Thomas "Tom" E. Fleck, age 72, of Celina, Ohio, passed away on December 12, 2019 at 6:00 pm at Mercy Health St. Rita's Medical Center.
He was born on July 17, 1947 in Celina to the late Harold & Doris (Homan) Fleck. On July 6, 1991 he married Carol Fleck who survives at their residence in Celina.
Tom was a devoted and loving father to his four children, Craig Gariety of Celina, Amy (Jeremy) Brewster of Celina, Melissa (Scott) Shuster and Tammy Fleck. Surviving siblings include, Nancy (Don) Reed, Susan (Kale) Billings and Jerry (Pam) Fleck. Tom also leaves behind eleven grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
Tom was preceded in death by three infant siblings as well as brother, Danny Fleck and sister, Peggy Baucher.
Tom was a graduate of Celina High School and went on to serve his country in the Vietnam War; Tom was a recipient of the Purple Heart. He was a life member of the Celina VFW Post #5713 and the American Legion Post #210; a member of Celina Moose Lodge #1473, and the Celina Eagles Post #1291. Tom attended the Celina First Church of God.
Tom had many interests, which included spending time at local lodges, antique cars which included mostly hotrods, drag racing, metal works, trapping and hunting and most important to him was spending time with his family.
Tom loved to talk, he was very outgoing, didn't know a stranger and many said he was the biggest "bullshitter" they knew. Through his talking and conversations, he thought he knew it all, his daughter even calling him "Professor" as he was very particular and was a perfectionist.
Tom extended his caring heart and generous spirit and continues to touch lives as he choose to be an organ and tissue donor.
