‘The Powerpuff Girls’ creator Craig McCracken has released a tribute to the late Tom Kane.
“I grew up without a dad, so it was important to me that the girls had the best one I could give them and that was Tom.”
My heart is aching. Today, we lost one of the best humans on the planet. Tom Kane passed away surrounded by his loving wife, Cindy, and his family.
Tom was not only a truly gifted, incredible, and prolific voice actor, but one of the most genuine and kind people I have ever known. He was the proud father of nine — yes, nine — children, whom he loved beyond measure.
I feel so blessed to have worked alongside him, and even more blessed to have known and loved him as part of my Powerpuff Girls family. I’m deeply grateful I was able to spend time with him one last time at Lexington Comic & Toy Convention in March 2026.
Tom leaves behind an extraordinary legacy, countless unforgettable performances, and so many people who loved him dearly. But I think I will miss my dear Professor most of all.
I love you, Tom. You will always be in my heart.
Rest in peace, Professor ❤️ Thank you, Tom Kane, for lending your voice to the father of three perfect little girls and bringing The Force to millions of fans. You'll live on in our childhood memories forever.
They say there’s no such thing as a perfect man… those people never met #TomKane.
I’ve never in my life met a sweeter soul or a better human being.
He and his wife raised three beautiful children, then opened their hearts and adopted six more. Six more. Imagine that.
Visiting their home brought everyone joy. It was pure magic… authenticity, warmth, acceptance, and a lot of #StarWars.
And his acting? Everything he did, he did to perfection, but never in a predictable way. Tom always found something deeper, more creative, more thoughtful, weird, fun & unique. Brilliant. Giving. Funny. Supportive. Kind. There was no one like HIM.
I’m beyond grateful for all the hours we spent together in the booth, and so grateful we got to see him again recently… hug him tight and tell him how much we love and miss him.
There will forever be a hole in my heart.
I love you, Professor. You were the best dad, the best human, and I feel so honored to have known you and called you my friend.
Until we meet again in the recording studio in the sky… 🩷💚🩵💔

@imanimosley The Gorecki is a piece I consciously try to avoid knowing it'll make me burst into a sobbing puddle. Mahler 2 is that times 200 in terms of emotional impact
@secondaryjess@pwallinga I was tempted to look for a version with period instruments but I was coming up empty except for a concert version with John Eliot Gardiner, which may have been a red flag
