Tom PAYNE Obituary

PAYNE Tom Beloved father, brother and dear friend, has tragically passed away in early April 2023, aged 67.
Tom was a local gardener over the years and much preferred being outside,
amongst the land, foliage and trees.
Before he retired, he was also a yoga teacher, immersing himself in the practise whilst helping others in their practise too.
His final and most recent passion was in kayaking and canoeing and it's through that
he discovered a new community
and embarked in fresh learning.
He also volunteered locally, helping the elderly.

He was a man that always cared for others and the environment around him and had a positive effect on those he interacted with.
There aren't and won't be many like him.

Services will be held in his honour on
Monday 22nd May at 10.30am at
Charing Crematorium and will be open to those that knew and loved him and wanted to
pay their respects.

Also, if anyone wanted to, they could make a donation to a charity he held dear, found on the tribute page to him which is linked below,
or they could give flowers through the
Co-op funeral directors in Ashford.

and his close friends.
He will forever be loved and missed.
