Obituary of Tom Wilkie

Thomas Isaac Aaron Wilkie, a 27 year young resident of Ridgetown, passed away tragically on Monday, September 4th, 2023.

Tom was born in Penticton, British Columbia; son of Ursula Fehr and Matthew Wilkie. Thomas graduated from Ridgetown District High School and went on to pursue a career in Welding, becoming a skilled welder over the years. Tom began his welding career at Cross Country Manufacturing in Blenheim, ON. He had many jobs in between, eventually landing the position he was meant for, at JDO Millwright Services in Blenheim, ON.

Everything changed for Thomas on February 28th, 2022 when he introduced a beautiful baby girl to the world. Navannah Lynn Lauszus Wilkie was Thomas' pride and joy. There was nothing in this world he loved more than her. She changed his life for the better making him the happiest father a father could be. Thomas loved bringing Navannah with him, to visit with his friends and their newly started families, creating beautiful and unforgettable memories together. Thomas's legacy will carry on through his daughter every time she smiles and laughs.

Tom will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Those closest to his heart, vow never to forget him, Kristen Bonner, his proud brother Taylor Wilkie and his mother Ursula and Step-Father John Anderson.

Our family is sure he's burning rubber up there, and we'll raise a "Tea" when we see him again. 'Til then, we love you dearly, Tom.

"Meet me at heavens gate, when my time is through, until you whisper my name, my heart will ache for you."
 

Visitation will be held at McKinlay Funeral Homes Ridgetown Chapel on Sunday October 29th, 2023 from 1:00p.m. to 4:00p.m.
