With deep sadness, we announce the passing of Thomas Vincent Leverich of West Windsor, NJ, who died peacefully on June 4, 2025, at the age of 75.
Tom was born on August 12, 1949, in Rockville Centre, NY, to William B. Leverich and Marie R. Laliberte. He was a devoted husband to Michele, his beloved wife of 47 years, and a proud father to Jessica, Adam, and Emily.
Tom attended St. Pius X and graduated from Cathedral College in 1971. He built a meaningful and impactful career as a Senior Specialist for the Child and Adult Care Food Program with the Mid -Atlantic regional office of Food and Nutrition Service, USDA.
A lifelong lover of folk music, Tom shared his passion with the Friends of Worship and was often found with a guitar in hand, strumming along to the songs of Peter, Paul, and Mary and many others. He was an avid fan of the Brooklyn Dodgers and cherished memories of watching his favorite team play at Ebbets Field. Tom’s love of the game inspired him to play baseball throughout high school and college.
Tom’s lifelong passion was genealogy. He dedicated himself to researching and compiling the extensive history of the descendants of Rev. William Leverich (c.1606–1677) of England, New England, and Long Island, NY. His work connected Leverich family descendants across the globe and culminated in the co-authorship with Michael E. Leveridge and publication of A Godly Minister: The Reverend William Leverich of Great Britain, New England, and New York. His research can be found at leverichgenealogy.org.
Tom is survived by his wife, Michele Bouchard; his children, Jessica Leverich Rando (Carmine Rando), Adam Leverich (Rebecca Scott), and Emily Leverich (Carlos Villanueva); and four step-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister, Mary Jo Leverich Lenihan (Edward Lenihan); sister-in-law, Mary Leverich (wife of the late William F. Leverich); and many loving nieces and nephews.
Tom’s legacy is one of integrity, kindness, resilience, and love.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made in Tom’s memory to a charity meaningful to you.
