Thomas's obituary

Tom Dantona, age 58, of Saint Peter, Minnesota died suddenly of a heart attack on February 27, 2020.

He is survived by his wife of 37 years: Janet Aquino-Dantona, Children: Desiree (Justin Ely) Dantona, Cheyenne Dantona, and Bernadette (Zach Sellman) Dantona, and Grandson: Milo Ely-Dantona, Brothers: Frank (Mary Lou) Dantona, Jim Dantona, John (Alex) Dantona, and Sister: Sylvia Meier, 8 Aquino siblings and in-laws: Joe (Patty) Aquino, John (Dorrie) Aquino, Susan Aquino, Barbara (Marco) Aquino, Tom Aquino, Robert (Kymberly) Aquino, Donald Aquino, Diane (Alan) Aquino-Medina, 12 nephews, and 6 nieces.

Preceded in death by his parents: Frank and Rose Dantona, brother-in-law: Francis Aquino, nephew: Tommy Aquino, and mother-in-law: Josephine Aquino. Followed in death by his sister-in-law: Kymberly Aquino

Tom lived for his family. He cared deeply for nature and astronomy. He made friends wherever he went, and with whoever he met. Like his father, he was a jack-of-all-trades; he never encountered a computer problem he couldn’t fix. He found joy in being on the open road for work, but there was no joy greater than his love for being home with his family. Recently, he found strength in God.
