Thomas E. Merchant, 63, passed away unexpectedly on June 17th, 2023. Tom was born on February 23, 19630 in Hancock, Maine to Thomas and Marlene Merchant.
Tom wanted to be remembered for his love of music and motorcycles. His love for motorcycles and travel lead to multiple trips across the country and he often rode his motorcycle to an unplanned location and challenged himself to get back without a map or navigation system. His love for adventure and nature took him through many state parks, hiking trails, and forests throughout New England, leaving intricate rock sculptures in his wake. Anyone who was lucky to have a conversation with Tom would leave having gained new knowledge about history, art, books, nature, or something so random you would later ask yourself, “how did he know that?”.
Tom will be remembered by his siblings as being the strong-willed, supportive, and loving oldest brother. He will be remembered by his nieces and nephews for being the fun and spontaneous uncle and for his unique and eclectic antiques/knick-knacks that quickly earned him the title of “greatest gift giver” at every single Christmas Eve Yankee Swap. Most importantly, Tom will forever be remembered for his incredible free spirit and his contagious love for life.
Tom is survived by his siblings, Robert and wife, Jennifer, Burton and wife, Alex, John and wife, Karen, Donna Theriault and husband, Mike; and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents.
A celebration of his life to be announced at a later date.
