Tom Brennan

Tom'schild — A photo of Tom with his baby son, Connor.

Tom Brennan was Kate's childhood sweetheart. He had a partner (possibly a wife) named Rachel, and a baby, Connor.

He was a doctor in St. Francis Hospital in Iowa, where he schedules a fake MRI for Kate's mother Diane Janssen so that Kate can see her one last time before she dies.

When they were young, he and Kate buried a time capsule. Inside the time capsule are a number of childhood objects, including a baseball bat and Tom’s favorite toy airplane. They also find a tape recording, which they play in the car. Recorded in 1989, young Tom and Kate comment on how they will be married when they find the capsule in the future, and also about running away together. During this, young Kate additionally mentions that Tom “knows why” she always wants to run. The tape is stopped, and in that moment the two kiss. Pulling away, Kate apologizes as Tom says they’d better get to the hospital.

He was the original owner of the toy airplane, which is taken by Kate after he dies during an escape attempt made by her in Tom's car.
