Tommy D. Veeck

Tommy D. Veeck, 65, of Evansville, passed away Monday, June 8, 2020 at St. Vincent's Hospital after a 2 year battle with cancer. He was born on February 17, 1955 to the late Kenneth and Bessie (Beckham) Veeck. He was a 1973 graduate of F J Reitz High School.

He worked at Easter Seals Rehabilitation Center for 23.5 years and retired as the Director of Durable Medical Equipment. He had a passion for helping people, and was presented the Healthcare Hero award by the Courier and Press in 2015.

He enjoyed boating and jet skiing on the Ohio, and spending time at the river camp he loved. He will always be remembered for his smile. He loved spending time with his family, and was especially happy to become a grandpa "Dede".
