Thomas “Tom” Lee Repichowski

Thomas "Tom" Lee Repichowski, 80, of East Jordan, Michigan, passed away peacefully on October 3, 2025.  A devoted husband, brother and friend, Tom will be remembered for his ambition, kindness and dedication to helping others.
Born on May 22, 1945, in Lansing, Michigan, Tom was the son of the late Stephen G. Repichowski and Doris Margaret (Platte) Repichowski.  He grew up in Holt, where he attended Holt High School.  During those years, Tom's natural leadership and charm shone brightly - he played football for four years and was honored as Homecoming King and class president.  After high school, Tom continued his education at Michigan State University, where he laid the foundation for a successful career and met lifelong friends.
Tom married the love of his life, Ruth Ann Peterson, with whom he shared many wonderful adventures and a bond that lasted throughout his life.  Together, they built a home filled with laughter, friendship and warmth.  Professionally, Tom worked as a Safety Engineer for Dow Chemical in Midland, Michigan, where his ambition and expertise earned the respect of colleagues and friends alike.  Upon retirement, Tom and Ruth settled on Lake Charlevoix, where he fully embraced northern Michigan life.
An active member of his community, Tom served as a web designer for Eveline Township and as president of his neighborhood association for many years.  Whether gardening, fishing, boating, or snowmobiling, Tom found joy in the great outdoors and in sharing his many talents with others.  True to his helpful nature, he was always the first to lend a hand to a neighbor or friend in need.
Tom is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Ruth Ann Repichowski; his brother, Steven (Diana) Repichowski; his sister, Kathy (Bill) Lasher; nephew, Steven (Marcy) Repichowski Jr.; nieces, Stephanie Ramos, Sandy (Dennis Boon) Stilwell and Anne (Mike) O'Dell and many other great nephews and great nieces.
