Thomas "Tommy" Fulgencio

Thomas "Tommy" Fulgencio of Saginaw, Michigan 

Beloved son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, at Medilodge of Sterling Heights. He was 53 years old. Thomas Fulgencio was born on March 15, 1971, in Saginaw, Michigan, to Edward Fulgencio and MaryAnn (Torres) Fulgencio. He was a proud 1989 graduate of Carrollton High School. Following graduation, Tommy moved to Austin, Texas, where he worked for Abbott Laboratories for 10 years. Upon his return to Michigan, he secured a position with Dow Chemical Company. The role of his lifetime, one he treasured and cherished above all others, was to be a loving and devoted son and brother. He was a lifelong and faithful member of St. Joseph Catholic Church, and a was an active member of their Cursillo. Tommy had an extraordinary sense of humor and loved to make others laugh as well. He was so funny he could have been a standup comedian. Throughout his life, Tommy had a kind, gentle, and loving heart. He made friends wherever he went, whether it was a new person in school or someone he met off the street, his philosophy was to befriend anyone and love as God would love. Tommy also had a deep sense of compassion for his fellow man and would selflessly help others whenever he could. He was also an exceptional cook, loved going to the movies, and always had fun dancing. Tommy was priceless and profound to all that loved him. His loss leaves an indelible mark in everyone's heart, but his spirit will forever be one of love. 

Surviving are his father, Edward and Tari (Dusek) Fulgencio of Saginaw; three sisters and a brother, Christine Fulgencio of Saginaw; Matt Fulgencio of Saginaw, Catriana Abram of Saginaw; Tracie (Kris) Emerick of Saginaw; a special cousin, Alejandro "Paco" Fulgencio of Saginaw; and many loved nieces and nephews.
