Thomas M. DeChamps

October 4, 1947 — September 3, 2021

Thomas M. DeChamps, 73, Green Bay, died peacefully in the comfort of his home on September 3, 2021. Born on October 4, 1947, in Clintonville, he is the son of the late Marvin and Mildred (Greatens) DeChamps. He was a 1966 graduate of Preble High School. After graduating, he served in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves for 6 years. On October 26, 1968, he married the former Linda Ann Burt at St. Joseph’s Church in Green Bay and she preceded him in death on July 27, 2013. Tom worked for various local companies, retiring in 2013 from Paper Transport after faithfully serving there for 23 years. He will be remembered for the joy he found in cutting his lawn and sitting on his deck visiting with friends and family with a PBR in his hand. Tom also cherished the times spent putzing in “the shop” with his beloved wife, Linda, whom he missed greatly after she left us. Tom was a hardworking, quiet man his entire life, who provided for his family, which was the most important part of his life.
