Thomas Michael Schwartz

Thomas Michael Schwartz, age 73, passed on Christmas Day 2020. He was born on September 30th, 1947, in Omaha, Nebraska to parents Henry and Agnes Hana Schwartz. He was a Vietnam Navy Veteran serving on the USS Ranger. After exiting the Navy, he married the woman of his dreams, Ann Stratman Schwartz, in 1970. He additionally served two years in the US Army Reserves in the mid to late 1970s. Tom honorably served as a Police Officer for over 27 years with the Omaha Police Department. Upon retirement in 1997, he and Ann moved around every couple years: to Grove, Oklahoma; Corpus Christi, Texas; The Villages, Florida; and Hamilton, Georgia. He then finally settled in Montgomery, Texas in 2008 where he lived until he passed. Tom was a devoted and loving Husband, Father, Brother, Uncle, and Friend to All. In 2014, Tom and Ann took the trip of their dreams to Israel to “walk in Jesus’ footstep” - renewing their wedding vows in the Holy Land. This trip brought both of them closer to each other and strengthened their relationship with Christ. This last year, Tom often stated that he had achieved the greatest accomplishment of his life - being married to his soulmate Ann for 50 years, and then renewing their vows once again in front of loved ones. He loved spending his free time with Grandchildren and volunteering his time with his church family at St Mary’s Catholic Church in Plantersville, Texas.
