Tom

Tom-Louis Easton was born in Tottenham, North London on 25 September 1983. He was a talented musician, with a big warm heart and a dream: he wanted to succeed (like many other musicians), but he also wanted others to share his love of music and help them develop their own talent and potential. His music was a means to give to others and Tom gave with his whole heart.

Take a look at Tom’s MySpace site, which is still online. You can listen to some of the tracks he wrote and performed, and read the comments of his many friends after they learned of his death.

Alternatively, you can listen to "Como Quisiera" here, sung by Rosie, his special sister.

Tom was buried on 25 September 2006, which would have been his 23rd birthday. A granite boulder was collected from the Alps where his family take their holidays and a short inscription was carved by an artist. The headstone was fixed on 25 September 2008, where Tom's mother read her poem:

"Colours (of Tom)"

BLUE - were your eyes, as deep as the deepest sea

CORN YELLOW - your silky-soft hair

ROSY PINK - was your baby skin

GREEN - was the colour of your hopes when you played your music

RED - SO MUCH BLOOD!

GOLD - is my wedding ring I put on your finger, when I said goodbye for the last time...

PURPLE - is the anger I still carry with me...

BLACK - I shall never wear when mourning you

WHITE - is the light I see when I know you're smiling

A SHINING LIGHT, WITH ME, FOREVER...
