CONDOLENCES TO THE NARAGON FAMILY
Thomas Naragon Obituary
Tom was preceded in death by his parents Dwight and Dorothy, daughter Janice, siblings Jim, Barbara Cole, and Hal. He is survived by his loving wife of 70 years Barbara; loving children Scott (Kathy), Judi (John) Timberlake, Michael (Susie), Jeffrey (Sandy), Susan (Ron) Everson, David (Ryung), special niece Adrianne Greer, and grandchildren Ethan, Christie (Billy) Barnett, Jon Timberlake, Alex, Rae, Ben (Mykaela), Autumn, Stacie (Matt) Mook, Brian Everson and Brenden Everson; 12 great grandchildren, 2 great-great granddaughters, and many nieces and nephews.
Tom was a kind, gentle man, and the strength of his family. He, along with his high school sweetheart, raised a loving and generous family. His moral character and the way he lived his life served as a daily example of a happy, fruitful life. He instilled his work ethic in his children when they helped him in his cleaning business. Tom retired from B & W and thereafter had more time to enjoy his love of baseball and golf. He and his lovely wife traveled for many wonderful years in their camper and had terrific adventures including a long trip to Alaska with their good friends. Tom will be forever loved and missed by his family.
The family will receive friends on Tuesday, May 21, from 5-7 pm at the Anthony Funeral Home Kucko-Anthony-Kertesz Chapel, 1990 S. Main St. in Akron.
