Thomas Wismer Obituary
Thomas Allen Wismer, 54, of Benton Harbor died suddenly after a long illness on Sunday, March 8, 2026.
His life began Sept. 29, 1971, in Buchanan, the youngest of two children born to Larry and Sharon Wismer.
Tom spent time in the U.S. Navy repairing hydraulic systems in helicopters (HC-16; Pensacola, Fla.) before returning to civilian life. His love of fixing things led to a career as an auto mechanic. Health problems lead to an early retirement where he rooted for the Detroit Lions and Tigers and took care of feeding the neighborhood stray cats.
Thomas will be greatly missed by family and friends. He is survived by one son, Derek Wismer; one sister, Tina (Tim Williams) Wismer and a host of cousins.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
The family will observe a private remembrance.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Wagner Family Funerals Pobocik Chapel, Three Oaks. Please share a memory or a message online: wagnercares.com.

Tommy was my cousin although we hadn´t seen each other in a very very long time. My memory of him is when he was very little. He was such a cute sweet little kid. May he have found peace and happiness. Love, Shannon
