Thomas Richard Boland, 63, went to be with his Lord and Savior at 4:17 p.m., on Saturday, March 9, 2019 after a sudden illness. He passed peacefully surrounded by his loving family. Tom was born in Tacoma, Washington on January 14, 1956 to his parents Larry and Mary Jo (Starkey) Boland.
Tom graduated from South Vigo High School, Class of 1974. He was a retired correctional officer for the U.S. Federal Penitentiary. He was currently working at Thompson's Honda and 7th & 70 Liquors.
Tom was united in marriage to Laurie (Stewart) Boland on Valentine's Day, 1987. They have two children, Micha Boland (Sara) of Bothell, WA and Kimberlee Boland of Chicago, IL.
Tom is preceded in death by his parents, brother Terry, grandparents, Ural & Ruth Starkey and John & Mary Francis Boland. Survivors include his wife and children, sister, Tammy Gundy (Pat), brother, Todd Boland (Tammy) and brother, John. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews, cousins and many close friends.
Tom was a kind and gentle man with a great sense of humor. A devoted Catholic, loyal and devoted husband, a loving father, big brother, uncle, cousin, friend and even a super hero to some. Tom enjoyed mushroom hunting, fishing, and being outdoors. He was a life time member of the Brothers of the Woods. He enjoyed weekend getaways, cruising in his 1951 Chevy pickup and motorcycle rides with his bride. Tom was very generous with his time. He was always helping someone, be it family, friends, friends of his children, a neighbor, a co-worker, even strangers; if someone asked for his help, he was always happy to pitch in. He loved life and he was a blessing to all who knew and loved him.
Tom's final act of kindness was to give the gift of life through tissue donation.
