Tom was born on May 24, 1960 to Ervin and Shirley (Brooks) Roeker in Mankato, Minnesota. He was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith. He graduated from East High School in 1979. Tom made the unfortunate mistake of getting married, thankfully it ended in divorce and 3 amazing daughters. He worked at Brown Printing/Quad Graphics for 25 years and then went to work at Berry Global for the last few years. Tom took a lot of pride in his job and worked a lot to provide for his kids. He loved to spend time with his family, especially his 2 grandchildren. In his free time he enjoyed fishing, cutting wood, being outside, driving the 4-wheeler, bobcat, golf cart, supporting his grandson playing t-ball, playing board games with his grandchildren and daughters, and overall helping others any way he could, and every chance he had.
He is survived by his daughters, Tracy Adler, Robyn (Tim) Shorter, and Grace (Jaime) Roeker; 2 grandchildren, Samuel and Matthew Adler; his dog Bella; his younger brother, Jerry (Diane) Roeker; nieces and nephew.
He was preceded in death by his parents; aunts and uncles; son-in-law, John Adler.
