From his previous marriage he leaves his children Cindy, Lorena, Scott as well as his sister Shirley Lueck. As well as many great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Thomas was born on March 29th, 1933, in Hardieville AB. He grew up on small acreage near Lethbridge. He with his family moved to Fillmore in 1950, where he then finished grade 12. In 1995 Tom and Karen met, and he gained stepdaughter Deanna then he and Karen had Son Dylan and adopted Angel and Brett. They continued with the 4H, sports and community events. Tom was an avid ball player and curler; he played ball with the Fillmore Rockets for 53 years! He spent countless hours coaching and watching all his kids, grandkids and great grandkids play sports too.
Teg spent his whole life raising, showing and fitting cattle, as well as serving on various breed associations and producer groups. Tom owned many cows in his day, but his favourite were Herefords and Charolais. He passed his love of cows down to his kids, who all showed in 4H and CCYA shows across Canada. He was also an exhibitor in Agribition for 51 years and loved every year more than the last. Teg and Scott were the original Charolais breeders in the family. They operated under the name of “Clipper Cattle Company’.
In recent years, Tom couldn’t be out with the cattle, but he enjoyed touring the pastures in the truck, attending cattle sales in Candiac whenever he had the chance and enjoyed visits with his family while doing so.
A graveside service will be held on September 26th, 2026, at the Fillmore Cemetery at 3:00pm, everyone welcome. Please bring a chair if you so require. A celebration of Tom’s life will be held at the farm North of Fillmore following the service.
