Thomas 'Tommy' Richard Wogan

Thomas "Tommy" Richard Wogan, 22, of Tiffin, left this earthly life Saturday, Jan. 27, 2018, in Tiffin, following a battle with depression. He was born July 3, 1995, in Greenville, Pennsylvania, to Thomas and April (Mazarik) Wogan. Tommy is survived by his loving parents, Thomas and Kelly (Sparks) Wogan of Nashport; three siblings, Kyle (Ashley) Harman of Mantua, Kaylin Harman of Suffolk, Virginia, and Kirstie Harman of Columbus; two grandfathers, Walter Dale Wogan and Richard Mazarik (Kathleen Sekela), both of Warren; two aunts, Lisa Mazarik (Paul Whalen) of Tampa, Florida and Sandra (Steven) Ashe of Carlisle, Pennsylvania; grandparents, Herb and Sharon Tabor of Garrettsville and grandparents, Don and Janeen Sparks of Strongsville; and many other extended family members and friends who loved him deeply and miss him dearly. He was preceded in death by his mother, April Wogan; two grandmothers, Thelma Wogan and Maryann Mazarik; and his uncle, Richard Mazarik. Tommy was a 2013 Licking Valley High School graduate, where he was a three-year letterman and team captain in both football and wrestling. After high school, Tommy continued to play football and wrestle during his freshman and sophomore years at Heidelberg University. He graduated cum laude from Heidelberg in 2017 with a bachelor's degree in sports management and was pursuing his MBA at Heidelberg. During summer breaks, he worked at Lowe's as a customer service associate and on the stocking crew. Tommy was extremely active in his fraternity, Nu Sigma Alpha (also known as the "Heids"). He served as the fraternity's secretary and then as its president during spring semester of his senior year. With the fraternity, he volunteered for Trinity United Church of Christ, Tiffin-Seneca Teen Center and Ryan J. Klebowski Memorial Fund, that benefits children with cancer. Tommy enjoyed time in the outdoors riding 4-wheelers and dirt bikes as well as deer hunting with his father. Tommy always will be remembered for his kindness, infectious smile and unique sense of humor. Tommy was a gentle soul loved by his family and many friends. Though Tommy only was on this earthly planet for a short 22 years, his sphere of influence truly was amazing. He was a smart, loving and gracious young man, and is dearly missed. Tommy always will be remembered for his courage during difficult times, and even though he took his own life we know he is at rest without pain now. The Wogan family will receive family and friends 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 3, 2018, at Lane Family Funeral Home Roberts-Clark Chapel, 180 Garfield Drive NE, Warren, OH 44483.
