Thomas Edward Bruder, 73, passed away peacefully at his home in Bethel Park on July 23, 2026. He is survived by his brothers and sisters, Donna Beidel of Virginia; James (Patricia) Bruder, Jeffrey (Patricia) Bruder, Gary Bruder, Richard Bruder, John (Judi) Bruder, David Bruder of Pennsylvania; Diane (Henry) James of South Carolina; and numerous nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his parents, William C. and Rita (White) Bruder, brother William R. (Leah) Bruder, and brother-in-law Bernard Beidel.
Tommy had a special love for animals and cared for his two pet birds for many years. He found great joy in his favorite toys and loved watching television, especially The Dukes of Hazzard, wrestling, and anything involving combat. Tommy enjoyed coffee and had a sweet tooth, especially for donuts and buttered bread.
Tommy was the sweetest soul, bringing laughter, love, and countless cherished memories to his family. His gentle spirit and kind heart touched everyone who knew him, and he will be deeply loved, forever remembered, and greatly missed.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date, where family and friends will gather to honor and remember Tommy. A private interment will take place at Union Dale Cemetery.
To honor Tommy’s memory and continue the compassion that was shown throughout his life, the family asks that memorial contributions be made to The Barber Institute (https://www.barberinstitute.org/giving/make-a-donation).
