Thomas Allen Wismer, 54, of Benton Harbor, died suddenly after a long illness, Sunday, March 8, 2026.
His life began September 29,1971 in Buchanan, Michigan, the youngest of two children born to Larry and Sharon Wismer.
Tom spent time in the Navy repairing hydraulic systems in helicopters (HC-16; Pensacola, FL) before returning to civilian life. His love of fixing things led to a career as an auto mechanic. Health problems lead to an early retirement where he rooted from the Lions and Tigers and took care of feeding the neighborhood stray cats.
Thomas will be greatly missed by family and friends. He is survived by one son, Derek Wismer, one sister,Tina (Tim Williams) Wismer, and a host of cousins.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
The family will observe a private remembrance.
