Below was a statement by his son, Steve.

Greetings everyone
I have sad news. Tom Blomefield, my father and one of the main movers of the Zimbabwe sculpture movement peacefully passed away today at 11am today in Holland.

He will be sorely missed by tens of thousands of people whose family members learned art at Tengenenge and fed extended families, and who survived droughts, locust invasions and army worm
infestations. Many of the thousands who learned sculpture are scattered throughout the world blessing others through their art works.

He lived a long, happy life serving his community and the nation of Zimbabwe. He spoke two African languages fluently [Chewa and Yao] and learned to coexist within these cultures. He also spoke English, Dutch and German.
