Thomas J. Walls

Thomas J. Walls, 70, of Findlay, passed away Tuesday, October 28, 2025, at The Ohio State University Hospital.

Tom was born on August 28, 1955, in Indiana, to Eastel Walls and Ruby (Mann). In March of 1988, Tom married Laura Jean Miller, who survives.

A proud U.S. Air Force veteran, Tom was a dedicated Christian and a member of the VA. He lived a life full of stories that he loved to share with anyone who would listen. Tom never met a stranger; he welcomed everyone with open arms and an open heart.

He found happiness in life’s simple pleasures: casting a fishing line, sharing a meal, and spending time with family. He had a deep love for oldies music, especially the Beatles, and never turned down a chance to dance. Even in the face of goodbye, he danced with joy—a true testament to his enduring spirit.

In addition to his wife Laura, Tom is survived by his children Boe (Jess) Walls, Laci (Chris) Papagelis, Angel (Jake) Von Stein, and Dalton (Jen) Walls; and four beloved grandchildren, Baylor Walls, Arthur, Sam, and Astrid Walls. To his family, he was more than a husband, father, and grandfather. He was an anchor, protector, and friend.

Tom is also survived by his brothers, Tim Walls, Todd Walls, and Brian Walls. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ruby Rowe and Eastel Walls, and his brother, Terry Walls.

Tom’s warmth, humor, and generous nature will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Per the family’s wishes, no formal services will be held. HUFFORD FAMILY FUNERAL HOME, 1500 Manor Hill Rd., Findlay, (419-422-1500) is honored to serve Tom’s family.

Memorial contributions in Tom’s name may be made to Musicians On Call in his honor.
