Tom was born and raised in Port aux Basques to Eric and Kathleen Knott. Tom resided in Port aux Basques until 1994, when he moved out west to seek a better life for family.

Tom had a personality that filled a room and a larger-than-life laugh and smile.

Tom loved his family and fast cars. He was passionate about animals and loved his fur babies. Any animal that met him, loved him.
