Family deliver tributes at Tom Coombes' memorial service

Melanie Earley Reporter from Western Leader

Kia ora neighbours, Thomas Coombes, who was fatally stabbed on a walkway in Auckland’s Mt Albert, has been remembered by loved ones as being able to “cheer up a brick wall”.

About 700 people gathered at Wainamu, Te Henga/Bethells Beach for a memorial service on Tuesday May 31 to mourn the loss of Coombes after he was attacked and killed on Tuesday May 24.

Coombes, 25, had been heading home when he was attacked and his body was found by members of the public.

“Tom was a young man who followed his dreams, and we want his life to inspire other young people to do the same,” said his mother, Rowena Coombes.
