Thomas W Goede

Thomas W. Goede, 65, of Toledo, Ohio passed away January 18, 2022, at ProMedica Flower Hospital. He was born in Toledo, Ohio on July 10, 1956, to Frederick W. and Jeanette (Weber) Goede. Thomas graduated from Rossford High School, Class of ’74, and would go on to attend Owen’s Community College for a time. He would then find a career as an operating engineer, working diligently for over a decade and climbing the ladder until he was made an electrician. He was a hardworking man – some would describe work as his favorite hobby – and would lead a long and successful career, retiring after many decades in his field.

Thomas was a man comfortable in his own company and was unafraid to tell it to you straight. However, he loved his family and would always pick up the phone when it rang, ready to share his good advice or to simply lend an ear. He enjoyed spending time with his parents, the occasional fishing trip with his son, and spoiling his granddaughter.

Thomas is survived by his son, Brent (Sarah) Goede; beloved granddaughter, Devin Goede; brother, Jim (Gracie) Goede; and extended family members. He is preceded by his parents, Frederick and Jeanette Goede.

Friends and family will be received Saturday, August 13, 2022, from 11 AM – 1:00 PM at Sujkowski Walker Funeral Home, Rossford, Ohio (419-666-1566). Services will be private, and Thomas will be laid to rest at Fort Meigs Cemetery. Those wishing to donate in memory of Thomas may consider St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
