Thomas "Tom" E. King

Thomas “Tom” Edward King, age 64, of Oshkosh, WI, passed away after a short illness on October 24th, 2026, in Watertown, WI.

Tom was born on June 14th, 1962, in Chicago, IL, son of Thomas Roy King and Alvane (nee Redeagle) King. He graduated from Nekoosa High School in 1980. In his life Tom held many jobs, including working for Rainbow Casino, now Ho-Chunk Gaming Nekoosa, being a bouncer at local bars, and as a cab driver for River Cab in Wisconsin Rapids.

Tom had a passion for video games, always keeping up with new releases for some of his favorite series including Resident Evil and Assassin's Creed. He also enjoyed watching movies. When he could, he loved going to the local movie theater to watch the newest releases, even ones that his daughter would take him to, such as Twilight and The Hunger Games. Some of his favorite movies included anything staring Bruce Lee, Smoke Signals, and Powwow Highway. Tom will always be remembered for his height of 6’4, stern face, and stubbornness, but beyond that, he was one of the kindest and most compassionate people you could meet, always willing to help when he could.

Thomas is survived by his daughter, Anastacia whom he called Bug; his son-in-law, Cameron, whom he called Sonny Boy; his ex-wife, Christina; his brothers, Tarren (Emmy) King; Leonard Friday; and his sister, Violet (Greg) Friday Gardiner; Tammy Bable; Tonya Palmar. As well as many nieces and nephews.
