Thomas W. Edmondson
1952 ~ 2019
Thomas
Walter Edmondson, 66, of Northport, passed away on Friday May 17, 2019 at his
home surrounded by his loving family and friends.
Thom
was born on August 16, 1952 in Detroit, the son of Bland and Peggy (McMaster)
Edmondson. On Nov. 10, 2004 in Holly, he
married Cynthia Bryant, who survives.
A native of
the Motor City, Thom made his living as a freelance automotive writer. His deep love of nature was rooted in years
of keen observation of the flora, fauna, waters and weather of Northern
Michigan. He particularly loved
songbirds and trout, preferably appreciated while fly fishing at the family cabin
on the Thunder Bay River. The last nine
years of his life were some of his happiest times, which he and his wife Cindy
spent refinishing their house in Northport and enjoying life on the Leelanau Peninsula.
In
addition to his wife, Thom is survived by his sons, Andrew (Lillyanne) and
Derek (Brenn); stepchildren, Robert Guerrini (Lisa), and Victoria (Danny)
Power; grandchildren, Evelyn, Alexander, Stella, and Lochlan Thomas; and his siblings,
Bob (Carmen), Jean, and Meg (Rick) Stouffer.
He
was preceded in death by Andrew and Derek’s mother, Delores Tiseo.
Per
Thom’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a celebration of Thom’s
life will be held at 12 noon on Saturday, June 1, 2019 at Peterson Park Pavilion in
Northport.
Memorials may be directed to Leelanau County Cancer Foundation, P.O.
Box 235, Lake Leelanau, MI 49653 and/or Hospice of Michigan, 10850 E. Traverse
Highway #115 Traverse City, MI 49684.
