About

Thomas Matthew Renkert, born on May 12, 1964, to parents Raymond and Marie Renkert, passed away on January 27, 2025, in Fresno, CA. His demise occurred unexpectedly, leaving a profound void among his loved ones in Model Co, La Junta Co, Fresno, and Clovis. Thomas, a cherished member of UFCW Local 7, dedicated his professional life to his craft as a butcher, and his passion didn’t stop there—he was also a skilled mason, tile contractor, and an enthusiastic chef.

A fervent Raiders supporter and an outdoors enthusiast, Thomas’s spirit will continue to resonate with every football game watched and every venture into nature. Family was paramount to Thomas; he was a beloved son, brother, father, and grandfather. Preceded in death by his father, a brother, two sisters, and his loyal dogs, his legacy is carried on by his mother Marie, sister Deborah, his children Elena (Craig), Alyssa (Brett), Thomas, Nathaniel (Lorina), Albert, and his grandchildren, who he adored immensely.

Thomas’s memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew him, with a promise to keep the love he had for his pets alive: “Here’s to giving the Pups a hug and a kiss at the gate, Tom. Love you!”
