Thomas K. Mafika, 46, of Haverhill, MA, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, January 26, 2025, at his home.
Born in Chivhu, Zimbabwe, he is the son of Friday Kaseke and Stembiso Mafika.
Thomas was a kind, gentle and genuine soul, everyone who came across Thomas can attest to this. He was always willing to help those that he loved and cared for, always available going out of his way to find a way, to be of help, when needed. A great example of this is the relationships that he had with his family, friends and work mates. From his professional work and relationships he gained everyone's respect through his character and hard work ethics. Outside of work he enjoyed socializing with friends and family, watching football and playing KENO!
Thomas will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered by his guardian aunt mother, Gorgeous Mafika of Chivhu, Zimbabwe, his beloved sons, Demario Scarpegnato and Nathan Mafika of Haverhill and Marcus Mafika of Florida, his siblings, Demmol Kaseke of Canada, Nyasha Kaseke of South Africa, Joseph Changara and his wife, Alisha of Haverhill, Kevin Ndebele and his wife, Brittanny of Haverhill, best friend, Jennifer Richards of Haverhill, and her two children, Marissa and Joshua Rivera, aunt, Hanna Ndakaziva of Haverhill, uncle, Daniel Mafika of Zimbabwe, aunt, Nomhle Zendere of Zimbabwe, aunt, Daphne Mafika of Zimbabwe and all his nieces and nephews

T was a friend for life. He was a remarkable soul. We laughed, we cried, we sang, we shared. I will always cherish the time we had together. His grin or smile could change your day. I will miss you my brother.
