Thomas Alan "Tom" Vangunten of Tennessee, TN, has passed away, leaving behind a family and community who loved him dearly.

These are the contours of a life that meant a great deal to many.

Thomas spent his working life as ['real estate and construction', 'a career in real estate and construction'] — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew him best.

What was given remains, even when the giver is gone.

Thomas Alan Vangunten, 67, son of Jackie and Leon Vangunten, born January 12, 1959 in Dayton, Ohio, died at home in Tennessee.

He is survived by his son, Henry Vangunten; his son and daughter-in-law, Robert and Grace Vangunten; his brother and sister-in-law, James and Kitty Vangunten; and his sister-in-law, Brigitte Vangunten.

He was predeceased by his wife, Laura Larsson Vangunten; his parents; his brother, Robert Vangunten; and his sister, Betty Muth.

Tom graduated from Stebbins High School, Dayton, Ohio, and attended the University of Tulsa. He

was retired from a career in real estate and construction, and was President of Floydtool.com.

Services are private.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Floyd County Humane Society, P. O. Box 862, Floyd, Va. 24091 or your favorite charity.
