Thomas C Sorensen
1947-2016
Our beloved father, grandfather, great grandfather, and friend passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family after a courageous 4 year battle with pancreatic cancer. He had a great love for his family and they treasured every minute that they spent with him. He loved hunting, fishing and camping with his family and friends in the Colorado mountains. Although he was born and raised in Utah, he always called Colorado Springs, Colorado his home, where he lived and raised his 5 children for 38 years. He served 3 years in the US Army during the Vietnam conflict.
Tom worked for the Department of Defense as an accountant and as such was able to take his family and live in Germany for a total of 7 years. Other than hunting with his sons and his friends, they were the most memorable times of his life.
He married his high school sweetheart, LeAnne Smoot on December 21, 1966 in Centerville, Utah and was later sealed to her in the Salt Lake Temple. He and his wife served 9 years as temple ordinance workers in the Denver Temple and 9 years as Stake missionaries at the Colorado State Prison in Florence, Colorado (his two very favorite callings in the church). He was the most principled and honest man we have ever known.
He was born to Vaughn C. and Leatha Sorensen in Mt.
