Obituary of Thomas Dean Loucks

Thomas Dean Loucks, age 48, of Plainfield, passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 4, 2018 at Joliet Area Community Hospice with his loving family by his side.  His positive attitude was an inspiration to his family to the very end.

Tom will be remembered for always being there for anyone who needed him.  He paid attention to the little things in life, and was a loving and caring husband, father, son, brother and uncle.  He was an avid Cubs fan and loved all kinds of music.  His dedication to his family, friends and neighbors will never be forgotten.
