These siblings know how to keep it real, and they took to Instagram to celebrate Tom in a way that truly reflects the Osmond family spirit. Donny, at 62, and Marie, at 61, couldn’t help but marvel at their brother's strength as they navigated his health challenges with grace and optimism.
Donny posted a heartfelt message alongside a nostalgic photo of himself and Tom. "Happy birthday to my dear brother Tom!" he exclaimed.

Tom's Journey Through Health Challenges
But let’s rewind a bit. Tom, who was born deaf, has faced some tough health battles over the years. Back in July 2018, Donny and Marie asked their fans to send prayers Tom's way after he underwent a quadruple bypass surgery. This is no small feat—it’s a procedure where doctors take blood vessels from another part of the body to bypass blocked arteries. Talk about a marathon of strength!
Fortunately, the news soon turned positive. Just days later, Donny updated everyone, saying, "I’m very happy to report that his spirits are high, and the doctors assured me that his condition is improving." The former postal worker was even up and walking, which is a testament to his determination. "I’m looking forward to giving my brother a big hug the day after tomorrow," Donny added, and you can almost hear the relief and joy in his voice.
The Osmond Family Legacy
Tom is just one of the many incredible siblings in the Osmond family. There’s Virl Osmond, 75, Alan Osmond, 71, Wayne Osmond, 69, Merrill Osmond, 67, Jay Osmond, 65, and Jimmy Osmond, 57. While Donny and Marie share a close bond with all their siblings, Tom holds a special place in their hearts. He’s the one who knows exactly how to comfort others, bringing warmth with his big smile and tender hugs.
Marie once described Tom on Instagram, saying, "Tom is so full of life and love! He just has a way of warming hearts with his big smile and tender hugs." She continued, "He has such great love for all people, including strangers. His heart is so tender that at times, I swear, it even breaks when he sees others struggling. I love him for that!" It’s clear that Tom’s life experiences have given him a unique perspective and compassion that touches everyone he meets.
As we celebrate Tom’s 73rd birthday, we’re sending him wishes for another year filled with health, happiness, and all the love he so generously gives to others. Here’s to Tom Osmond, the embodiment of resilience and love in action!
