Thomas Wayne Gustin, 55, received the promise of eternal life on Saturday, August 7, 2021. He was born in Racine on June 28, 1966, son of Dean and Barbara (Née: Welsh) Gustin.
Thomas graduated from Horlick High School in 1984. He professionally installed insulation for Union Local 19 until his retirement last month. Tom was an outdoorsman at heart. He loved fishing weather on a warm summer day or even drilling through the ice during the cold of winter. Tom also was an avid bowler and a huge Wisconsin sports fan. He enjoyed watching the Packers, Bucks, Brewers, and Badgers. Tom was one of the greatest handymen around. He could fix just about anything, although, small engine repair was his specialty. Tom loved his family tremendously and will be dearly missed.
Tom leaves to cherish his memory, his children, Chris Killman, Ryan Gustin, Michael (Carmen) Gustin, Savanah Gustin; grandchildren, Rylee Gustin, Niklaus Gustin; father, Dean Gustin; siblings, Connie (Mike) Lombard, Bill (Jill) Gustin, Mike Gustin, Brian (Carrie Moore) Gustin, Mary (Willie) Gustin-Anderson, Barb Gustin; his best friend, Heather Christensen; nieces, nephews, other relatives, and other dear friends too numerous to mention.
Tom is preceded in death by his mother, Barbara Gustin; brother, Dean Gustin; and sister-in-law, Laura Gustin.

It was true blessing to know such a great guy, him in my life, he will and is deeply missed. Baxter our dog loved him so much and every time he would see him he get so excited and pee on him lol, poor Baxter will never get to see his Buddy which is heart breaking 💔 😢. I know he isn’t suffering no more and he is with his mother and loved ones, he is an angel above watching over us. RIP Tom until we meet again 😢.
Love, Carrie

I’m so saddened to learn of my cousin passing, I really wish I could be there , my prayers and thoughts and heart are with my family on this sad day, he was a good guy, had heart of gold, I’m sure he is with his mom and rest of the family we’ve lost, so we know he’s being taken care of. I’m thinking of you all and pray for comfort for you all

He loved every one as Christ loved the Church! In always felt better after each time we hung out together. As he was making his plans to retire and start working out with me! I was looking forward to spending more time together. In know in Christ at the appointed time we will have that forever moment! In the twinkling of an eye You are now face to face with Christ! Singing Holy Holy Holy with the angels and Saints
