Thomas Peter Chernewski Jr., 28, of Shenandoah, Pennsylvania, passed away on April 22, 2025, in Shenandoah. Born on January 7, 1997, in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, Thomas was a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend whose presence brought joy to those around him.

A 2016 graduate of Shenandoah Valley Jr/Sr High School, Thomas remained close to his roots and the people who meant the most to him. He shared a special bond with his mother, Pamela Chernewski—his best friend and favorite shopping companion. Their trips to Goodwill were more than just outings; they were cherished moments filled with laughter and connection.

Thomas found happiness in the simple pleasures of life. He loved playing video games with his nephew Jaxon and looked forward to welcoming another nephew, CJ. As the youngest in his family, he held a unique place in their hearts—a role he embraced with warmth and humor.

He adored his cat Crackers and found comfort in music and spending time with his family. Whether hanging out at home or enjoying everyday moments together, Thomas’s love for those closest to him was evident in all he did.

Thomas’s memory will live on through the love he shared and the lives he touched. May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him.
