Thomaso “Tom” Skorupski, 56, of Florham Park, NJ, passed away on August 14, 2025, due to chronic respiratory distress. Born on November 2, 1968, in Ponce, Puerto Rico, Tom’s journey was filled with milestones that reflected both his dedication to healing and his love for music.
Tommy was known for his kindness, sense of humor, compassion, and passionate, soulful spirit. Earning his medical and pharmacology degrees, he devoted his career to helping others as an addiction psychiatrist and pain management doctor, offering care touched with genuine warmth and empathy. A gifted musician, Tom found joy in playing drums with friends in hardcore bands around the world, believing deeply in music’s power to connect and heal.
Tom was the beloved husband of Monica Rodriguez, and a cherished stepfather to his daughters. He will be forever missed by his brother, Charles Skorupski, and all who were fortunate enough to know him.
Tom was resilient throughout his life—always meeting challenges with a smile, bringing light and laughter to those around him. He will always be remembered for his wonderful warmth, his ever-present smile, and his huge capacity to love. His absence will be felt always.
May his soul rest peacefully, surrounded by the rhythm he so loved.
A memorial visitation will be held at the Leonardis Memorial Home, 210 Ridgedale Avenue, Florham Park on Saturday, November 8th, from 1-4pm.
