We created a GatheringUs memorial to celebrate the life of Thomas Jon Abramson. Collecting your stories and memories here will offer us great comfort. As we plan virtual gatherings, we will post invites. Thank you for contributing to this lasting memorial.

Tom was a funny, loving, inspirational, gifted, smart, handsome, and loyal man. He cared so much for the world and put all of himself into whatever project he worked on. Before his passing, he imagined his passion project: a nonprofit to help families and individuals impacted by mental illness. He spent day and night thinking of exactly how this organization would work, what he could do to make a positive lasting impact on millions of lives, how to give hope to the hopeless. I plan on making this dream of his come true by continuing his work and establishing the nonprofit. I will work with the same passion and care, and I will radiate the love he gave me so all can feel it. I send my love to Tom’s mother, children, siblings, and friends throughout the world.
We are all still in a state of disbelief. Tom was an angel that sat next to me and my daughter two years ago at Shutters on the beach. We always kept in touch and he was always there for me and my daughter, Taylor. He will be forever missed.🙏🏻❤️
