Our beloved father, son, brother, and friend passed away on April 23rd, 2025. He is preceded in death by his wife, Kelly Jean Vera, and mother, Alifa Mary Vera.

He is survived by his daughter, Presley (Armando) Rincon, and son, Manuel (Janeth) Vera; grandsons, Mateo and Lorenzo; father, Tomas Leocadio Vera; siblings, Alifa (Marko), Donna (Bob), Donnie, Andy (Darlene), Randy (Angie); and many dear nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Tom, as most knew him, had a passion and talent for many sports throughout his life, but football always remained at his core. He set multiple records during his childhood and, later in his adult life, devoted much of his time coaching youth football. He was also quite the artist. Whether with a pencil or brush, he could create magic on any canvas, and the pieces of art he left behind are both beautiful and breathtaking.

We will miss your warm smile and loving spirit, which touched the hearts of all who knew you.
