Timothy will forever be remembered fondly as the incredible Father, Husband, Son, Brother, Uncle, Cousin, Friend, and so much more, that he represented to all of us. Tim was always comfortable in learning new things, making new connections, and leaving an immediate and enduring impression on the people he met in doing so. He was fearless, never intimidated to try and take on something new, and considered himself a man of all seasons. Tim was a voracious reader, a student of the world, but also studied through the years at Mount Wachusett College, Timberlane Regional, and Concord Carlisle High School. Timothy had a passion for competitive sports, which ultimately led him to journalism and broadcasting. Tim was a commentator for Major League Lacrosse, a writer for MMA Latest, a head writer for LaxLand, and the founder and head writer of LaxDirt. Timothy found a calling in writing, and was also a published author. He focused his enthusiasm and knowledge of lacrosse working as a youth lacrosse coach for his son James' school; Hillside School in Marlborough, MA. Through his career ventures, as it was in his personal life, Tim had a lasting effect on people, creating a network of followers and supporters for his work. Tim will also be remembered for his constant efforts as an animal advocate, opening his home to multiple animals with his wife and children. The love that they had was too great to be narrowed to just a traditional family. Tim and Katie's latest animal children included three dogs in Dewey, Mila, and Cleo, as well as two sugar gliders in Pax and Shilo. As with any endeavor, Tim would put his heart and passion into the care for their animals, ensuring they had all the attention and love his family could provide. Regardless of how people came to know Tim, whether through work, personal relationships, or advocacy, he had a way of ingratiating himself and building an instant rapport. Timothy will be remembered for his undeniable charm, his piercing happy blue eyes, as well as his smile and laugh that could fill a room. Tim had a way of disarming people, making genuine connections in minutes, and an ability to instantly fall back into those relationships, even if it had been years since they had last been visited. Timothy always had a larger than life presence and an enormous heart. It was so evident through the amount of friends, colleagues, and family members that gravitated toward him. There was little that Tim would not do for his immediate and extended family; but also for the long standing and ever growing group of friends he considered family. It was not until Tim became a Father that he found what he was really put on this earth for. Just as it was not until he met Kate that he found what true love really is. The legacy that Tim has left behind will live on in the love that he shared with his Wife and children. His everlasting passion for his family will be honored and continue through his parents, siblings, and many extended family members. He will be remembered always for the camaraderie he offered to his friends, the soft ear he lent to the concerns of others, and the helping hand he was always so quick to offer. Timothy will leave an absence of charisma and passion that we are left only to fill with the loving memories and life lessons he imparted with us while he was here. He was the beloved soul mate of Katie Anne (Slattery) Thomas, devoted father of James and Leland Thomas of Westford and step-father of Kaija Shook of Westford, loving son of Mary-Jo Conlon and her husband Michael of Danville, NH, dear brother of Shannon E. Conlon and her daughter Charlë of Harvard, Brian J. Thomas and his wife Jessica of Nottingham, NH and Taylor E. Conlon of Danville, NH. He is also survived by Kate's loving parents, James and Jane Slattery of Fort Lauderdale, FL and Kate's brother Michael Slattery and his wife Andrea and their children Sierra and Sage of Sedalia, CO, as well as a large extended family and a loyal group of friends. A celebration of Tim's life will be held on Saturday September 24th at 2 pm at the Radisson Hotel and Suites, 10 Independence Drive, Chelmsford, MA. In lieu of flowers, contributions in his memory may be made to Timothy Thomas Memorial Fund at gofundme.com/2pxcrdhw Arrangements are under the care of the Dee Funeral Home of Concord.
