Thomas John Ledenican

THOMAS JOHN LEDENICAN age 72, cherished father of Michelle (Shaun) and Clinton; former spouse of Robin; beloved son of the late Ervin and Ella (neé Papesh); loving brother of Patricia, and the late Joseph (Deb) and Raymond (Susan); dearest uncle of Christopher and Katie; best friend to Mike Jeavons and Michael Simens.

Tom was born on June 25, 1953, in East Cleveland, with the classic Ledenican smile he wore throughout his life and proudly passed on to his children. His charm and charismatic nature made him the first person you wanted to sit next to at the bar. Within seconds he would have you laughing and engaged in one of his many great stories or repeating his tagline, "Keep it cool in 1970". A true "Pool Shark", Tom enjoyed playing with friends, as well as hitting the slots at the casino, and trips to the tracks. Contentment was truly found listening to music, as the train cars passed by and his world stood still. You could have only been so lucky to have been in Tom's company, and so it is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce his passing on June 8, 2026. Tom was the coolest guy and will be missed by far too many. We take comfort in knowing he is reunited with his brothers. Though his loss leaves behind a void that can never be filled, let his memory and legacy bring you comfort on your hardest days.

Contributions may be made in his memory to The Lake Humane Society. He truly enjoyed dogs and their special bonds.

A Celebration of Life Service will be announced in the Fall of this year.
