Thomas Joseph Alber
November 17, 1969 — January 8, 2014
Thomas Joseph Alber, 44, of Topeka, died January 8th, 2014 in an auto accident.
He was born November 17, 1969 in Topeka to Karl E. and Mary A. Alber. He attended schools in Hanover and Delia Grade and graduated from Delia Grade School. He attended Rossville High School and Highland Park High School and obtained his GED in 1987.
His working career was very diverse. Very good with mechanics and electronics, he worked in a wide variety of construction and machinery jobs. He especially liked his years in the band "No Parking" as sound board technician.
Most recently, he was employed by Standard Beverage in Lawrence as a re-packer.
Tom loved fishing, camping, cooking on his barbecue smoker and the Kansas City Chiefs. Most of all, he loved spending time with his daughter and staying in touch with everyone in his large family. He was an excellent father and a wonderful son, grandson, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend.
He is survived by his daughters, Alexis Sinclair, Independence, MO and Jasmine Caroline Alber of Overland Park, KS, special friend and mother of Jasmine, Gina McKenzie. He is also survived by his parents Karl and Mary Alber, Topeka, grandmother Gwen Ryan, Topeka, sister, Karla Bearse, brother-in-law George Bearse, nephews Patrick and Zachary Bearse, brother, Victor Alber, sister-in-law Stephanie Alber, all of Colorado Springs, Colorado. He is also survived by step siblings Vicki Spinner, Joey Spinner, Danielle Bondurant and David Culp all of Jefferson City, Missouri, and Mary Studna and Tammy McCombs, Kansas City. Also left to mourn his memory is a special friend Holly Logan, Topeka, and special cousin Kim White, Meridan. He will be remembered also by many uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews, and many, many friends. He is preceded in death by paternal grandparents Edward and Rose Alber and maternal grandfather, Henry Ryan.
Memorial services will be held at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, January 12, 2014 at Penwell-Gabel Southeast Chapel, 29th and Minnesota Ave. Our Tom, with his sweet and fun-loving personality, will be immensely missed by all of us.
