I met Thomas at out first Computer Science course at Bunker Hill. Together we went on to do research at Harvard and both transferred to Tufts at the same time. He was such a passionate human being. He had an infectious laugh and positive energy that will be sorely missed.

Wow! Awful! I am in shock. Thomas was a very bright and technically talented young man, who impressed us in outstanding ways on several occasions. His arrival was unexpected and impactful, as is this sudden loss.

Still cannot believe it. I spoke to you a day before you passed away. I pushed you to complete your degree and you had a great life ahead of you my friend. You will be missed at MatrixCare. I will think of you each time we run Order Imports as you put together the script to find the order errors, along with many other integrations. We will all miss you at MatrixCare!

We are so sad to hear this. Our thoughts and prayers are going out to Thomass parents and sister and entire family. Bother my husband and I work for MatrixCare and saw him often in the halls as we walked for a coffee or water. Thomas has a great smile and used it often! He will be missed. May God sustain you all during this very difficult time.

Still cannot believe it. I worked closely with Thomas on a project at MatrixCare and enjoyed the brilliant insights he brought to the challenges we faced. In fact, we are now using the process/methods/code that he developed with our team on other projects in the company! I personally enjoyed talking to him about his career and personal growth whenever I visited Minnesota. We will all miss him as our beloved colleague at Matrixcare!

I'm saddened at the loss of Thomas. He was a very smart and bright young man. Even though we didn't work in the same office I always enjoyed working with him remotely. He was very talented at what he did and was always eager to learn new things and help a person in need. So sad to see him leave this world so early. Your family will be in my family's thoughts and prayers.
