Thomas St. Hilaire

GARDNER - Thomas Paul “Fatboy” St. Hilaire, born March 5th, 1954 in Gardner, sadly passed away on Tuesday, May 21st. He is survived by two daughters, Melissa St. Hilaire and Kristen St. Hilaire; and a son David St. Hilaire; and possibly more that we don’t know about, an ex-wife/wife-ish turned domestic partner, Cheryl St. Hilaire; two sisters,, Diane Guild and Nancy St. Pierre; and 6 grandchildren, Gracie, Anna, Kayla, Sadie, Jacob, and Noah; and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins, all that he loved dearly. But most notably, he leaves behind a family of raccoons that he fathered for generations.

Thomas especially enjoyed camping in the White Mountains, and loved the outdoors and its wildlife. Thomas had a special gift of making people laugh, although his attempt at jokes were often funnier than the jokes themselves; such as the famous peanut joke. Thomas will truly be missed, but his love and the memories we made with him will live on forever. The family is asking in lieu of flowers to make a donation to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital at https://www.stjude.org/donate/donate-to-st-jude.html

A memorial service will be held at 9:30 am to 11:30am, on Saturday, June 1, at Kelly Cremation & Funeral Care, 154 Lincoln Street, Worcester.
