Tom was predeceased by his parents Jack and Beulah Kasto and brothers John, Pete and James Kasto. 

Tom was born on the 25^th day of May 1967 in Hamiota to his parents Jack and Beulah Kasto.  He was the second youngest out of 5 boys.  He attended school in Birtle, MB, had many friends and was involved in many sports.  Upon completion of school, Tom joined the Dakota Ojibway Police service where he dedicated 36 years of his life. 

In 2002 he married his wife Alicia and went on to have their 4 children, Tori, Dallas, Wyatt and Zane. In 2006 Tom moved his family to Portage la Prairie where they raised their children, got involved with the community and made many friends. Tom could often be found on the golf course in the summer months and watching his beloved Jets in the winter.  He was a family man that often showed the love he had for his family.  He was quick witted and always down for a good debate.  Tom poured his heart into everything he did and was loved and looked up to by many. 

Private services will be held, Tom will be laid to rest at Bird Tail First Nation at a later date. The service will be livestreamed.   Please register to view at the link below.
