Thomas E. McKearn, 65, of Whitewater, WI, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, February 8, 2020 just outside of Milton. Tom was born on September 29, 1954 in Beloit, WI to the late Richard and Anne Marie (FitzPatrick) McKearn. He graduated from Beloit Turner High School in 1972.

Tom was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Milton, the Village Squares dance club and was the former President of the Milton Youth Football League. He cherished his time with his family. Tom was a friend to everyone and loved by everyone. His joy was his wife, kids, grandkids, and his home. He loved working at his job and at his farm, The McKearn’s Shamrock Acres, with his son, Matt.
