Thomas Edward "Tom" Muth
June 22, 1960 ~ May 31, 2021
Thomas Edward “Tom” Muth, 60, of Girard, Ohio, passed away unexpectedly in Indianapolis, Indiana on May 31, 2021. He was born in Youngstown, Ohio on June 22, 1960 to the late Charles and Norma (Angeletti) Muth.
Tom graduated from Cardinal Mooney Catholic High School in Youngstown Ohio. Tom worked at various steel mills throughout his life, such as Hunt Steel and North Star Steel where he met his wife Deborah (Mock) Martin. Debbie and Tom wed after 35 years of friendship on May 26, 2018.
Tom was a hard worker all his life. He loved having money in his pockets (and he can spend it too). Tom did not lack in generosity; he would give you the shirt off his back if he needed to, and was always willing to help people. He was a very easy-going guy, always meeting new people and making new friends wherever he went. In his spare time, Tom loved to go fishing, tinkering around and fixing things, and really enjoyed his music.
Tom loved life; he was always smiling. He enjoyed cheering on the Pittsburgh Steelers, trips to the beaches, and his love of plants and landscaping was a joy to him. Tom will be deeply missed by all of those who knew and loved him.
Along with his parents, Tom was preceded in death by his brother, Michael.
Survivors include the love of his life and wife, Debbie (Mock) Martin Muth of Girard, Ohio; his son, John (Emily) Muth of Indiana, and his daughter Annmarie (Devon) Novotney of Indiana; his two stepsons, James Martin and Daniel Franqui both of Girard, Ohio and stepdaughter, Tracie Franqui, also of Girard, Ohio; 5 grandchildren and 3 step-grandchildren; his sister Kathy (Michael) Cox of North Carolina; his brother, Chuck (Carol) Muth of Rodgers, Ohio and numerous nieces and nephews. Tom leaves behind many friends in Indiana and two dear friends from elementary school, Donny Santarelli, and Paul Kane.
A memorial service to celebrate Tom’s life will be held at a later date. Final care and cremation arrangements are entrusted to O’Riley Funeral Home, 6107 South East Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46227. Please visit www.ORileyFuneralHome.com to leave an online condolence for Tom’s family

Condolences to Toms family. I went to Choffin with him and dated him a short time. I also hung out with him and Donny. I really liked Tom a lot. He will be missed.
My condolences to Tom’s family. I worked with him years ago at Bliss Mfg. I have always wished that I have met him as I travel the world as a steel mill tech lately.
“If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.” I knew Tom many years ago, during our days of youthful inexperience, enthusiasm, idealism, innocence, and indiscretion, that created many great memories. Tom will be missed.
Of the many wonderful things I remember about Tommy, the one that is strongest at the moment is how kind he was to everyone. He was particularly kind to my mother, she absolutely loved him.
My deepest sympathy to the Muth family. He was always the life of the party. RIP
Stunned and saddened to hear about the passing on of one of the best friends I was blessed with growing up. Will never forgive myself for losing touch, but will always hold dear the memories of the old gang: Tommy, Paul Kane, Donny Santerelli, Tim Tricket, and myself (Mark Miller) . Peace and love to all his Family. Feel terrible that I did not remain closer. Friends like Tom are few and far between! Cherish his memory, always, as I know will. God Bless a d rest in peace Tommy!!!
We are so sorry to hear about the unexpected passing of Tom. Dan lived on the same street as Tom and use to watch him when his mother couldn’t. As an adult Tom was a pleasure to know and a kind friend. All our sympathies and prayers to his family and friends. Dan and Patty Colucci
