Thomas J. Lewarchik, 65, of Beaver passed away on September 1, 2024.

He was born in Monaca on June 3, 1959, a son of the late Irvin “Oss” and Evelyn D. Alexander Lewarchik. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his infant nephew Rohn Edward and beloved dogs Beach and Ginger. He is survived by his son, Jesse (Amanda), granddaughter Zoe, brothers Robert (Nita) and Edward, nephews Christopher, Benjamin and George; nieces Rae, Pamela and Catherine, great nephews David, Daniel and Austin; great nieces Alyssa, Kaylee and Hadley and devoted friend Robby.

Thomas moved to Melbourne, Florida shortly after graduating high school. He pursued a career in carpentry, eventually co-owning Dubloon Builders, formerly of Melbourne. During that time, Tom gave many friends and family members opportunities at working at the family business.

Soon after moving to the beach, he fell in love with surfing. It was during a trip to catch some waves when he found a hungry, stray dog looking for food. Tom took him in and named him Beach, and the dog became a loyal companion for 15 years.

When Tom’s health began to decline, he became a resident of Friendship Ridge where he fought tirelessly for the rights of patients. He made many friends there and everywhere he lived.

Tom genuinely cared about the Lord, his family and friends.

Friends will be received on Saturday, September 7 from 1 p.m. until the time of a blessing service at 3 p.m. at SIMPSON FUNERAL & CREMATION SERVICES, 1119 Washington Avenue, Monaca.

Memorial contributions may be made in Tom’s memory to the Beaver County Humane Society.
