Thomas "TJ" William Couture Jr., 39, of Attleboro, MA passed away on Monday, July 13, 2020 at the HopeHealth Hulitar Hospice Center in Providence, RI following a long illness.
Born in Attleboro, MA on December 27, 1980, he was a son of Thomas W. Couture, Sr. of South Attleboro and the late Pamela "Pam" Sue (Welch) Boulay, and was the stepson of Gerald Frederick Boulay, Sr. of Attleboro.
A resident of Attleboro for most of his life, he attended Attleboro City schools and was a 1999 graduate of Attleboro High School.
He was employed by Best Buy at various locations as a master audio installer for the past 17 years.
More than anything in his life, he loved the time spent with family and friends creating memories to cherish.
He was a self-proclaimed "grease monkey" having enjoyed working on automobiles. He treasured the time spent riding his ATV, trips to the water - the Manchester Reservoir in particular, listening to music, and the company of his beloved dogs.
"TJ" enjoyed seeing a cardinal and the spirit of a lost loved one that it represented.
In addition to his father and stepfather, he leaves his siblings: Nicole A. Couture of Attleboro; Debra L. Calkins and her husband, Joshua J. Calkins, of East Granby, CT; Jason A. Couture of Attleboro and David Couture of Washington, DC. He also leaves several step-siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family members and good friends.
