Thomas DeNucce

Thomas DeNucce, age 75 of Littleton, MA, passed away Thursday, July 24, 2025.

Born on April 15, 1950, Thomas was the beloved son of Concetta and Anthony DeNucce. He graduated from Malden High School in 1968 and went on to own and operate DeNucce’s Butcher Block in Milford, New Hampshire—a business he took great pride in. There, he carved his own path. Known not only for his skill but also for his endearing eccentricity, Thomas had a charming way of making people feel part of something bigger.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his brothers—Paul, John, and David. Thomas is survived by his niece, Rhonda Gallagher, and her husband, John Gallagher; his niece, Kristine DeNucce-Simms, and her husband, Tyrone Simms; and his nephews, David A. DeNucce and his wife, Devon DeNucce, and Anthony DeNucce and his partner, Liz Patridge. He is also remembered fondly by extended family and friends who knew him for his unique wisdom, booming sense of humor, and unwavering authenticity. He had no interest in pretending or performing for others—he was too busy being real. 

Thomas had an earthy, joyful way of living—he liked to eat well, live fully, and meet life on his own terms. 

Family and friends will gather to honor and remember Thomas during calling hours on Friday, August 8, 2025, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at Badger Funeral Home, 347 King Street, Littleton, MA.
