Tom parents never were really in the story or were really in Toms life. They died when he was young and he lives with his Aunt Polly. She is his only main family member and the only one he really know.

In Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," Tom's parents are not mentioned as having died. They are simply absent from the story, with Tom living under the care of his Aunt Polly.
