On April 7th, 2025, Tom Savovich, an amazing husband to Nikki and a devoted father to his three beautiful children—Ayla (14), Jakub (10), and Kimber (6)—tragically lost his life in a car accident. To his family, Tom was not just a husband and father; he was their hero, their greatest supporter, and the embodiment of love and strength.
Tom was an avid football lover and a dedicated coach, imparting not only skills but also life lessons to the young players he guided. His passion for the sport was matched only by the love he had for his family. He spent countless weekends cheering from the sidelines, celebrating victories, and comforting his children during defeats. The bond he shared with Ayla, Jakub, and Kimber was special—each one saw him as their pillar of support and inspiration.
The heartache of losing Tom is immeasurable, not only for Nikki and their children but for everyone who was fortunate enough to know him. His son, Jakub, who was also in the car during the accident, sustained injuries that will stay with him for a lifetime, both physically and emotionally. The struggle to process the loss of his father while healing will be a long and painful journey for him.
On Monday, April 7, 2025, a tragic multi-vehicle collision in Peoria, Arizona, claimed the life of 38-year-old Thomas Savovich from Surprise, Arizona. The accident occurred around 11:30 a.m. at the intersection of 107th Avenue and Rose Garden Lane.
According to the Peoria Police Department, the incident involved three vehicles: a white Hyundai Elantra, a blue BMW X3, and a silver Infiniti I35. The driver of the Hyundai was traveling westbound on Rose Garden Lane and failed to yield at a stop sign, colliding with the northbound BMW driven by Mr. Savovich. The impact caused the BMW to crash into the southbound Infiniti.
Emergency responders pronounced Mr. Savovich dead at the scene. A juvenile passenger in the BMW and the driver of the Infiniti sustained serious injuries and were transported to a local hospital. The driver of the Hyundai was treated for minor injuries. Authorities have ruled out impairment as a factor in the crash, and the Peoria Police Department’s Traffic Services Unit continues to investigate the incident.
