It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tom Jean, who left this world on March 23, 2025, at Lahey Hospital, surrounded by the love of his two sons, Jeremy and TJ. Tom was a man who left a lasting impact on everyone he encountered. Known for his charismatic personality, work ethic, and sense of humor, he was the kind of person who could light up a room with his presence and make everyone feel at ease. His family, friends, and community are all deeply mourning his loss, and the world seems a little quieter without him in it.
Born and raised in Burlington, MA, Tom was a beloved son to Joe and Joanne, and they are now left with the unthinkable task of navigating life without their cherished son. The pain of losing him has been overwhelming, not only for his parents but for all who knew and loved him. Tom’s ability to connect with others, his compassion, and his unwavering loyalty are traits that will never be forgotten. He was always there for his family, his friends, and his community, providing support, laughter, and a listening ear when it was needed the most.
Tom’s passing has left a huge void in the hearts of those who were close to him. His two sons, Jeremy and TJ, who were his pride and joy, are grappling with the immense grief of losing their father. Tom’s love for his children was boundless, and he worked tirelessly to provide for them and create lasting memories. He was more than just a father; he was a mentor, a friend, and a role model. Tom’s influence in their lives will continue to shape them as they move forward without his physical presence, but they will always carry the lessons, love, and laughter he gave them.
His loss is also being felt by the many friends who were fortunate enough to know him. Tom had a unique way of making people feel comfortable around him, and his infectious laughter and quick wit made him someone everyone wanted to be around. He had an incredible sense of humor and could always be counted on to crack a joke or lighten the mood in even the most challenging of situations. Whether it was at a family gathering, a work event, or a simple day out, Tom had a way of making everyone feel included and valued. His presence was one of warmth and generosity, and his legacy will live on in the memories of all who knew him.
Tom was known for his hard work and determination. Whether it was in his career or his personal life, he always gave his best effort. He believed in the value of hard work and was never afraid to put in the time and energy needed to achieve his goals. Tom’s commitment to his work and his family showed in everything he did. He approached each task with dedication and passion, and his tireless work ethic was something that inspired everyone around him.
Throughout his life, Tom demonstrated a deep sense of loyalty to those he loved. He was the kind of person who would drop everything to help a friend in need, and he never hesitated to lend a hand when someone was struggling. His kindness knew no bounds, and he always put the needs of others ahead of his own. His family and friends remember him for his selflessness and his ability to always make time for the people who mattered most to him.
Tom’s passing has left a huge hole in the hearts of his loved ones, but his memory will continue to live on.
