MACKESSY Thomas William, aged 51, who sadly passed away on 6th November 2026. Beloved husband to Amanda, father to Stephen, Reece, Courtney & Charlie, Granda T to Connor, father-in-law to Linda & Craig, son of Anne & Tommy, brother of David and the late Sharon & Katrina and so much more.

Thomas was a funny, caring and, at times, wonderfully grumpy man, who brought laughter, love and his own unique character into the lives of all who knew him. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends, and will remain forever in their hearts.

Those wishing to pay their respects to Thomas are welcome to do so at PJ Browns Funeral Home, Oldpark Road, between 2pm and 5pm Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Wednesday 2pm to 7pm Saturday 12pm to 3pm.

Thomas’ funeral service will take place at Newtownabbey Crematorium on Monday, 16th November 2026 at 12 noon.

Please come dressed in whatever you feel comfortable wearing. Suits and black clothing are not required – Thomas would want everyone to come as they are.

All family and friends are warmly invited to join us as we say our final goodbye to a truly loved and unforgettable man.

Forever loved, forever missed, and never forgotten.

Donations in lieu of flowers to Brain Injury Matters.

Rest easy, Thomas.
