Thomas "Tommy" Neddo III, 36, of Eagle River, passed away on July 25, 2025, in a house fire. He was born December 5, 1988, in Rhinelander, WI, the son of Tom Neddo Jr. and Barb (née Anderson) Neddo.

Tommy graduated from Northland Pines High School in 2007. He was an avid soccer and hockey player. He attended Nicolet College and worked as a merchandiser at Miller Beer of the North and Sasser.

Tommy enjoyed deer hunting. The highlight of his year was spending time in the deer stand with his dad. He also enjoyed video gaming with his friends, and channeled his boundless curiosity into creating digital content, which he loved sharing with friends and family.

Tommy is survived by his parents, Tom and Barb; his brother Charlie; his grandma Diana Anderson; his uncles Jeff Neddo (Vicki) and Scott Neddo (Silvana) ; his aunts Barb Brooker (John), Lori Gall (Dave), Debbie Neddo, Julie Neddo (Darwyn), and Jen Anderson-Richmond (Dennis); numerous cousins; his dog, Monte Cristo, and his friends Matt Cummings, Ben Graeber, Nick Friese, Paul Loeser, and others.

A private family service will be held.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) in Tommy's name. NMDP is a leader in cell therapy, helping save the lives of patients with blood cancers and disorders. Tommy survived leukemia thanks to a bone marrow transplant. The family extends their deepest gratitude for the outpouring of love and support.
