April 28, 1971 – December 25, 2024
It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Thomas John Lobene (Tommy) on Christmas Day, December 25, 2024, at the age of 53. Born in Rochester, New York, Tommy was the beloved son of Thomas and Joyce (Nuccitelli) Lobene. He was a cherished spouse to Michael Young, brother to Jim (Jackie), Mary, and Michael (Jody), brother-in-law to Denise and Tom (Steven), his cherished dog, Winston, and a loving family member to a large circle of cousins and nephews and nieces, whose names are too many to list but whose love for him was immeasurable,
Tommy graduated from Spencerport High School in 1989, where he was voted “Most Likely to Throw a Party.” His energy, enthusiasm, and sense of fun defined him throughout his life. After high school, Tommy ventured west, enjoyed time in Colorado, before returning home to graduate from SUNY Brockport. But it was Colorado, the place he would ultimately call home, where Tommy’s true heart was captured by the natural beauty of the mountains.
In Denver, Tommy met the love of his life, Michael. Together they shared 23 years of love & adventure, in 2016, they celebrated their commitment to one another in marriage. In 2020, Tommy and Mike made the bold decision to move to Steamboat Springs, where they continued to enjoy life in the mountains with new and old friends.
Tommy’s heart was as big as the mountains he loved. A natural protector, Tommy was the kind of person who stood up for others, especially when they couldn’t stand up for themselves. He was deeply loyal, always there for his loved ones, no matter the circumstance.
Tommy was loved by so many, and he will be deeply missed. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice; or attend a concert and dance like no one is watching!
Rest in peace, Tommy. You will forever be loved & remain in our hearts.
