This site is a tribute to our wonderful and unique son Thom, who was born on August 25, 1998. He died suddenly aged just 19 years old. Thom was a loving, caring individual who touched the hearts of many and will be remembered by all.

Thom was found unresponsive at our home on Friday 6th April and we had the desperately difficult task on Sunday 8th April of turning his life support off. This was also a time when we agreed for Thoms wishes to be carried out and his organs be donated for transplant to help others in greater need than himself. This typified Thoms spirit and nature of always putting the wants and needs of others before himself. Way ahead of his years in many ways he was a true Gent who had time for everyone ahead of himself, this included not just his friends but their parents and also grand parents. This trait also extended past family and friends and Thom would often be seen giving his time to complete strangers who happen to be sitting alone in a doorway or otherwise down on their luck. 

An inquisitive mind he sought answers about life and our purpose and if he could have changed the world he would have done so and had plans in place to take a three month break in Nepal next year to live in a Buddhist monastery teaching orphaned Nepalese children to speak English purely to give them a better chance in future life.

I may be a little bias in my opinion but I could not have asked for anyone better to call my son, he made me proud for the amazing young man he became and has left a huge void in our lives, but he will always remain in our thoughts and our hearts.
