When the Master tracked them down, he used his laser screwdriver to kill Thomas.
When the Master's paradox machine was destroyed, undoing the Year That Never Was and reversing time back to 2008, Martha phoned doctor Thomas Milligan, and then hung up, reassured that in this timeline he was alive. (TV: Last of the Time Lords)
When Martha was working for UNIT, and seconded to Torchwood 3 as a medical officer, she mentioned to the flirtatious Owen that she had a serious boyfriend who had once saved her life. (TV: Reset)

Personality
In the Year That Never Was, Tom Milligan quickly took a liking to Martha Jones and proved to be very loyal to her. He even tried to attack the Master in an attempt to protect her, resulting in what would have been his death if time had not been reversed. Once the time line had been corrected, Martha sought him out. (TV: Last of the Time Lords) Although from his perspective he had never experienced the events of the Year That Never Was, Martha and he entered into a romantic relationship. They were also engaged at one point. (TV: The Sontaran Stratagem) Through an unknown set of circumstances however, Martha would later marry Mickey Smith. (TV: The End of Time)
Though he was a doctor, Tom would not hesitate to deal with matters through force, and kept a gun with him during the Year That Never Was. He killed one of the Toclafane after it said that killing humans was fun. He suggested using his gun to kill the Master, but Martha explained that Time Lords couldn't be killed so easily.
