A talented, kind and brave young man with a great sense of humour, he never gave up and showed us all what true courage looks like. He will be sorely missed and never forgotten.

No flowers please. A koha can be made to either Faith Family Community where Tom gained confidence from the MMA training they provided (email
[email protected] for bank details), or to the SPCA (visit
spca.nz), because Tom loved animals. Messages to the May family c/- Sibuns Funeral Directors, PO Box 87233, Meadowbank, Auckland 1742.
