Obituary of Thomas Robert Benbrook

Thomas “Tom” Robert Benbrook, 36, of Leonardo departed from this earth on September 10, 2022. He was born on July 10, 1986 in Red Bank, NJ, to Sharon Lee Davis and Michael Benbrook. Tom lived and grew up in Leonardo, NJ and graduated from Middletown High School South, Class of 2004. 

Tom served in the United States Army and was a part of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation New Dawn with his highest rank being a Sergeant (SGT E-5). Tom left the US Army in 2011 to explore other career opportunities outside of the military. 

Tom was a big lover of music and movies. He loved to sing and was lead singer in a band with his friends. Tom could always find a way to put a smile on someone’s face, whether it was with his goofy wit or an imitation of Jim Carrey or some other comedic actor. Tom’s big personality was present as soon as he would enter a room. 

Tom was a son, a brother, a friend and a dad. Tom will be sorely missed by many. 

Tom is survived by two sons Thomas and Lawton, and two Daughters, Lilah and Savannah; three sisters Krystal DeNicola (Benbrook), Lynne Dabney (Davis), and Danielle Davis; one nephew, Christopher and three nieces, Kylee, Brooke and Addilynn; and his father Michael Benbrook and stepfather, Michael W. Davis. Tom is preceded in death by his mother, Sharon Lee Davis and nephew Clayton John Benbrook.
