With sadness we announce the passing of Thomas “Tom” Tracey McEwan on January 3, 2026 at the Crowsnest Pass Continuing Care Centre, Blairmore, AB. He was 92 years of age.
Tom was born in Alloa, Scotland on September 30, 1933 and came to Canada in 1979. Throughout his life, he proudly served in the British Army, worked in the building trade, then, in Canada, he was employed by Fording Coal as a tireman until his retirement.
Tom appreciated the simple pleasures of life. Reading, watching sports on tv, going camping, and spending time with his beloved dog, Buddy – he enjoyed them all. His was a life well-lived and will be remembered with love and respect.

He was predeceased by his parents, Catherine and Duncan McEwan; his brother, Sammy; his sisters, Nancy and Cathy; and his nephew, Kevin.
