Thomas D. Pike

A life-long resident of Orleans, he was born at Cape Cod Hospital on July 9, 1994. He attended the Orleans Elementary School and Nauset Regional Middle School. At the time of his death he was a student at Cape Cod Regional Technical High School's shop of Information Technology.

Thomas was a sensitive, kind and loyal friend; swift to forgive and slow to judge.
