Thomas David Dolby

Thomas David Dolby, 64, passed away peacefully on July 5, 2026 at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., from complications of sepsis and anemia following his recent diagnosis of Hodgkin lymphoma.

Tom was raised in South St. Paul and dedicated his life to the game of golf. A PGA Professional, he competed in three PGA Championships, but his greatest accomplishment was mentoring junior golfers and making a lasting impact on everyone he met.

Tom met the love of his life, Kalynn, while working at Timber Ridge Golf Club. He was known for his selfless heart, kind spirit, and unwavering gratitude. Even in his final weeks, he continued to thank those caring for him and often spoke about finding joy and happiness.

Tom also enjoyed pheasant and deer hunting with friends and spending time with his faithful dog, Digger.

Tom is survived by his beloved wife, Kalynn; his sister, Cindy Nollette; his brothers, Michael (Toni) Dolby and Jeffrey (Paula) Dolby; his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Jim and Nancy Jensen; his brother-in-law, Garrett (Laura) Jensen; many cherished nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Bruce and Gloria Dolby, and his sister, Debra Dolby.

We will celebrate Tom’s life with One Last Round at Southview Country Club in West St. Paul, Minn. on July 12, 2026 from 2 to 5 p.m. with a program at 3 p.m. and food following.
