THOMAS EARL CLINE

Thomas "Tom" Cline, 79, of Jackson, MI, passed away on April 4, 2025, in Sebring, FL. Tom was born on March 31, 1946, to Earl and Elsie Cline. He was a beloved husband to Drema and a cherished father to Michelle and Brian.

Tom enjoyed growing up on Ackerson Lake spending his summers swimming, skiing and chasing girls. He graduated from Napoleon High School in 1965 and joined the United States Air Force where he painted aircraft as a Coating Specialist until honorable discharge as SGT in 1971. He later retired from General Motors/Delphi and spent his winters in sunny Florida with his wife and new friends.

Tom had a passion for classic cars and you could always find him at car shows with his hot rod. He enjoyed working on projects and took pride in having the cleanest car on the block. Tom was generous and kind, always helping friends and family without hesitation. His artistic talent and attention to detail were unmatched.
