Thomas Jerome Schwietz

Schwietz, Thomas (Tom)

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Tom on Sunday, April 12, 2026. His beautiful and tired heart could no longer last. Tom is proceeded in death by his parents, Francis (Chummy) and Alice, siblings Kevin, Lisa, baby Catherine and many relatives and friends. He fought the good fight with his health over the years and left knowing how loved he was.

He is survived by his devoted wife and best friend, Jeanne; siblings Maria, Frank (Carol), Peg (Joe) Younghans, Ronnie, Steve (Bonita), Allan (Wendy) Cathy (Matt) Pilla; sister in-laws, Deanna (Ron) Buzicky, Laurel (Steve) Cox, many beloved nieces and nephews, and too many relatives and dear friends to name but know that he loved you all.

Tom grew up on the East Side where the family called home for many years. He wore many hats throughout his life and his generosity knew no bounds. As a husband and brother his love was profound. As an uncle Tom's unwavering support and dedication were a guiding light. As a friend, he had a tremendous passion for helping and was admired and respected by those who came in contact with him. He touched the lives of so many with his sense of humor, stories, and gregarious nature and he leaves us with a huge hole in our hearts.

Tom's visitation for all will be on Sunday, May 3, 2026 from 2-4 at Bradshaw in Stillwater. There will be a Mass at St. Casimir's Church on Monday, May 4 at 11:00 a.m. with visitation beginning at 9:30 at the church.

Jeanne and the family deeply appreciate your support during this time and in lieu of flowers, please feel free to donate to Dunrovin Retreat Center. A place Tom cherished and where he made such an important impact on so many young lives over the years.
