Thomas William James “TJ” Spehnkouch passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday, November 27, 2024.

He is survived by his best friend and wife of 46 years, Juanita, their sons Scott and Patrick, Scott’s wife Judy and their children Jace and Maya, and Patrick’s partner Lisa.

He had many adventures with his family all over the world, and loved scuba diving and sitting on the beach. He loved his family deeply and they adored him. He was a man of typically few, but occasionally many words, all of them kind and sincere.

He never shied away from expressing his feelings and raised his sons in the same manner. His superpower was making those around him feel loved, particularly the love of his life, Juanita, and their sons, Scott, and Patrick.

He was a tall man, with an even larger presence. That presence was always jovial and uniquely comforting and will never fade. We love him and will always love him. He’s not gone, he’s just got a head start on a quiet stroll down the beach. Thankfully, he’s slow, so we’ll catch up.
