Thomas Anthony Laden

April 10, 1957 - March 31, 2026

Tom Laden passed away on March 31, 2026, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, after a courageous battle with ALS. He was 68 years old. Born on April 10, 1957, in Oklahoma City to Don and Sally Laden, Tom was the eldest of eight children. He graduated from Bishop Kelley High School in 1975 and went on to earn his degree from the University of Tulsa. He took great pride in making a difference for the people he served during his 35+ year career at AJ Gallagher Insurance.

Tom was a devout Catholic and faithful parishioner at Christ the King Catholic Church. He was known above all for his loyalty, generosity, and love. He found joy in running, fishing, working in the yard, coaching and playing guitar. His greatest pride was his family: his wife of 46 years, Karen; his sons, Drew (wife Kathryn) and Aaron; and his son, Stephen, who preceded him in death. Also siblings, Rick Laden, Mary Beth Savage, Diane Zdanowski, Kathy Scott, Jayne Sivard, and their families.

Tom lived well and loved well. He will be deeply missed.
