Tom ('Tom Tom") Sebastian age 65, left us peacefully on December 15, 2022.

Tom was born June 6, 1957 in Brandon, MB to Charlie and Evelyn Sebastian. Tom lived a full and colourful life. He worked as an engineer on the CP railroad until he retired at 54. Tom loved golfing, fishing, hunting and cruising around Surprise Lake in his boat. He was also known to drive around and keep an eye on Lappe happenings as the self-appointed mayor of the community. Tom loved spending time with his many friends.

He will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his girlfriend Shelley, sister Terrie

Doerksen (Rick), brother Ray Sebastian (Anne), nephew Derek Doerksen (Dahlami), niece Jana Doerksen, sister-in-law Lori Byerley, brother-in-law John Halka, nephews Jesse and Chase (Kensi) Halka. He is predeceased by his parents Charlie and Evelyn Sabastian.

Special thank you to the ICU and 2A staff at Thunder Bay Regional Hospital - your compassion is greatly appreciated.
