PADMORE, Thomas (Tom)

PADMORE, Thomas (Tom)

It is with heavy and aching hearts we announce the sudden passing of Thomas (Tom) Padmore on July 15, 2017. His indescribable passion for the outdoors has taken his precious life way too soon.
Our beloved son, brother, uncle and friend left us while living his passion, climbing Mt. Sir Donald, reaching heights most of us only see in pictures.
With his incredible thirst for adventuring, Starbucks and outdoing himself at every turn, Thomas accomplished more in his 30 years than most would in a lifetime.
An electrician by trade, Thomas was a dedicated employee, leader and expert light bulb changer.
With a heart bigger than the mountains he climbed, Thomas will be forever missed by all who knew him.
Thomas (Tom) is survived by his loving family, his parents and stepfather; sisters Amanda (Burton), Nicole (Ryan) and Cindy (Darrin); Brother Mike (Connie); nieces, nephews and grandparents.
To celebrate his life, join us at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Rd, Kelowna at 1pm on July 28, 2017.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Climbers

    Tom was our electrician on our Lake home build, he was a pleasure to have around always smiling, you could tell he enjoyed his work and helping people. We are so sorry for your loss. The world is minus one great guy and heaven is plus one.

    Carol and Glenn, even though we had never met your son Tom, John and I were so sad to hear this tragic news. As your new neighbours we had looked forward to getting to know him as you had spoken so highly of him. We can't even begin to imagine what you must be going through, but know that we are just two doors down and will help in anyway we can. We will be in touch, but wanted you to know we are thinking of you and praying that you will find some comfort in the tough days ahead.

    Tom was our electrician in the building of our new home. My heart broke when I heard the news - you're right, he had a huge heart and a ready smile. He had just shared with me pictures of one of his most recent climbs where he had a laugh over those who had snowshoes on and himself, without, that had to trudge a bit at the beginning but reached goal first :) I can't imagine the loss your feeling. He's in my prayers daily. Debbie and Mike Cloutier
