Dr. Thomas Edward Little, Edd, Dmin

Dr. Thomas Edward Little, EdD, DMin, 76, of Catonsville, MD went home to God on January 5, 2025. Born October 5, 1948, in Altoona, PA, he was the beloved son of the late Fred O. and Mary Margaret (Finnegan) Little.

Tom was a bright light, who dedicated his life to God’s work and making every person he met feel valued and important. His legacy lives on in his stories, his laughter, his love of singing, his passion for knowledge, and his children and grandchildren.

He is deeply missed by so many, especially his devoted wife, Patricia, who walked lovingly by his side for 44 years; his son, Matthew, and daughter-in-law Stephanie; his daughters Sarah and Rebecca; his son-in-law, Gavin, and his cherished grandchildren, Connor, Stella, Evelyn, Elizabeth, and Oliver.

No obituary can fully capture the depth of a life well-lived – the triumphs and trials, love and loss, joy and sorrow. But what can be said with certainty is that the world is a little dimmer without Tom in it.

Friends and family may gather at Candle Light Funeral Home, 1835 Frederick Road, Catonsville, MD 21228, on Friday, January 17, 2025 from 2:00 PM-4:00 PM and 6:00 PM-8:00 PM. A funeral mass will be held at St. Paul Catholic Church, 3755 St Paul Street, Ellicott City, MD 21043 on Saturday, January 18, 2025 at 11 AM. Interment is private. For those desiring, you may make a donation in Tom's memory to Catholic Relief Services.

SPECIAL FAMILY REQUEST: To celebrate Tom’s love of Notre Dame football, hats, and tropical shirts, please feel free to wear your finest blue and gold or Notre Dame apparel, Hawaiian shirts, or newsboy caps.
