Mr. Thomas York

November 21, 1954 - January 3, 2022

Thomas Ray York of Roswell, GA passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by family on January 3rd 2022 at the age of 67. He is survived by his loving wife of 43 years, Gail York; his two adult children, Collin York and Lindsey York Gearhart; and his granddaughter, Elise Marshall. Tom was born and raised in Little Rock, Arkansas where he met and married his high school sweetheart and started a family. He began his professional career as a furrier for over 15 years before relocating to the Atlanta area and becoming a successful commercial real estate agent. Tom was a quintessential outdoors man, always taking his family camping, hiking, and boating. Tom was also an avid bass fisherman. Evidence of his greatest catches are mounted proudly in the family room next to all the antiques. Tom was able to take his dream fishing trip with his lifelong buddies to the Amazon in search of the prized peacock bass (which he found!). Tom’s greatest joy in life was spending time with his family. Sunday night dinners were a regular tradition (absolutely no casseroles allowed!). Tom leaves behind his legacy of wisdom, strength, humor, and above all his incredible love. A celebration of his life will be held Wednesday, January 12th 2022 at 11:00am in the funeral home chapel. Reception to immediately follow at Northside Chapel.
