In Loving Memory of

Thomas "Tom" Amatto

1962 ~ 2020

Mr. Tom Amatto of Lethbridge, Alberta passed away June 3, 2020 at the age of 57. Tom was born in Nelson, BC and his heart was always in the Kootenays, a place he called home, more than once in his life.

Though he passed away in Alberta, he lived in Nelson and Kaslo for years.

Tom was a talented Auto Body Mechanic and Painter, and loved to restore and deck out Classic cars. He was thrilled when he opened his own shop in Kaslo called "Mel and Joe's Modefetorium"; a dream for him.

Tom's humour was sharp and quick witted, and he loved to share this with all his many friends and family members. Football and sports were a passion for Tom, and you could always catch him in front of a game. Tom was most proud of his daughter and grandchildren, affectionately known as Grampa Tommy Gun.

Tom is survived by his daughter Jaime (Greg) Bratland of Okotoks, Alberta, their children Jack and Georgia; as well as his sister Geri (Glen) Pottinger and their son Josh. Tom was predeceased by his parents Mel and Joe Amatto, and his grandparents Tom and Harriett Hawes and Frank and Marietta .
Tom is greatly missed by numerous friends and family in BC and Alberta.
Internment will finally be Wednesday, August 4th, 2021 at 11:00 AM in the Nelson Cemetery.
All are welcome to come and celebrate Tom's life.
