Thomas David Yagerlener passed away peacefully at home Monday, September 9, 2024.

Tom was born on Thursday, August 16, 1951, this date also recognized as National Tell a Joke Day, which couldn’t be more fitting as Tom had a fantastic sense of humor.  Though Tom was born and raised in Ft. Pierce, FL., he considered the Road his home, where he lived a rich full life.  He loved this country and visited incredible national treasures and took in breathtaking landscapes.  For decades he traveled to the west and each time was constantly amazed at its beauty and treasures.  His utmost favorites included The Bad Lands, Yellowstone National Park, Devils Tower, Mt. Rushmore, crazy Horse, Little Big Horn, Blowing Rock, The Crown of Blue Ridge Mountains, The Appalachians Trail and all its wonders.  Tom was preceded by his father, Thomas Herbert Yagerlener and his mother, Madalynne Frushour Yagerlener.

Surviving are his wife: Nickola Marie; sister: Sharon (Travis) Murphy of Ft. Pierce, FL.; brother: Daniel Yagerlener of North Carolina; stepbrother: Jeff (MaryAnn) Lowe of Ft. Pierce FL; daughter: Kaley Marie Huskey of Vero Beach, FL.; grandson: Kasen Sabanilla of Vero Beach, FL.; stepson: Justin Walls of Orlando, FL.
