Thomas Joseph Sanregret

Thomas Joseph Sanregret passed away on December 20, 2024, 3 months after his 90th birthday.

Tom was born on September 11, 1934 in St. Paul, Alberta to George and Adelina Sanregret; he was one of eleven children in the Sanregret family (Harold, Ruth, Raymond, Carmen, Corrine, Ken, Tony, Allie, Bert, and Muriel). Tom was a residential school survivor, after which he settled in the Edmonton area where he built a career in Sales and Management. In May of 1959 Tom married Jeanne McNeil and had 5 children- Warren (Linda), Annette (Rob), Casey (Lisa), Andre (pre-deceased), and Michelle. Along with his children, Tom is survived by his twelve grandchildren.

Tom may be more well known in the Edmonton sports community. He was a dedicated athlete, coach, and manager. Growing up Tom played several sports; as a young adult he became the star quarterback for the Edmonton Wildcats and then went on to play semi-pro across Canada. Tom’s coaching and team management was his true passion. His skill & knowledge elevated his career from coaching to management, resulting in numerous championships. To recognize Tom’s commitment as President of KC Hockey, a division was named after him in Edmonton Minor Hockey. Tom’s love for sports and competition was passed down to his children and grandchildren. If he wasn't coaching them, you could find Tom sitting on the sidelines eager to cheer on his family.

In the later years of Tom’s life, Tom found a partner in Sharon Merryweather. The two found joy in traveling to places such as Brazil, Belize & Jasper, but also in simple moments with friends & family at the local Tim Horton’s. Tom will be remembered and missed for his humour, big heart and peaceful demeanour.
