability to make people feel seen and valued. His presence could light up a room, his conversations brought both laughter and insight, and his quiet acts of care spoke louder than words. He lived simply but gave deeply—offering time, warmth, and help without ever seeking recognition. He found joy in life's simple pleasures—good films, time outdoors, and meaningful connections—and shared that joy freely with those around him.

Tom is survived by his loving sisters, Susan Key (Carl) and Dianne "Penny" Haun (Chris); seven nieces and nephews—Shannon, Stephanie, Sara, Karen, Joseph, Catherine, and Michelle; and twelve great-nieces and nephews.

He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

In honor of Tom, a gathering will be held on Friday, October 10, at 11:00 AM at Moose Lodge, 8045 Miller Rd., Valrico, Florida 33594.
