In memory of Thomas Longhurst

In memory of Thom

Mental illness doesn’t discriminate – it affects 1 in 5 Australians every year with symptoms like depression and anxiety. The impact can be devastating, not only for those living with it, but for those around them.

Black Dog Institute is the only medical research institute in Australia to investigate mental health across the lifespan. Their aim is to create a mentally healthier world for everyone.

Your gift will support crucial mental health research and support services that help Australians impacted by mental illness and suicide.

Thank you.

Thom’s Legacy

Thursday 5th Feb

Thom was a kind and gentle person who cared deeply for others. He believed everyone deserved respect and fairness, and if someone was struggling or being treated poorly, he would go out of his way to help.


Thom’s warmth reached far and wide. He was always up for a chat and always ready to listen. At school, work, and in everyday life, he greeted people with a smile and a laugh, welcoming everyone for who they were.


Thom’s loss will be felt across the community for a long time. He touched many lives through his kindness, generosity, and presence.


Donating in Thom’s memory helps support people experiencing mental health struggles and has the potential to save lives.

James, It’s incredible that during such a tough time, you’re still thinking of others. Goes to show the kind of person you are, and you should be incredibly proud of yourself. The work you’ve done will no doubt help so many men through their battle with their mental health, and those men can appreciate your generosity. Please know that you’re in my thoughts, and I wish you all the best. Please take care of yourself a little extra while you grieve, and reach out to someone you love if you need a hand. Wishing Thom eternal peace 🩵🖤🤍

Thank you James for organising this, and thank you Thom for your kind heart, your words of encouragement and support you showed me on my own fitness endeavours. Thank you for the catch-up's when you'd come into work and genuinely bringing a smile to myself and everyone else's face, I wish these moments could've continued longer and we could have spoken more. I hope your soul is at peace, rest easy Thom 🩵.

Mental Illness or Impairment doesn’t discriminate- and it’s hard for those of us who are left behind, we wonder what we could have done differently. I’d met you only on a few occasions Thom but those times you put a smile on my face and we had a laugh, thank you for those times ❤️

Although I only met Thom a few times in a social group, through James. I was very saddened to hear of his sudden passing and feel deeply for those close to him. R.I.P

It’s hard to put into words what our friendship meant to me. You treated and loved me like a brother. I couldn’t have asked for a better friend. I’m missing you everyday.
