Thomas Heaton

It is with sorrow that we announce the passing of Thomas Heaton, our husband, father, and grandfather. An actor, singer/songwriter and artist, Tom was born in 1940 and raised in the Bronx, NY when it was still a rural community. After a stint in the US Army, stationed overseas in Europe, Tom attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, and found his true calling. With over 150 film and television credits (Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner as his first film), Tom worked throughout the US and Canada, making Gibsons his home after years in Los Angeles, Nelson, Rock Creek, and Vancouver. Adoring and proud of his family, Tom leaves to mourn his loss, and cherish his life, his wife Janet Hodgkinson, his four children, Willow, Beau (Kess), Sam (Jenna) and Jack, and his four grandchildren, Raven, Lily, Maleka and Makeo.
