Tommy Joe Osteen Sr., 78, of Clinton, Kentucky, passed away at Clinton Hickman County ICF on Saturday, August 9, 2025. Tommy was born on March 13, 1947, to the late Riley Osteen and Dorothy Warren. He was of the Baptist Faith.
Tommy spent his life on the open road as a dedicated truck driver. Outside of work, he was an avid fisherman and spent most of his time by the water. Tommy's love for the great outdoors extended to drag racing and rabbit hunting, things that gave him tremendous joy and excitement. Above all, Tommy was a man of the people. He loved to talk with anyone, whether they were friends or strangers. Tommy’s ability to make friends everywhere led to a lifelong friendship with the Amish community, and he loved to help them whenever possible.
