Thomas Michael Rose
<p>Rose, Thomas Michael passed away at VCU Medical Center on Saturday, February 25, 2023. He was born in Arlington, Va., on February 21, 1947, and grew up in Dayton, Ohio. Following graduation from the University of Dayton, he came to Richmond for employment at First and Merchants National Bank. He received an M.B.A. at Virginia Commonwealth University.

Rose; brother, Joseph Rose; sister, Susan and his in-laws, Iva and Douglas Brannan. He is survived by his wife, Mary Ellen Brannan Rose; sister, Bonnie George (Fred); brothers, Charles Rose (Jenny) and John Rose, all of Dayton, Ohio; as well as brother-in-law, Dr. Melvin Brannan (Jeanette) of Powhatan. The family would like to thank the VCU Home Hospice team for their dedicated and steadfast support during his last days especially Susan, Latoya and Paul. Services were private.
