Thomas Joseph Ciccone, 60, of Newnan, GA, passed away on Tuesday, August 8, 2023.
Thomas was born August 1, 1963, in Brooklyn, NY, to Thomas and Dorothy (Simonsen) Ciccone. He grew up alongside his brothers and sister in Hazlet, NJ. Thomas graduated from Raritan High School in 1981 and went on to attend Kean University in Union, NJ. He graduated Kean in 1986 obtaining his Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Design.
Thomas met the love of his life, Maureen, in the 1980s while working at Pathmark Supermarket of Hazlet. After five years of dating, the two decided to tie the knot in 1989. Thomas and Maureen spent 34 wonderful years in a loving marriage.
The couple lived in Middletown, NJ until 2007 when they moved to Peachtree City, GA, greatly enjoying their new life in the South. Thomas spent the majority of his working career in the Financial Services Industry as a Systems Analyst, where he formed many long-lasting friendships and was respected for his hard work and dedication to his craft.
Thomas was a devout Catholic and a member of Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Peachtree City. He was a dedicated coach with the Peachtree City Little League Baseball and Soccer associations for many years and an active participant in several Fantasy Football and Baseball leagues.
An avid classic rock fan, Thomas enjoyed attending concerts alongside his partner, Maureen, until their son was old enough to take her place. Thomas was a huge fan and collector of vintage Marvel and DC comic books, with a particular passion for all things Batman. He greatly enjoyed traveling in his spare time and had a fondness for Caribbean beaches, the Grand Canyon, and Viva Las Vegas!
