Tom Goyette was born and raised in Davison, Michigan. He is number eight out of nine children and the baby boy. He grew up in a very loving and close knit family. Tom met the love of his life, Cathy, while in high school. If you don't know Tom and Cathy, it's hard to explain how perfect their relationship is. They balance out each other's personalities perfectly and are always making themselves and others laugh through their stories and jokes. Their relationship is a great example of the kind of love that everyone hopes for. The best example of their love is their three beautiful children. Their oldest, Madeline, just completed her first year of college at Central Michigan University. Like her parents, she always has a smile on her face. Their son Nick is 15 years old. He not only is an excellent athlete, playing both hockey and lacrosse, but he is also as sweet as can be. Their baby boy, Tommy, will be a freshman in high school in September and is also quite the athlete. He travels around the state and country with his hockey team/family.
Tom works for the family company, Goyette Mechanical, in Flint, Michigan as a Project Manager. He has worked there for nearly 20 years and is lucky enough to work alongside 5 siblings and a number of cousins, friends, nieces, and nephews.
Tom was diagnosed with primary schlerosing cholangitis (PSC) in September of 2013. PSC is a chronic disease that slowly damages the bile ducts both inside and outside of the liver. PSC can cause many complications in the liver, including liver cancer. The only cure for PSC is for a liver donation. It is Tom and Cathy's hope that through prayers and communicating with as many people as possible they might be able to find a live partial liver donor for Tom.
**UPDATE** We have found a liver donor. Please see later posts for more information.
