Thomas Floyd Samuelson, 40, of Rigby, passed away Wednesday, Dec. 19, 2012, at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls after a lifelong battle with breathing problems.
He was born Jan. 15, 1972, at Madison Memorial Hospital in Rexburg. Due to a weeklong blizzard, it was a consideration that he would be born at home. He was the second son and the fourth child to Larry Floyd Samuelson and Myla Gay Casper Samuelson. He grew up in Menan and Rexburg before moving to Rigby in 2005. He graduated from Madison High School in 1990 and worked for Upper Valley Industries, McDonald's and Deseret Industries in Rexburg.
Thomas enjoyed making dream catchers, growing peppers to make hot pepper sauce, cooking, making homemade ice cream, and music, especially Mannheim Steamroller and arrangements by composer Jean Sibelius.
His older brother, Kenneth, died in 1977, and his father died in 2009.
He is survived by his mother, Myla Samuelson of Rigby; sisters, Sarah (Fred) Hayes of Ontario, N.Y., and Larrynda Samuelson of Rigby; brother, Steven Samuelson of Pendleton, Ore.; nieces, Susie Hayes of Pittsburgh, Shaina Hayes of Ontario, N.Y., and Araya Reeves of Pendleton, Ore.; and nephew, Jake Samuelson of Vancouver, Wash.
