Born November 25, 1954, in Guelph, Ontario. Loving husband of Teresa (Shields) of 43 years. Devoted father of Nicole (Crystal), Derek (Lindsay), Amanda (Fil) Costa, and Chris (Dana). Proud Papa of Hannah, Makayla, Javen, Miss Brooke, Mateo, Hunter, and another grandchild on the way. Dear brother-in-law, uncle, great-uncle, and friend to many. Beloved son of the late Earl and Lois Shewell.
Tom will be remembered most for his great sense of humour, because when there was laughter, Tom was always the one behind it. Tom had a deep passion for fishing and found peace on the water, fishing with his family and friends. There was no place he’d rather be. Tom will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
A Celebration of Life Gathering will be held on Saturday, January 17, 2026 from 4-8pm at Cresmount Funeral Home, 322 Fennell Ave East, Hamilton. (905) 387-2111.
