It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Thomas Kevin Cahill III, who departed this life peacefully in his sleep on July 19, 2025, at the age of 41.
Born on February 27, 1984, Thomas was a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend. His gentle soul, steady presence, and quiet strength left a meaningful and lasting impact on all who had the privilege of knowing him. He will be remembered for his kind heart, selfless nature, and the unwavering love he gave to those around him.
Thomas is survived by his devoted parents: father Tom Cahill, mother Tammy Nickel, and stepfather Rick Nickel; his loving siblings: brother Cory Cahill and sister Nicole Cahill; his sister-in-law Jessica Cahill; his adored nephew Connor Cahill and niece Sylvia Cahill; and by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and close friends who mourn his passing.
Those who knew Thomas will remember him as someone who valued family deeply, cherished simple joys, and offered his presence as a quiet source of strength and care. He was a man of few words but many acts of kindness—always willing to lend a hand, share a laugh, or simply be there when it mattered most.
His absence is profoundly felt, yet his spirit lives on through the love he shared, the memories he leaves behind, and the lives he touched so meaningfully.
