Thomas George

Ivancic

Mr. Thomas George Ivancic, of Lake St. Louis, Missouri, passed away peacefully at his home, surrounded by his loved ones, on Sunday, August 16, 2026, at the age of 69. Thomas was born on March 1, 1957, in St. Louis, Missouri, to George Martin and Helen Marie (nee: Bala) Ivancic.

Tom married the love of his life, Barbara Jean Ringling, on September 22, 1979, in Jennings, Missouri. Together, they shared more than 46 wonderful years of marriage, built a life and family together, and were blessed with four children.

Tom spent his career working as an electrician, but his work rarely ended when the workday was over. He was happiest when he was building, fixing, or figuring something out. Exceptionally talented with his hands, Thomas could build and repair just about anything. He built motorcycles from the ground up, worked on cars, and had a lifelong love of Corvettes, especially his blue 1968 Corvette. His knowledge extended well beyond his trade to home remodeling, construction, electrical work, and countless projects for his family and friends.

Tom was a private man who carried his beliefs quietly. He had an old soul and quiet strength, yet maintained a remarkably young spirit throughout his life. He did not need to say much for those closest to him to know how deeply he cared.

Above all else, Thomas loved his family. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather who shared a special bond with each of his grandchildren. Nothing brought him more joy than spending time with them, and he never missed an opportunity to spoil them.

Tom's strong, quiet presence, his knowledge and craftsmanship, and most of all, his unwavering love for his family will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

Thomas was preceded in death by his parents, George and Helen Ivancic.

He is survived by his loving wife, Barbara; his four children, Michael Ivancic and wife Lindsey, Daniel Ivancic and wife Melissa, James Ivancic and wife Jacqueline, and Kelly Lazalier and husband Andrew; his 10 grandchildren, Claire, Josephine, Holly, Hailey, Dakota, Tanner, Vivian, Jackson, James, and Genevieve, with another baby girl expected; his siblings, Joan Taryle and husband Gary and Martin Ivancic and wife Cynthia; as well as several nieces and nephews, other relatives, and many friends.

A Funeral Mass will be held on Thursday, September 10, 2026, beginning at 10:00 a.m. at Immaculate Conception of Dardenne Prairie. Thomas will be laid to rest on Friday, September 11, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at Calvary Cemetery in St. Louis.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Thomas's honor may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or Shriners Children's.
