Thom Reuscher


(From Ozark Funeral Home)

November 18, 1967 - December 12, 2023

Thomas Edward Reuscher, known affectionately as Thom or "Dogg" to his friends and family, left this world on Tuesday afternoon, December 12, 2023, after months of failing health. 

Born in the sunny city of Los Angeles, California, Thom's life was a journey filled with laughter, adventure, and the roar of a motorcycle engine. He passed away in the comfort of his home in Noel, Missouri.








Thom was the kind of guy who could light up a room with his humor and charm. Raised in Orange County, California, he attended local schools where he was known for his quick wit and ability to make friends with ease. Thom's laughter was infectious, and his presence was a guarantee of good times and unforgettable stories.

A talented mechanic, Thom could fix just about anything that had wheels and an engine. He spent several years working at Tyson's in Noel, where his knack for problem-solving and his friendly banter made him a favorite among his colleagues. Thom's hands were skilled, but it was his heart and his humor that truly set him apart.

Outside of work, Thom was a man of simple pleasures and grand adventures. He was an avid fisherman, often found with a line in the water, waiting for the next big catch while enjoying a cold beer. His grandchildren were the apples of his eye, and he cherished every moment spent with Analisa, Anissa, Alexcia, Christopher, Aiden, and Ian.

Motorcycles were another passion of Thom's, and he loved nothing more than feeling the wind on his face as he cruised the open road. His sense of adventure was as boundless as his sense of humor. Thom was the life of the party, a jokester who never missed an opportunity to make people laugh. His stories were legendary, his jokes were endless, and his laughter was a melody that will echo in the hearts of those who knew him.

He is survived by his wife, Miranda Reuscher; his daughter, Corrin and her husband, Jesus; his father, Edward Reuscher; his siblings, Christie Sykes, Judy McDill, and David Reuscher; and a host of other family and friends. He was preceded in death by his mother, Cathy (Curtin) Reuscher, and a son, Ian Berrier. The stories and memories of Thom will continue to inspire laughter and love in all who were fortunate enough to know him.








As we say goodbye to Thom, we remember a man who was more than just a mechanic, a fisherman, or a motorcycle enthusiast. He was a beacon of happiness, a purveyor of fun, and a true friend to all. Thom "Dogg" Reuscher may have taken his final ride into the sunset, but the laughter he left behind will continue to warm our hearts and guide us through the days ahead. Rest in peace, Thom. Your jokes may have ended, but the joy you brought to our lives will never be forgotten.

Funeral services are 5:00 p.m. Friday, December 15, 2023 in the Anderson Chapel of the Ozark Funeral Homes with Pastor Bill Hackworth officiating. The family will receive friends beginning at 4:00 p.m. in the funeral home chapel. Arrangements have been entrusted to the care of Ozark Funeral Home in Anderson, Missouri.
