It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Thomas Henry Meade, who left this world on October 31, 2025, at the age of 72, after a courageous battle with cancer. Born on April 20, 1953, in Lawton, Oklahoma, Tom was the cherished son of Margaret and Ray Meade. He spent his formative years in Lawton, Olahoma and Mesa, Arizona, where is developed a deep love for family and community that would define his life.
Tom was a beacon of kindness and compassion, known for his unwavering support and dedication to his loved ones. He built a beautiful life with his beloved wife Joni Meade whom he married 43 years ago. Their love story was one for the ages, filled with laughter and a profound understanding of one another that few attain.
Tom leaves behind two daughters, Melissa (Dustin), and Sandy (Jon), as well as ten beautiful grandchildren: Tyson, Gregory, Lillian, Henry, Ashton, Kendal, Kendra, Daniel, Isaiah, Jordan, and Jayda. His legacy will undoubtedly live on through their lives.
As we bid farewell to Thomas Henry Meade, we celebrate a life beautifully lived. His spirit will forever remain in the hearts of his family and friends, and his legacy will continue to inspire all who knew him. Rets in peace, Tom. You will be missed more than words can express.
