Thomas “Tom” Alan St. John, age 76, of Park Hills, Missouri, passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones on July 22, 2025. He was born January 21, 1949, in Allegan, Michigan, the son of the late Edwin and Cecelia (Bruner) St. John.

Tom graduated from Charlotte High School with the class of 1967. On April 3, 1970, Tom married Marlene (Kapenga) St. John at Charlotte Christian Reformed Church, spending 55 wonderful years together. Tom was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He loved spending time with his children and grandchildren. Although his work hours were long, he made it a priority to support his children and grandchildren in their multitude of events and activities. In his free time, he spent many enjoyable hours on home improvement projects, woodworking projects for his grandchildren, spending time outdoors and biking. Tom and Marlene enjoyed 13 years traveling the U.S. in their RV. He spent the past five years delivering Meals on Wheels in Farmington with his wife. Tom was a dedicated Detroit Tigers and later St. Louis Cardinals fan.

Tom is survived by his wife Marlene, his two sons, Timothy (Diane) St. John and Michael (Deb) St. John, and two grandchildren, Ryan (Rhianna) St. John and Allison (Logan Aubuchon) St. John. He is also survived by his sisters, Judy (Dick) Saurer of Salt Lake City, Utah, Deb (Ken) Mohre of Rochester, Michigan, and numerous nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, a brother Dick (Joy) St. John, brothers-in-law, Richard Logan and Larry (Sue) Kapenga, and nephews, Douglas Dipple and Chuck Christensen.

In keeping with Tom’s wishes, cremation has taken place, and a private graveside service will be held at a later date. Those desiring may make contributions in Tom’s memory to Parkland Health Services, Meals on Wheels in Farmington, or any charity of their choosing.
