Honoring Thomas William Aldridge & Supporting his family through this difficult time

My name is Rhaya Meza and I've created this fundraiser on behalf of my family.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Thomas William Aldridge, who was born on April 11th, 1964, and passed away on February 7th, 2025, at the age of 60. Tom was a loving father, grandfather, and friend who touched the lives of many with his spirit, love of the natural world, and ability to entertain anyone with a good tale around a roaring campfire.

As we come together to honor his memory, our family is facing the overwhelming costs associated with the loss of a loved one. The emotional and financial burdens have been immense, and we are reaching out for support during this incredibly difficult time.

The funds raised will go directly to Thomas and Terri’s children - Jordan Aldridge, Rene Meza, and Thomas Aldridge - to help cover memorial costs, cremation services, and travel expenses.

Any amount you can contribute would mean the world to our family as we navigate this painful chapter. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would be just as appreciated. We are deeply grateful for any kindness and support you can offer.

Thank you for keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers.

With gratitude,

The family of Thomas Aldridge
