KEAL, Thomas Lloyd. 11 January 1985 - 23 November 2025. With great sadness, we share the passing of Thomas, who rode off with the sunset on Sunday night, peacefully and surrounded by love. True to his spirit, he chose his moment at the time of day he cherished most. After a recent diagnosis of advanced cancer, he lived life fully and fought back with trademark determination. He felt deeply grateful for the love, support, and friendships that carried him - especially in recent weeks. He passed comforted by those who loved him. Thomas will be forever treasured as a cherished son of Denis and Lis and a beloved brother to Tammy, Amy, and Sarah. To his family and friends, the memories of his adventures are enough to last a lifetime. Please honour Thomas's memory by sharing stories, smiling, and embracing life to the fullest. His spirit now sets off on a new adventure. We invite you to join us to celebrate Thomas's life at the Chapel of Faith in the Oaks. Waikumete Cemetery. Friday November 28th commencing at 12pm. All communications to Hibiscus Funerals.
