Thomas Gregory Doerr passed away in Vancouver on July 3, leaving a huge hole in the heart of all that he had touched in his short time here. The outpouring of kind words and affection since that tragic day are a testament to his gentle spirit, zest for life, and charm. He will be mourned by many, perhaps most of all by his parents Sherry and Harvey Doerr, his brother Robert and partner Lindsey, and his love Berenice with whom he was excitedly expecting a child early next year. Also keenly feeling the loss are his extended family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, his birth mother Michelle and her family.

A formal service will be held at McInnis and Holloway’s Chapel of the Bells in Calgary on July 21 at 2 p.m. The family will also host a drop-in social at the CPR Lodge in Invermere on July 26 from 2 to 5 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family would suggest donations to the “Doerr Family Youth Fund (Remembering Tommy)” which is being set up at the Columbia Valley Community Foundation and will be proactively used to support youth in the Columbia Valley. Alternatively, support for charities which combat the scourge of addiction, which is stealing so many of today’s vulnerable youth, would be appreciated.

The service will also be broadcast live 2 pm mdt, July 21, 2022 through the McInnis and Holloway website www.mhfh.com.
