It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Thomas Lee Harper, who left us on April 27, 2025, at the age of 71. Born on January 6, 1954, in Indianapolis, Indiana to the late Thomas A. Harper and Betty J. (McAtee) Harper, Thom was a cherished father, grandfather, brother, and friend.
Thom is survived by his loving children, Daniel C. Harper (Beth) of Northwood, Ohio and Chelsie E. Harper (Justin) of Bowling Green, Ohio. He was a proud grandfather to Lydia, Wyatt, Zayden, and Brody. He is also survived by his brother Charles A. Harper (Carol) of Bowling Green, Ohio. He was preceded in death by his brothers Dennis E. Harper (Cara) and Jan R. Harper (Kelly).
Thom had a long and distinguished career in the roofing industry, beginning in 1978. He served as a Project Manager and Senior Estimator at The Fred Christen and Sons Company since January 2, 1991. His dedication and expertise were highly regarded by colleagues and clients alike.
Outside of his professional life, Thom was an avid golfer who found joy on the greens. He also loved to garden, nurturing plants and flowers with the same care he showed to those around him. A proud Ohio State Football fan, Thom never missed a game and cheered passionately for his team.
