Thomas Walter Valentine “Tom” age 54, passed away on 9/12/2026. He was a wonderful son, brother in law ,uncle , nephew and cousin, who was deeply loved by his family. He spent 30 years driving a tractor-trailer. A career that took him countless miles down the road and became a big part of his life.
When he wasn’t on the road, he was a devoted Cardinals fan and rarely missed a chance to cheer on his team. He enjoyed the simple things, followed baseball faithfully, and was uniquely himself in a way those closest to him will always remember.
He is survived by his parents, Maureen and Leonard Valentine, his sister Molly Valentine Maher, his brother in law Jeff Maher and his nieces Meredith, Allison and Caroline, and other extended family members. He will be greatly missed by his family and those who knew him.
