Thomas Jon Diddio passed away on Jan. 8, 2020, in Morenci, at the age of 38. He was born Jan. 15, 1981, in Hackensack, New Jersey to Frank Anthony and Judith Doppio Diddio, with siblings Laurie, Michael, and his step-siblings Debra, and Michael.
Thomas attended schools in Deming, New Mexico and married his one true love, Alison Rodriguez, in Duncan, on Nov. 3, 2006. The couple settled in Duncan, where he began working as a semi-truck driver. He truly loved to drive his semi. They were soon blessed with a son, Michael Ryan.
One of his favorite sayings was from Lane Frost, “Don’t be afraid to go after what you want to do, and what you want to be, but don’t be afraid to be willing to pay the price.” If you asked him how he was he would always say “just peachy”.
Thomas is survived by his loving wife, Alison, and his son, Michael. He is also survived by his parents, Diane Diddio, Daniel and Alice Rodriguez; his siblings, Laurie (Joel), Debra (Ronnie), Michael, Danielle (Daniel), and Daniel (Kaylee); his nephews, Casper, Matthew, Manuel, Jeremiah, Nathan, Liam, and Noah; his nieces, Brianna, Katelin, and Dusty Rose, and his pets, Bella, and Molly.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Judy Diddio, and Michale Diddio, and his Grandparents, the Diddios and the Doppios.
