Tom T. Cat

Tom T. Cat, whose remarkable presence graced the vibrant fields of Pepperidge Farms, has left us, passing from this world on February 1, 2026, at Jerry's House in St. George, Utah. Born on December 12, 1999, in Ogden, Utah, Tom became an emblem of determination and spirit, embodying the quintessential moxie that defined his illustrious career as the most valuable mouse catcher on the farm.

With ten years of honorable service in the army from 1980 to 1990, Tom transitioned seamlessly into a life where he embraced every moment with vigor and enthusiasm. His dedication to his craft was evident, so much so that he bested his adversary, Jerry the mouse, not once but at least three times, a testament to his skill and tenacity. It can be said that no one knew the art of the chase quite like Tom, whose relentless pursuit brought charm and peculiar joy to the day-to-day life on the farm.

A proud graduate of high school, Tom was a scholar of the wild—the fields and barns his classroom, where he learned the invaluable lessons of resilience and courage. Surrounded by the simple beauty of his rustic surroundings, he cultivated a life rich in connections and experiences that would later define his legacy.

Tom is survived by his dear friend, Andrew Mitchell, whose companionship enriched Tom's days and whose shared laughter will echo in the hearts of those who knew them. In solemn remembrance, we also honor the memory of his late Uncle Zack Ferrin, who is gone but cherished in the stories and tales passed through generations.

Tom’s departure, while a profound loss felt by many, reflects a life well-lived—a testament to chasing one's passions to the very end. His journey, although brief, reminds us of the zeal for life that can inspire all. As we prepare to lay him to rest, we will gather to celebrate his spirit on February 6, 2026, at Tukios B in Ogden, Utah, a place that held memories both joyous and fond.

May his swift endeavors and fierce heart continue to resonate within us, guiding our aspirations and pursuits as vibrantly as Tom did throughout his time with us.
