Thomas Doggett

With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Tom Doggett on January 14, 2025, at the age of 66 surrounded by the love and support of his wife and family. Tom fought bravely against his cancer, defying the odds for as long as he could, but despite all of our love and his strength, the illness could not be overcome.

Thomas Eugene Doggett was born July 10, 1958, in Lincoln, Nebraska.  He attended Cathedral of the Risen Christ Elementary School and Lincoln Pius X High School.  Tom was inducted to the Lincoln Pius X Athletics Hall of Fame on August 5, 2023, for his outstanding accolades in football, baseball and basketball.  After high school, he attended the University of Nebraska and a member of the football team until injuries shortened his career. He graduated from the University of Nebraska with a Bachlors degree in Business.

Tom was a very successful businessman starting off his career as a Runza restaurant franchisee in Omaha.  In 2009 to present, he worked at Lincoln Trucking as a warehouse supervisor.

Tom loved to travel and all sports and was well-known to play a round or two of golf. His greatest love though was his family. The efforts of the previous two years were definitely outweighed by the loving joy he received from his two granddaughters.

Tom is survived by his wife Karin Fusco-Doggett, son Taylor and daughter-in-law, Siara, daughter Jenna Doggett and son Sammy Doggett, stepsons Gage and Avery Peake,
granddaughters Brynlee and Brooklyn Doggett, daughter’s of Taylor and Siara, mother Karlene Doggett, brother Larry Doggett, sister Monique Dogget and proceeded in death by his father Larry Doggett.

Celebration of life is to take place on January 26, 2025, at Water’s Edge at the Woodlands Clubhouse, 8801 Mohave Dr., Lincoln, NE 68516, from 2-5 p.m.
