Thomas Samuel Dovi, 71, son of Joseph Dovi and Antoinette Dovi-Corona, was a loving dad and Papa, lifelong friend and brother, husband, uncle, cousin and Godfather. Born in Wisconsin, he spent most of his life in California and New Mexico.
Thomas lived large and lived grand; an outdoorsman, skydiver, master carpenter, adventurer and burgeoning chef, he loved the mountains, the cosmos, history, animals, nature, reading, learning and self-improvement.
But most of all he loved his family.
He lived life to the fullest, on his own terms and with no regrets.
Thomas will be greatly missed by his daughter, Sarah; granddaughter, Addison; son-in-law, SSgt Joshua David Mast, USMC; his life-long companion, Melanie; his family; his many friends and his faithful dogs, Jack and Emma.
