New Durham, NH

Thomas Krawczyk, aka "Tommy K" 36, of New Durham, NH passed away unexpectedly on February 18th as the result of a long battle with sleep apnea and heart disease. He was born to Ronald and Monique Krawczyk of Farmington, NH on November 4th, 1981. Tommy graduated from Farmington High School and attended the University of New Hampshire. For the past 15 years he worked at the Rochester, NH Home Depot, where he became everyone's favorite associate. In fact, many people found themselves visiting the store just to see Tommy.

Tommy had the ultimate zest for life. He knew the importance of being present in the moment and experiencing everything around him. He truly believed his purpose in life was to make a difference and make others feel special. He was the guy you could count on. He was the guy that took advantage of every opportunity to pay it forward and help others. He was wise beyond his years; extremely bright and articulate, and capable of sharing his insights, lessons learned and messages of positivity in a soft and reassuring way. He had an infectious and dimple-filled smile that lit up a room. His stunning crystal-blue eyes were warm and inviting and made you feel like you were able to see the depths of his soul. It was easy to trust Tommy K, and if you met him for the first time, it felt like you had known him your whole life. He was the founding member of the Courier Cup 5-time Wiffleball Championship team, the KrawSox. When some people were questioning whether to run to home base, Tommy was stealing it with head-first dives. That's just who he was - a dirt in the face, give it everything you've got and find more when you think there's nothing left, kind of guy. Tommy didn't require much in life other than true and deep love and unconditional and loyal friendship. He gave every ounce of his being to those around him, and in return, he was adored and loved. His heart was so big in fact, that many could argue it just simply wore out because he had nothing left to give. He truly lived more life and inspired more people in 36 years than those granted twice as much time on this Earth.

Thomas is survived by his siblings, Jenn and Brian Haskell, Patrick Krawczyk and his fiancé Amy Smart, Ron and Val Krawczyk Jr., and Kari-Sue and Rob Marcos. He leaves behind the love of his life, Jackie Orosz and her sons, Joey and Jake, as well as their dog Sadie. Tommy was happy in his role as a family man and was affectionately referred to as Tommy-Daddy. He always found time to make homemade slime, race matchbox cars, play Xbox or teach sports to his boys. He was also the devoted and ever-present uncle to Rory and Finnegan. He also leaves behind his aunts and uncles; George and Kathleen Rogers, Charles and Marge Rogers, John and Elizabeth Rogers and John and Deborah Guthrie, as well as many cousins. Finally, he leaves behind his KrawSox family and fellow champions, Alan Doucet, Donny Joy, Jon Hamel, Mark VanDenBurg and Nick Hanrehan, as well as his best friends, Steve and Kate Cameron, Patrick and LacyJane Cremmen, Melissa and Tate Lefebvre, Demetrios and Cara Tsiros, Jon and Monica Rogers, Jimmy Cardinal, William Larson, Letitia Knight, Audrey Gates, Tiffany Mai, Jessica Michaud, and Jill Penteledes. He was pre-deceased by his beloved parents, Ronald and Monique Krawczyk.
