Thomas Edward Maxwell, 73, of Victoria, BC, passed away on February 24, 2022.
Thomas lived his life fully and loved others wholly even as he battled through cancer these last eight years. Thomas worked for 35 years with the provincial government, land surveying and later, as environmental stewardship officer with the Ministry of Environment. In his retirement, he found another true calling for 15 years as a Captain for Sea Fun Safaris and Eagle Wing Tours.
He was a loving husband to Linda, and an amazing father to Aaron, Chris, and Sarah, as well as to daughters-in-law Kwyn, Alaine, Christina, Malika, and Breanna and sons-in-law Segovia, Craig, and Rick. Thomas’ pride and joy were his grandchildren, Noah, Keaton, Zariyan, Preston, Grayson, Leo and Kylie. Thomas is survived by his sister Cathy and brother Jim and sister-in-law Donna as well as extended family.
The family would also like to thank the many healthcare providers that assisted Thomas.
A private celebration of life will be held for Thomas on Tuesday, March 8th at 2:00 p.m. Guests may join the event virtually by clicking on the following link:

Tom was my coxswain at OBSR unit 33 .He was an incredible teacher sharing his love of the ocean and one of the best small boat handlers on the coast. That along with his great sense of humor made time on the water a wonderful experience. He made the world a better place and will be missed.
