Thomas James Zinkham, Tommy, 60, of Harmony, was called home unexpectedly Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2025. He passed away peacefully surrounded by his family.

Tommy is survived by his brother, Tim, and his sister-in-law, Chrystal, whom he affectionately called Fuzzy. He was the beloved son of Tom and Theresa Zinkham. Tommy was born Jan. 13, 1965. He graduated from Clarence Brown School in Butler. He was the best son, brother and brother-in-law you could ask for.

Tommy was a shining light in the lives of all who knew him. Tommy had a gift for bringing joy into your life. He had an infectious smile that could light up a room. He gave the absolute best hugs. He could change your mood instantly when he smiled at you.

Tommy was strong in his Catholic faith. Tommy found joy in a family picnic, he loved going to Penn State football games, he also loved his country, hot dogs, fire trucks, WWE wrestling and socks. He loved celebrating your birthday with you, always making sure you had birthday balloons and cake. He was especially fond of his two best furry friends, Charlie and Cooper. Tommy loved taking care of his dogs. Tommy was an active participant in Special Olympics bowling, TRY Camp and day programs at CCC.

His passing has left a huge void in our hearts, we ask that you all remember him for the way he lived his life. He found joy and happiness in every moment. He always looked for the good. He spread love and kindness to everyone he met. He made the world a better place. He would want you to be kind and smile.
