Thorsten Yocom Obituary (1966 - 2023)

Thorsten Clarence Yocom, beloved husband, father, brother, son, uncle, son-in-law, friend and colleague, passed away at his home in South Riding, Virginia, on July 4th, 2023. Born and raised in Princeton, New Jersey, he graduated from American University in 1988, and later George Washington University, where he achieved his law degree in 1994. Soon after, Thorsten began his career in technology. For over 21 years, Thorsten worked at CACI International, where he was a Senior Systems Analyst and Software Developer. Thorsten will be remembered as a man of great intellect, with an innate curiosity that fueled his love for lifelong learning. He was known for his kindness, intellect, and deep commitment to his family and work. Whenever asked, he was always happy to lend a helping hand. Thor was happily married for 25 years and enjoyed traveling, reading, history, fencing, playing piano, and watching classic movies in the good company of his family and friends. Thor is survived by his wife Alexandra, his son Niel, and his mother-in-law Beatriz, son-in law Fernando, nephews David and Christian, sister-in-law Patricia. His absence will be felt deeply by all who knew and loved him. We will forever hold him in our hearts and remember that he was an excellent human being, reliable, fair, hard-working, honorable and all the good qualities of our heroes that we look up as a role model of exemplary life. Now Thor's soul joins our Heavenly Father and is one more angel to join his father Dr. Perry Niel Yocom (R.I.P), his mother Kirsten D. Yocom (R.I.P) and his brother Peter B.
