Thomas Wade Netherton, a cherished father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully at home on February 26, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. He was 86 years old.

Born on March 26, 1938, in Louisville, Kentucky, to Margaret Curry Netherton and Charles Richard Netherton, Tom spent much of his life raising his family in Crestwood, KY.

Over the years, Tom served in various roles, offering his guidance and support to the Cub Scout Pack, an experience that became a lasting part of his legacy.

For over three decades, Tom owned and operated his own printing company, a venture that he was proud to build from the ground up. After retiring, he moved to Southern Indiana, where he found a new passion as a writer and author. Tom published several books that reflected his creative spirit and love for storytelling.

Tom is survived by his children, Laura, Chuck, and David; his daughters-in-law, Lauri and Eve; his grandchildren, Alysha, Steven, Nick, Alexandra, and Payton; his great grandchildren, Rhonin, Ember, and Artemis; and countless family members and friends who will forever cherish his memory.
