Tom Layton passed away surrounded by love, leaving behind a legacy of music, devotion, and unwavering enthusiasm for all things Washington sports. A loving husband, devoted father, and cherished friend, Tom lived life with rhythm, heart, and joy.

     Tom was deeply committed to his family. He shared a loving marriage with his wife, Georgianna, and took immense pride in his children, Brett and Chelsea, and his favorite puppy, Peaches. His warmth, humor, and steady presence were a constant source of comfort and strength to those closest to him.

     Tom is survived by his beloved wife, Georgianna (69); his son, Brett (38); and his daughter, Chelsea (35). He will be remembered for his love of family, his infectious enthusiasm, his musical and artistic talent, and the joy he brought into every room.

     His rhythm lives on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. A celebration of life will be held on Friday, January 9, 2026 from 5:30-8:00 PM at Crystal City Sports Pub in Arlington, Virginia. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you make donations to the Cancer Research Foundation in memory of Tom.
