Thomas Anthony Dauria

Thomas Anthony Dauria, also known as Dad, Pop-Pop, Mr.Tom, and so much more, of Tabernacle, NJ, passed away suddenly on Monday, December 23, 2024, after a hard fought battle with cancer. He was 68 years old. Born in the Bronx, NY, Tom was the beloved son of Marion Jones and Thomas James Dauria.

Tom was a man of endless generosity and a true friend to all. He was a dedicated father and “Pop-Pop,” his greatest joy in life was his family. Whether it was teaching his children about life on the farm, farming himself, making flower arrangements, or spending time with his grandchildren, Tom gave his heart fully and unconditionally to those he loved.

A man deeply rooted in the natural world, Tom was a skilled farmer and could identify a plant’s variety just by looking at it. He found joy and purpose in working the land and educating others on doing the same. He was also an avid hunter and fisherman, spending countless hours outdoors in pursuit of his passions. His love of nature was matched only by his love for people—Tom never met a stranger, and his “give the shirt off his back” attitude left a lasting impact on everyone who crossed his path. 

He is survived by his children, Travis (wife Katie), Patrick (wife Mandy), Emily (fiancé Sean), and Kayla (Greg) Dauria; his cherished grandchildren, Cameron, Landon, and Madison; and his sisters, Marilyn Conley and Judi Dauria. He is now reunited in heaven with his brother, Billy, along with many dear friends and family who passed before him. Tom will also be deeply missed by his nieces, nephews, and a wide circle of friends who became family.

Relative and friends are invite to attend his viewing on Monday, January 6, 2025 from 9:30 to 11:30 AM at the Bradley & Stow Funeral Home, 127 Medford -Mt. Holly Road, Medford, NJ 08055.
