Thomas Ballingall Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Lambie Funeral Home - Philadelphia on May 15, 2023.
Thomas Ballingall, born on October 26, 1958, in Philadelphia, PA, was a vibrant, spirited individual who lived his life to the fullest. Known as Tom to his friends and family, he was a man of many interests who enjoyed reading, riding his Harley, researching the history of his family name, and creating beautiful war bonnets. Throughout his life, Tom's curiosity and zest for adventure led him to take part in exciting activities like skydiving and completing various motorcycle challenges, such as the Iron Butt Challenge, Saddle Sore, and Great Lakes Challenge.
Tom was known for his mechanical skills, working at Septa as a maintenance mechanic. His dedication to his work was evident in his commitment to keeping the city's transportation running smoothly. Tom was also a member of the Brotherhood of Old Bikers, a group that shared his love for the open road and the camaraderie of fellow motorcycle enthusiasts. In addition to his professional life, he was an ordained Universal Clergyman, a role that reflected his spiritual nature and desire to help others.
Tom will be deeply missed by his family, including his daughter Susan Ballingall, son Adam Ballingall, son Thomas Ballingall, granddaughter Kaila Miraski, grandson Kristopher Ballingall, granddaughter Chase Ballingall, and grandson Oscar Maxwell. As we celebrate his life and remember the unique qualities that made Tom who he was, we invite you to share your memories and upload photos to the memorial page. Let us cherish the moments he shared with us, and keep his spirit alive in our hearts.
