"DOC" Thomas Marino went home to be with the Lord unexpectedly at Advent Hospital Zephyrhills, Florida, on Sunday, July fourteenth,2024. Thomas was born in Little Falls, New York, to Isabel and Roy Marino on 02/09/1955. He graduated from high school at St. Johnsville Central School in 1973. He has multiple Master's degrees in Ministry and Christian education, multiple Bachelor's in Theology and Ministerial Studies, and a Doctorate in Theology from IEBC&S. He worked in Ministry for over forty years, planting churches, Victorious Life Church of RMI & Community Harvest Church Of Zephyrhills, raising up young ministers, in Mexico, the Philipines, India, Africa, and across the US. His home base has been out of Zephyrhills, Florida, for the past twenty years. He enjoyed rebuilding vintage toys and guitars found on "Trademark Classics." Including a Rickenbacker 325 aficionado's dream, a Custom Gibson SG '61, A gorgeous 'full-scale' 350 Beatlebacker, a custom Triple "670/12," and so many more; he loved to restore custom cars, including his current collection of 1976 F150,2015 Cuda Hemi cruiser and his recent purchase, a Dodge ram that his dad drove when he was a child and a 68 Charger. Doc devoted his life to serving others, including years of feeding the homeless in his hometown. Doc was a Godly man and a family man. He loved spending time with his wife, children, and grandchildren at the family timeshare at Disney World, walking downtown Disney, taking a boat ride, sitting on the bricks enjoying an Earl of sandwich with his wife, enjoying the light shows, and playing cards with his five grandchildren. He never missed an opportunity to be with his family. Doc is survived by his wife of forty-six years, MaryAnn of Zephyrhills, FL; children, Bryan Marino (Giovanni, Charlotte & Chan), Janel Hearn ( Matthew, Conner & Isabella), Courtney Robinson (Joseph and Kane) siblings, Clifford Marino. Burial will be Graveside in New York at a later date to be announced at the discretion of the family. His Love for his family and church families was always evident. His final Facebook post is one that we need to hear... "It's a war of Good versus evil..... and the spirit of anti-Christ has taken over the US Government, and other world governments..... Get RIGHT with the Lord..... accept Christ into your life and heart, repenting from sin, and be READY for what's coming upon the world." Thank you, Doc, for giving to the Lord; we are lives that were changed... until we see you again—well done, thy good and faithful servant.
