Thomas P. "Tom" Sheridan, age 58 of Hastings, died peacefully surrounded by family on Monday afternoon, June 7, 2021, at United Hospital in St. Paul. Thomas Patrick, the son of Wayne "Chic" and Margaret (Judge) Sheridan, was born on October 18, 1962, in Hastings. Following his graduation from Hastings High School with the class of 1981, Tom continued his education in Linemen Training at Dakota County Technical College where he received his Associates Degree. He then moved to Utah to enjoy the beautiful scenery and the ability to ski whenever he wanted. While there, Tom worked in building maintenance and also had the opportunity to deliver cars around the United States for many well-known people. When his father became ill, Tom returned to Hastings to care for his parents, a task that was very important to him. On August 9, 1991, he was united in marriage to Mary Hoffman in Hastings, and they were blessed with nearly thirty-years of marriage. Tom worked in new home construction for many years until accepting his dream job of Parks Management with Dakota County. Outside of work, Tom loved working in his yard and and always made sure it was immaculate. He also was proud of the fact that he built four homes for he, Mary and the kids over the years, and was always willing to lend a remodeling hand to family and friends. Tom and Mary enjoyed boating the river and spending time with their close friends at Hastings Marina. After selling their last boat, they enjoyed spending time with family and friends at their cabin in Webster, Wisconsin. No matter where he went, Tom was sure to make friends with anyone he met. Most of all, Tom cherished the time spent with his family and loved nothing more than becoming a "PaPa". He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Terry Sheridan; and by his best friend, Terry Plan. Tom is survived by his wife, Mary; daughters, Mindy Shoen and Kristie (Pete) Bauer; grandchildren, Hunter and Emily Shoen, and Kevin Bauer; siblings, Kerry (Wendy) Sheridan and Sheila Sheridan; sister-in-law, Betty (Bob) Holt; and by nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
