Thomas Lee

Mundt

Thomas L. Mundt, age 74, passed away on Saturday, May 23, 2026, with his family by his side.

Thomas was born on May 6, 1952, the son of the late Albert and Ruth (Masche) Mundt.

In 1971 he graduated from Lake Mills High School.

Thomas served in the Army National Guard and was honorably discharged in 1978.

On September 23, 1978, Thomas was united in marriage to Deborah M. Riley. Together they raised a daughter, Nicole.

He spent several years working at Trek Bicycle in Waterloo, WI. Some of his coworkers affectionately called him the "Music Man" because he shared his love of music with them.

Thomas enjoyed many things during his life. He never passed up an opportunity to watch a Brewers, Packers, or Badgers game. When he was able to, he delighted in taking bike rides or walks on the Glacial Drumlin Trail and observing nature's beauty. Sometimes he even found a few Easter eggs on the trail (otherwise known as golf balls). He loved doing artwork challenges with his wife, daughter, and grandchildren.

He was thoughtful, generous, and caring to those he loved. If you had a squeaky door he'd disappear and be back in minutes with a can of WD-40 or anything else you needed. If you felt stress, he'd be there to try and make you smile. If you visited him on a holiday he would offer you a Southern Comfort Old Fashioned with extra olives.

Thomas will be missed immensely and forever be loved.

Thomas is survived by his wife, Deborah; daughter, Nicole (Nathan) Holman; grandchildren, Ava and Grant Holman; brother, Rodney (Lee) Mundt; sister-in-law, Marge Mundt; other relatives and friends.

Also preceded in death by his siblings, Gerald Mundt, Carole Wolfgram, and Roger Mundt.

A Celebration of Life will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 6, 2026, at the Lake Mills Municipal Building and Community Center, 200 Water Street, Lake Mills. A luncheon will begin at 12 noon. Please dress casual. Clothing is not optional.

If desired, memorials would be appreciated to the family to donate to Jefferson County Park System in Tom's name.
