Tom's love for family was immeasurable especially when it came to his little nieces and nephews.

Shantel held the key to Tom's heart and he could never say "no" to her. Tom was a true girl dad.
Those that knew Tom, spoke volume of his hospitality and charitable lifestyle. He never carried himself with anger but always showed love for those around him. Although many battles came his way,
Tom always fought his way through, persevering through life on his own terms. Tom leaves behind to mourn his beautiful daughter Shantel Tamba, his Mother, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, aunties, uncles and friends.
