Thomas R.M. Pearson

Thomas R.M. Pearson, of Bellingham, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully on September 20, 2026, in Westborough, Massachusetts. He was the beloved husband of Jean Leslie (Procaccini) Pearson, with whom he shared 40 wonderful years of marriage filled with love, laughter, and unwavering devotion.

Tom was the son of the late Richard N. Pearson and Danella (Hewitt) Pearson. He was also predeceased by his sister, Anne Giordano. He grew up in Dover, Massachusetts, where he spent his childhood and developed the strong work ethic, generosity, and integrity that would characterize him throughout his life.

A devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, Tom's greatest joy was his family. He leaves behind his cherished daughters, Jenna Feuling and her husband, Michael, and Kayla Pearson. His two beloved granddaughters, Hailey Rose and Harper, were truly the light of his life and brought him immeasurable joy and happiness. He is also survived by his brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, along with many nieces, nephews, and dear friends.

Tom dedicated much of his life to the plumbing trade, a profession he deeply loved. After years of hard work and dedication, he fulfilled his lifelong dream of opening his own plumbing business in 2014. A true master of his craft, Tom took immense pride in his work and earned the respect and admiration of colleagues, customers, and friends alike. His friendly nature, generous spirit, and genuine kindness often turned clients into lifelong friends.

Beyond his remarkable mechanical abilities and work ethic, Tom will be remembered for his quick wit, infectious sense of humor, and ability to find laughter in almost any situation. He was generous with both his time and his heart, always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. No matter what the circumstances, Tom never hesitated to share what he had and support those around him.

Some of Tom's happiest memories were made spending time with family. He especially enjoyed relaxing by his pool, fishing, camping with his wife and granddaughters, and traveling to new places with Jean. Whether on an adventure or simply enjoying a quiet moment at home, Tom treasured the time spent with those he loved most.

While Tom accomplished much throughout his life, his proudest achievement was always his family. The love, wisdom, humor, and generosity he shared will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. He leaves behind a legacy of kindness, laughter, and unwavering devotion to family that will never be forgotten.
