In Loving Memory of Thomas "Tom Gogolin

Thomas "Tom" Gogolin passed away on March 15, 2026, leaving behind a life marked by deep connections, loyalty, love of country, and care for both his family and those he chose as his own.

Tom served his country in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War, a commitment that remained an important part of who he was throughout his life.

Tom was preceded in death by his mother, May Ross, and his father, James R. Gogolin.

He is survived by his son, Derek and his daughter, Amanda; his sister, Teri, and his brother, Randy Gogolin; his niece, Janell McClurg; and his nephew, Zach Reed.

Tom's services are being handled by his closest friend, Julia Mulanax. He is also survived by his closest friends: Julia Mulanax; his special friend, Rhea Gogolin; his cousin and friend, Jim Donaldson; Curt Christian; Beda Peterson and her daughters, Nayeli and Mychae Hernandez; Lance and Sheila; and Veronica, all of whom shared their own special bond with Tom.

Tom will be remembered for his kindness toward others in need, his everyday jokes that brought smiles to those around him, his passion for hunting and fishing, and his love of crocheting blankets for his friends.

Though Tom is no longer here with us, the love, laughter, and kindness he shared remain with all who knew him. His stories, his humor, and his caring heart will continue to be carried forward in the lives he touched.

A celebration of life service will be held at Davenport's Chapel, 2860 Memorial Drive, Klamath Falls, OR on May 8, 2026 at 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM.
