A Celebration of Life Picnic for Thomas E. McDowall, 81, will be held Saturday, August 4 at 12:00p.m. at the pavilion at the Antler's Plaza Park in downtown Colorado Springs. Tom departed this worldly life July 18, 2012 while living in Butte, Montana.

Born February 10, 1931, Tom leaves his daughter, Kathryn and her husband Bruce, son Michael and his wife Susan and son Craig and his wife Cathy, brother Jim McDowall and his wife Ruth, and sister Shirley Hall and her husband Rich and five grandchildren; Jonathan, Brandon, Matthew, Audrey, and Andrew. He is also survived by numerous in-laws, nieces and nephews in his extended family. Tom leaves behind many friends in Colorado and in Butte. He was preceded in death by his wife, Dena, parents, Dave and Elva, sister Helen Williams, and brothers Clyde and David.
