Thomas Gerard Mccarthy

Thomas Gerard McCarthy, of Oconomowoc, WI passed away unexpectedly at his home on August 5, 2024, at the age of 61. Born in Milwaukee on April 15, 1963, Tom was a devoted son to Edgar Jr. and Rosemary (nee Frederick) McCarthy.

Graduating from Kettle Moraine High School in 1981, he embarked on a successful career, dedicating over 45 years of his life to Zilli's Hospitality Group, where he thrived as a Catering Director.

With his unwavering love for nature, Tom found solace in activities such as birdwatching, biking, and capturing the beauty of sunsets and wildlife through his camera lens. His green thumb was evident in the beautifully landscaped yard and gardens that he nurtured with care and dedication. Tom found joy in the simple pleasures of reading, solving puzzles and crosswords, and immersing himself in the tranquility of television. However, his greatest source of joy was undoubtedly the time spent with his family, creating countless cherished memories. Tom was a man of boundless warmth and generosity, known for his unwavering love for his wife Brenda, whom he shared countless road trips and cheese runs with. His dedication to his family was unwavering, evident in the close bond he shared with his children.

Tom is survived by his loving wife of 29  years Brenda (nee Eichstaedt); also by children Shane and Alyssa; his loyal companion Kodie; siblings Jeanne (Ken) Kassees, Andy (Kristy) and Kelcy (Scott) Boettcher; along with nieces, nephews and other loving family and friends.

Tom is preceded in death by his parents; and brothers Dan and Pat.
