Thomas returned home to his Father in heaven unexpectedly on Monday, June 13, 2022, due to a massive heart attack.

He was born to Thomas and Mary Griffin in Helena, Montana and later moved to Salt Lake City, Utah. He resided there throughout his childhood and adulthood. He worked as a fabricator for several years. During that time, he met the love of his life Angelia Fenner and they married in 1994, and later divorced in 2001, remaining the best of friends. He was blessed with two children and a stepson. They moved to Great Falls in 1993 to be closer to family.

Tom started working for Northwest Fence in 1993/94. He was dedicated to his job and took great pride in his work, right up to the day he was called home to the Lord. Tom enjoyed camping, fishing, building models, family gatherings, playing cards, and dominos, cookouts, and of course, coffee. He especially enjoyed his computer games.

He will be missed deeply from his loved ones. He was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas and Mary Griffin, as well as his sister, Joanne Shopteese. He is survived by his children, Charles Crane, Annelaura Fenner, and Devon Griffin; ex-wife, Angelia Fenner; brothers, Richard (Debbie) Griffin, William Griffin, and James Griffin; grandchildren, Jakob, Coraline, Aralynn, Eleanor, Tidus, John, Ryland, and Evan; and several nieces and nephews whom all treasured him so profoundly.
