Thomas Wendell Sleeman

Thomas Wendell Sleeman was born January 27, 1942 to Stanley and Viola Sleeman.  He passed away on June 19, 2022 at the age of 80 in Modesto CA where he lived for over 60 years. 
Thomas is preceded in death by his parents Stanley and Viola, his brother Donnie Sleeman of Oakdale CA.  He survived by his son Todd Sleeman of Modesto CA, his siblings Ronnie Sleeman of Oakdale CA, Leroy Sleeman of Oakdale CA and Rita Haley of Las Vegas NV and his grandchildren Tanner Sleeman of Modesto CA and Madison Sleeman of Modesto CA.
As a young man he milked cows for a local dairy, worked in canneries and Riverbank Army Ammunition Plant. 

Tom then found his calling in real estate for which he was in the business for over 30 years and at one point owning his own real estate company.  Tom enjoyed the rodeo, spending time in the Central Sierra Nevada Mountains, gold panning, hunting, ocean fishing, traveling to Mexico, tending to his lush garden and playing dominos with family and friends.  He also enjoyed horse packing deer hunting trips in the mountains with his brother and friends.  He loved going on car rides in his car just to see what he could see that day and had the best time getting together on the holidays with family.  He will be greatly missed.
