Thomas Sklodoski

11/30/1957 - 5/31/2024


Thomas Sklodoski 66, born November 30, 1957 in Portsmouth, VA, peacefully passed away at home with Peg by his side on May 31, 2024.He was the beloved son of Terry and Joan Sklodoski. Tom graduated from Valley High School. He proudly served in the US Navy, then lent his skills to GE, bartending, and ultimately retiring from FedEx.

He leaves behind a legacy of love and commitment, survived by his lifelong partner of 30 years Peggy Renn,  daughters Debi Caldwell (Barry) and Sara Sklodoski. His memory will forever be cherished by his grandchildren Isaac Patterson, Essence Metrejon (Jacob), Hayleigh Martin (Jake), Lillian Ison, Santana Ison, and Samson Taylor-Mills. His joy knew no bounds with the arrival of his great granddaughters Joleighene Martin and Clementine Metrejon.

Tom dedicated countless hours volunteering in National Parks. His zest for life extended to pickle ball, LAC group, golf, and finding the best deals. This is where he found competition and camaraderie. But above all his greatest joy was found in the company of his family whom he cherished dearly.

Toms infectious personality warmed the hearts of all who knew him. Though he may have left this world, his spirit will remain in the memories and hearts of those who loved him.

His wishes were to be cremated with no services. Magnolia Cremation in Jeffersonville, IN has been entrusted with those wishes. Celebrate his life with sharing stories, pictures, food, and favorite lines he would always say to the world. In lieu of flowers, make a memorial contribution in his memory to your favorite park, charity, or the Glioblastoma Foundation.

Cremation was chosen and Magnolia Cremations of Jeffersonville, Indiana has been entrusted with the arrangements.

Tom will be missed by his friends at LAC. He was a great inspiration for living life to the fullest. I loved hearing stories about trips to National Parks and Workamping. So sorry for your family’s loss.
