Thomas E McCallum

April 23, 1997 — June 13, 2021

Thomas Edward McCallum was born April 23, 1997, in Imperial, Nebraska, to Michael E. McCallum and Rhonda S. Broughton. Thomas grew up and attended school in Imperial and Sidney, Nebraska. He furthered his education by attending High School in Denver.

Thomas had many hobbies including making jewelry, leather working, making origami, watching tik-tok, fishing, and spending time with family and friends. He never met a stranger that didn’t soon become a friend. A true passion of Thomas’s was making people laugh. He often left family and friends wondering where his crazy ideas came from. He was the best brother a sibling could ever ask for. Thomas enjoyed talking about memories from his childhood including favorites such as camping at Ender Reservoir, a time with his older sister; piling clothing and other items against a wall in the house so he could climb to the top and touch the ceiling. His Mom making apple cinnamon jelly during the holidays, and his younger sisters with their dogs. Lastly, raising turkeys and preparing them for Thanksgiving at Grandpa and Grandma McCallum’s.

Thomas passed away Sunday afternoon, June 13th, 2021, at the Emerald Nursing and Rehab Lakeview Center in Grand Island, Nebraska, surrounded by his family. He was 24 years of age.

Thomas was preceded in death by his Father; Mike McCallum, Grandfathers; Elroy Broughton and Richard McCallum, Uncle; Steve Broughton, Cousins; Jordon Mahnke and Blye McCallum.
