Thomas, age 73, passed away at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops on October 17, 2022. Tom was born and raised in Kamloops and graduated from Kamloops Senior Secondary School. Tom worked at several liquor stores around Kamloops and was happy assisting customers find that special bottle of wine for that special occasion.
Tom was a respected member of the Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band.
The simplest things pleased Tom, he could be seen walking up to catch a photo of the morning sunrise, riding his bike around town from Tranquille, to out past Campbell Creek. Tom could be found at his thoughtful spots reading and enjoying a beverage. Occasionally a shrill whistle from Tom would catch your ear, to have a quick chat to catch up with family and friends. There will be an open mic, come prepared to share your Tom stories.
Sundays were spent hiking the outdoors around Kamloops with friends and enjoying a nice picnic.
Tom is survived by sister Charlene and brothers Keith (Irene), Lee Roy, Ernest (Beverly), Tony (Kathy), nieces Robyn and Hannah (grandniece Mia) nephews Jordie and Kori and predeceased by mother Patricia Elizabeth Yow (nee Andrew); father Mah Bing Yow; brother Richard and half-brother Wally Williams.
Life long loyal friends, Jim Fulton and Bob Cunningham.
