On Christmas Day, our family experienced an unexpected and devastating loss. Tom Gannon passed away suddenly due to diabetic shock. He was predeceased by his wife, Elaine, and while our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing they are reunited once again. Tom leaves behind his stepchildren Kyle Richards and his wife Natalie, grandchildren Theodore and Vivienne; Cody Butler and his wife Mary, and their son Bryce; Ashley Butler and her fiancé Johnny Brock, and their daughter Melina, along with many friends and loved ones who cared deeply for him.

Tommy was a one-of-a-kind soul. He was an avid golfer and snowboarder, someone who appreciated good food, great coffee, and meaningful conversation. Above all else, he loved his family and was incredibly proud to be a grandfather. He cherished time with his grandchildren and spoke of them often. He was also a pioneer in marijuana cultivation, a path he approached with curiosity, care, and pride. Tommy lived life on his own terms and brought warmth, humor, and authenticity to everyone he met.

We are raising funds to help cover end-of-life expenses, including cremation and a celebration of life to honor Tommy’s memory. Any contribution, no matter the size, means more than words can express. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page is equally appreciated. Thank you for your kindness, support, and for helping us honor Tommy’s life.
