Thomas was born on June 26, 2004 in Calgary. At the age of three, he was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma, but true to his character, did not let the disease define him. He lived for the moment, and quite truly loved being a little boy, whatever his age.

Thomas was a kids’ kid, with a typically goofy sense of humor. He played hard and found a way to keep fighting even during the worst of his many cancer treatments. In his stoicism and courage, he was a true “little soldier.” He loved sports – all of them. He was also a natural born swimmer and made the most of his trips to Hawaii, spending more time in the water than out. Over the years he also became quite a prolific and advanced builder of Lego. While always a kid, he was also mature beyond his years. He was always sensitive to the needs of others. It always felt like he took nothing for granted. He loved his sister, mom, and dad deeply and yearned for the company of his family and relatives as well as his many friends. After a brave and heroic four-year battle against the disease, Thomas Mueller passed away on Friday, September 30th 2011 at the age of 7.
