Thomas James Wennergren

Tom was born in Salinas, California on March 11, 1961, and left us on July 6, 2024. He was raised in Soledad, California, and graduated from Gonzales High School in 1979. Post graduation, he fulfilled a mission for the LDS Church then earned an Associate of Arts degree (Magna Cum Laude) from Hartnell College in Salinas. Much of his work life was spent in retail sales with his focus on jewelry having earned the Gemology Institute of America’s Fine Jewelry Consultant certificate. An exception was a stint as an investigator for the Salt Lake Legal Defender Association which he enjoyed immensely.

He was a lifelong afficionado and scholar of all things Navy. He would have happily joined the Navy, but chronic migraines prevented that. He took pleasure in tennis, photography, Toastmasters and his involvement with the Logan chapter of Sea Scouts.

Survivors include two brothers and their spouses, John (Mindy) and Ken (Patty); his former sister-in-law, Terri; as well as nieces and nephews, Susan, Thomas, Jessica, Mathew, Josh, Mariah, Ben, Danny, Ryan, and their families. He was preceded in death by his parents, John A. and Ethel Mae; two brothers, Mike and Larry; and a nephew, Scott.

Tom’s family would like to extend a special thank you to those who supported and helped him including, Julie, his unequaled hospice nurse, the Intermountain Hospice Care Team, his life-long friend Monte Wilhelm, the Needham family, his neighbors and the friends and family who supported him during this very difficult time.

Per Tom’s request, there will be no formal services. Interment will take place on Wednesday, July 17, 2024, at 12 p.m. at the Logan City Cemetery family plot.
