Charles Thomas "Tommy" Dockery, cherished husband, loving father, adored grandfather, and devoted friend, passed away peacefully in his sleep at his home on March 6, 2026, at the age of 64.

Tommy dedicated much of his working life to Monarch Hardware in Indianapolis, where he mastered the craft of locksmithing. He approached his work with diligence and integrity, always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. His commitment to his profession mirrored the values he held dear in his personal life.

Tommy was more than just a skilled craftsman; he was a man with a great sense of humor who brought joy to those around him. His love for his family was palpable, and he took immense pride in being a husband to Kimberly Dockery and a father to Crystal Moore and her husband Daniel of Louisville, as well as his two sons, Brett Wayne Thomas Dockery of Mount Washington and Bradley Charles Dockery and his fiancée Teresa, also of Mount Washington. He adored his grandchildren, Aliyah, Elijah, Benjamin, McKenzie, Dalton, Grace, Bella, and Annie, who brought immeasurable joy to his life and, in return, were showered with his unconditional love.

A passionate fan of Louisville Cardinal Basketball, Tommy could often be found cheering for his favorite team, sharing moments of camaraderie and excitement with his family and friends. His enthusiasm and energy were contagious, leaving an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

Tommy is survived by his beloved wife, children, siblings Phillip, Howard, Wendell, Steven, and Stephanie, as well as his cherished grandchildren and several loving pets. He is preceded in death by his parents, Charles Wendell and Betty Lou Dockery, whose legacy of love and kindness continues through Tommy's family.
