With broken hearts, we announce the passing of Thomas Edwin Maeurer Sr., or intimately known as Tommy by his big, loving family.
Born on June 14, 1978 in Bellingham, Tommy attended school in the Lynden School District and made his home in Lynden.
Tom was a man of integrity, love, humor and fun. He was extremely hardworking, earning himself respect within the oil refinery business. In all Tom did, he did it with his whole heart, especially when it came to his friends and family. He was always a phone call away. He showed up.
Tom helped those in need, and did so with a grateful heart.
Tom is survived by his parents, Patty and Robert Frost, Ed and Tani Maeurer. His siblings, Tiffiny and Jeremy Vrieling, Tammy and Tom Smith, and Mikey Maeurer. As well as his aunts, uncles, and cousins. His nieces and nephews, Matthew (Ashley), Montanna (Tyler), Madison, Landon, Olivia, Carter, Ella, Ben, and his great-nephew, Otto Vrieling. They will forever miss their uncle Tom and the fun he brought to every family event, camping trips, and more than anything, on the fourth of July. He’d teach them how to blow things up. He loved his fireworks.
His parents, Patty, Robert, Ed, and Tani, along with his big sister, Tiffiny, bonus brother Jeremy, little sister, Tammy, bonus brother Tom, and little brother Mikey, would love for you to join us on what would be Tommy’s 46th birthday, June 14. The celebration of life will be held at Berthusen Park Pavillion from 3-7 p.m. We want to celebrate and remember the good times that he brought to each of us.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Tom’s memory to Whatcom County Crisis Center, Suicide Prevention at WCTC 2026 Division St., Bellingham, WA 98226.

But, ‘till then, give heaven some hell.”
