Tom Lennan

October 31, 1944 - October 27, 2024

Lincoln, California - Tom Lennan, born Archie Thomas Lennan, Jr., passed away unexpectedly on October 27th just shy of his 80th birthday. Tom grew up in Topanga Canyon, where he made friends who he remained close to for life. Tom served proudly in the U.S. Naval Air during the Vietnam War. After many other jobs, he dedicated 30 years to the Contractors State License Board, where he made life long friends, retiring in 2004.

Tom was known for his warm, funny, giving, and loving nature. He was a man who cherished family and friends deeply and is survived by his wife, Suzanne; daughter, Jami, and son-in-law, Dan; granddaughters, Hailey, Lexie, and Maddie; sister, Annette Beneke; and nephew, Tom Beneke and so many friends. Outside of his professional and family life, Tom had a passion for travel and visited over 40 countries, loved the frustrating game of golf, and was an enthusiastic foodie, always eager to explore new culinary experiences. He was the best ever husband, dad, Papa, and friend.

Tom's life was one of service, love and laughter, and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him. No services planned, at his request. Just remember your experiences with him, and you are sure to smile.
