Thomas Hugh Zoerner

A local business owner for many years, Tom was a self-employed glazier, representing the family’s third generation working in the glass business until he retired in 2019. When not with his family, he spent much of his free time fishing and enjoying Michigan’s natural beauty.

Tom was preceded in death by his parents and his brothers, James and Roy. He is survived by his beloved wife of nearly forty years, Martha S. Zoerner; their four children, Candy (Michael) Lamb of Manteno, Illinois; John (Jean) Zoerner of Aurora, Illinois; Angela (Matthew) Putman of Reed City; and Jennifer (Eric) Price of Dorr; fifteen grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren; his sister, Janet; and seven nieces and nephews.

At Tom’s request, the family will honor his life privately, and no formal memorial services are planned at this time.

In lieu of flowers or memorial contributions, the family encourages acts of kindness in his memory. Throughout his life, Tom often provided his professional services at no cost to individuals and families facing difficult circumstances, choosing to help people directly whenever he could. The family hopes others will honor Tom’s legacy by using their own talents, skills, or time to assist someone in need.
