Obituary
Thomas Masao Wierschem, 39, went to be with Our Lord and savior on September 10, 2021.
Thomas was born on May 11, 1982, in Phoenix, Arizona. He graduated from Paradise Valley High School and received a full academic scholarship to ASU where he graduated with a Baccalaureate in Criminal Justice. He joined M.C.S.O. in March 2016 and had risen through the various ranks. Thomas became a Sergeant in April 2013 and Lieutenant in October 2015. He received numerous accommodations throughout his career. His last role with M.C.S.O. was that of an Executive Lieutenant, where he built effective working relationships with local courts, other law enforcement agencies, and all levels of office staff and command.
Thomas “finally found the love of a lifetime” with Deana and they married on October 31, 2016. He enjoyed traveling and spending as much time as he could on various beaches and truly enjoyed sharing his love of guns and bourbon with his family and friends. He was a devoted husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend.
He is survived by his wife, Deana Wierschem; son, Luis Lopez; daughter, Laurie Lopez; parents, Charles and Kazumi Wierschem; two sisters, Christina Reisinger (Jeffrey); Angela Ogden (Matthew); one brother, Daniel Wierschem and several nephews, niece, aunts, uncles, cousins and numerous friends.
He is preceded in death by grandparents, Masao and Kayono Nabeuchi and Ivan and Martha Wierschem.
Everyone who remembers him is asked to celebrate Tom’s life in their own way. So, raise a glass of your favorite bourbon in Tom’s memory, as this would be quite appropriate.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on September 29, 2021 at Thompson Funeral Chapel, 926 S. Litchfield Rd, Goodyear, AZ 85338.

I’ve known Tom over the years through our work. I remember clearly one day a discussion about him becoming a defense lawyer to serve protecting Officers. In many ways he had accomplish that in his current role. Tom leaves many lasting impacts on all whom crosses his path. All who have had an opportunity to know him would say he was smart, loved his family, and friends.
Rest in peace, Tom.

Thomas was a great guy and coworker. I enjoyed my time working with him and as others have said, one thing I’ll remember was his smile. Thank you, brother, for bringing warmth and kindness to a place that never is that way. Til Valhalla….

Tom came into our lives and left a footprint in our hearts and we are never the same.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4 – “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.”
