Layton "Tom" Bond

Layton Thomas (Tom) Bond of Midland Heights, Midland, PA, died Thursday, July 10, 2025, at UPMC Shadyside in Pittsburgh after a brief illness.

He was born April 2, 1945 in East Liverpool, Ohio, a son of the late Layton C. and Eleanor Dawson Bond. Throughout his life, Tom resided in the Midland and Ohioville areas.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his infant sister, Rebecca.

Tom was a member of the first graduating class of Western Beaver High School in 1963. Tom ran Rice’s Store in Ohioville for many years, did tax preparation, worked as a bookkeeper for Modany Brothers of Midland Heights, was a product representative for Walmart, was a clerk for the Beaver Area Memorial Library, and, most recently, the Carnegie Free Library of Midland—serving on the Friends of the Library committees of both.

Tom was a devoted Christian and an ordained chaplain, frequently visiting hospitals and conducting funerals. Tom never met a stranger, and his friendship, kindness, and generous nature will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

Friends will be received during a memorial visitation Sunday, July 20, 2025, from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. at the Carnegie Free Library, 61 9th St., Midland.
