He was just 33 years old when he died and leaves behind two children and his doting wife Kelsey.
Michelle shared a sweet message for his heartbroken spouse: “Absolutely heartbroken for Kelsey, his beautiful babies, family and everyone who knew Tom. What a truly special guy.”
She continued: “Such an honour to have known him and witness first hand their love, they really are the true definition of soul mates. Gone far too soon, rest peacefully Tom.”
