Thomas (Tom)

Joseph Daley

Thomas (Tom) Joseph Daley went to be with our Lord in heaven on March 18, 2024. He was born on July 18, 1938, in St. Louis, MO to the late Alfred and Eleanor Daley (nee: Hayes).

Tom was united in marriage to Diane Daley (nee: Fedina) and they shared 34 wonderful years together before her passing in December of 2020.

Tom served on the City of St. Louis Police force for 29 years. For 13 of those years, he served as a Sergeant. During his career he earned two Chiefs letters of Commendation. He and Diane were active in St. Stanislaus Kostka Catholic Church for many years. Tom loved to cook. He often cooked for fellow officers and firefighters and would bring his friends and family homemade banana nut bread and his famous gooey butter cake. He was a history connoisseur, an amazing gardener, and had a laugh that was contagious.

He was a dear uncle, cousin, brother-in-law, and friend to many. His dear nieces and nephews and their families loved him so much and enjoyed every minute they spent with their Uncle Tom. He will be greatly missed by his family and many dear friends.
He is preceded in death by his mother, father, brother, sister, and his beloved wife, Diane.

His family will be hosting a private memorial service at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, Memorial donations are appreciated to the BackStoppers Organization of St. Louis for the families of fallen officers. https://backstoppers.org
