Thomas Blaine Startin Obituary
We are sad to announce that on November 8, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Thomas Blaine Startin of Missoula, Montana. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Thomas Blaine Startin to show support.
He was predeceased by: his grandparents, Dorothy and Tom Tabish; his parents, Roberta "Bobbie" Anderson (Hayes) and Blaine K Startin; and his brothers, Kevin, Scotty Anderson and Blaine Startin Jr..
He is survived by: his wife Alexandra "Zandy" K. Startin (Shafizadeh); his children, Taylor B. Startin and Sam A. Wolf (Startin); his grandchildren, Emerson, Zoey and Nolan; and his sisters, Kimberly A. Anderson of Albuquerque, NM and Trudi Eastlick (Startin) of Billings, MT..
A funeral service will be held on Tuesday, November 25th 2025 at 11:00 AM at the St Francis Xavier Church (420 W Pine St, Missoula, MT 59802).
In spite of suffering from a traumatic brain injury caused by a motor vehicle accident in 2001, in 2017 he began volunteering at Bright Hope, an orphanage school in Uganda where he had a huge impact, and encouraged Zandy to help him form the "Startin Rise and Shine Education Foundation," which enabled them to donate and help raise funds to finish building and financially support Craig Infant and Junior School in Uganda.
