In memory of Tom Claffey

By Kerrie Claffey

In memory of someone special...

Welcome to my Forever in our Hearts tribute page. This page is a place for family and friends to share their memories of Tom, as well as to raise donations to support the Heart Foundation.

The Heart Foundation funds life-changing research and programs for people with or at risk of heart disease, as well as their friends, families and communities. I’m raising funds to support their work because I believe in a future free from heart disease.

I hope you’ll consider making a donation in honour of Tom's life. Your gift will support heart disease research, treatment and education that provide hope for thousands of Australians.

All donations over $2 are tax deductible and you’ll get a receipt by email as soon as you make your donation 

Thank you for your support.

Thomas Philip Claffey - 12 Nov 1963 - 25 Jul 2019

Thursday 19th Nov

Last Tuesday while we were out cycling, Tom suffered a sudden cardiac arrest. Despite immediate CPR by the bike shop guys, 7 cycles of electric shock and compressions by 4 paramedics in 2 ambulances, quick transport to RPA hospital, connection to ECMO heart/lung bypass life support and industrial quantities of drugs, Tom's heart would only pulse and never regained proper pumping function. After 48 hrs on ECMO, tests and assessments showed no heart or brain function. So on thursday life support was switched off.
Tom was cheated of his retirement dreams of gliding, sailing, 4w driving and fishing. I'm cheated of growing old with the love of my life, husband, best friend and soul-mate.
