of Dracut, MA; formerly of Lowell; 65
DRACUT -- Thomas A. Carrigg, 65, of Dracut, MA, passed away suddenly in his home Sunday, April 2, 2017.
Tom was born and raised in Lowell, son of the late Augustine Carrigg and Esther D Allen (Carrigg). Tom was predeceased by his first son Padraic.
Tom is survived by his two beloved sons Kearny Carrigg of Northborough (and wife Shannon) and Tom Carrigg of Natick; along with his cherished grandson Michael; Tom is also survived by his three sisters; Patricia (Carrigg) Barron of North Tewksbury, Nancy Carrigg (Niejadlik) of Centerville, MA, and Kathleen Carrigg of Westminster, CO along with many nieces and nephews.
He attended Sacred Heart elementary, graduated Lowell High School class of 1969, and later earned a Bachelor of Arts with honors from U-Mass Lowell as a member of the international sociology honor society.
Tom explored many careers including years worked at the Bedford VA hospital and, more recently, Assistant director and Residence Manager for adults with disabilities at Till Inc.
He had a passion for expanding his knowledge and a love of literature.
Tom loved his Boston sports teams, particularly the New England Patriots. Whether it was football season or not he was sure to update you on the status of "our team".

To my dearest and closest friend Nancy and family I am so very sorry for the loss of your brother. My heart is hurting for you as you go through this very sad time. Though Tom and I only met a couple of times I pray for peace and comfort as you grieve his loss. May he R.I.P. I know and believe your mom has welcomed him home with open arms. Now they will both be smiling down on you and helping you on your journey down here. Until you meet again may God console you and your loved ones. I love you dear friend always and forever.

Our heartfelt condolences to you, Nancy, Tom, and Brad, for the loss of your brother, brother in law, and uncle. I never met him, but the glint in his eyes in this photo tells me just who he was. May the good times you had with him in times past comfort you now.
Love, Diane and John

I am so sorry for your loss. I am sadden to see such a great person be taken so soon in life. I had remember Tom from O'Donnells Park many years ago. We had played so many basketball games together I forget how many we played. Tom was such a quiet guy, but a fun loving man. He HAD a HEART of Gold, and would do anything for you. After a few rounds of basketball, we would always go to George's Deli for a large topedo, and a coke to wash it down.
Sometimes we would also sit, and play card all day, weather it be gin rummy, 45's or poker.
Tom, you are a Great Person, and Will Always Be One.
God Bless You. To All of The Carrigg, God Bless You.
My Prayers Are With You.
