He is also survived by his mother Jeanette Martin and siblings Dennis (Bonnie McClelland), Colleen Cederholm (Glyn Yuhas), Michael (Treicia Sutherland) and Gloria Couture (Phil). He was pre deceased by his father, Yvon Martin in 2000. He will be remembered and missed by the large circle of friends and family he has spent time with over the years.

Thomas was loved by everyone who met him, eager to extend a helping hand to those in need. He will be remembered for his wonderful smile, great sense of humour and gentle spirit.
