Thomas Anthony Carrasco, age 79 of Sidney, NE and formerly of Franktown, CO., passed away peacefully on November 22, 2025.

Tom was a loving and devoted husband, a proud grandfather, and a dad who always put family first; a caring brother, son, and a loyal friend. He loved bird watching, stargazing, RV camping, sports, and music. He was a fervent dog lover, aka ‘The Dogfather’ who fostered and frequently adopted upwards of 80 rescued dogs.

Tom was beloved for his quick wit and lighthearted humor — a fun-loving trickster who loved to make people laugh. He leaves behind a legacy of kindness and quiet strength that will be remembered by all who knew him.

Tom is survived by his wife, Andrea; his sons, Tom, Tim (Dana), and Todd (Jennifer); and grandsons, Joshua, Cayden, Duncan, and Cael; siblings, Gregg, Belinda, and Desiree.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Albert, and Catherine Carrasco; and siblings, Delores, Trinidad, Francis, and James.

Memorial Services for Thomas will take place at a later date and will be announced when available. In lieu of flowers memorial donations can be made to the Rocky Mountain Collie & Sheltie Rescue (https://www.collieshelterescue.org/info/donate)
