Tom Attwater grew up in Pattingham village. He is son to Sue and Tony Attwater, brother to Ruth, Amy and Jack Attwater, husband to Joely Attwater and father to Kelli and Fletcher Attwater.

Tom worked hard, played hard and loved fiercely. Becoming a father was Tom's most precious achievement and he dearly loved being a dad and a husband.

Tom's life was cruely cut short when he died from a gliobastoma brain tumour aged just 32, leaving behind his wife and children, who were just 6 years and 4 months old at the time, as well as his wider family and friends who loved him dearly.
