A GoFundMe set up by Thomas’ uncle Kevin Krestinski has raised over $26,000 of a $10,000 goal.

Krestinski says Thomas was on the Autism spectrum and describes him as an “inquisitive bright young boy”.

He is survived by his parents, Robert and Rosalie, his twin brother Ethan, his sister Caitlyn and his brother Owen.

The obituary says Thomas was “a loving son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend, and his loss will be felt deeply by all who knew him.”
