Tom Westenhaver lived a small, quiet 67 years in Clay City, Indiana. He was known for his love of Coca-Cola, lawn care, and long conversations. He was a creature of habit, devoting 46 years of his life to Loggers Inc. a sawmill in Clay City that he began working at when he was just seventeen years old.

After retiring in 2021, he poured his time into a business of mowing lawns for the people of his town. Tom took pride in working hard for everything he earned, including his beloved house. He spent his free time tinkering in his garage, working on his trucks and lawn mowers, as well as visiting with his granddaughters.

Tom never met a stranger. He touched the hearts of anyone he came across, always ready to share a laugh, life lesson, or story. He faced every single obstacle in his life head-on and did not give up until his very last breath. He passed peacefully Monday, September 21st surrounded by his granddaughters and youngest sister.

Survivors include his son, Robert Westenhaver; granddaughters Lauren and Macie Westenhaver; siblings Mary Ellen (Ed) Farris, John Westenhaver, Amanda (Steve) Hofmann, and Emily (Mark) Corbin; close friends Mark Dyer and Wayne (P-Dad) West; as well as many wonderful nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his beloved parents Tom Westenhaver Sr. and Barbra Mary Westenhaver, as well as his sister Judy Gochanour.

There will be a memorial service to celebrate the life of Tom Westenhaver on Sunday, October 5, 2025 from 1:00pm - 4:00pm at Clay City First Church Fellowship Hall.
