Thomas N. Segura, of Vero Beach, Florida passed away on Wednesday, December 29, 2021, with his family by his side.

Tom was born to the late H. Weston and Jane Ann Browne Segura on August 26, 1947, in Louisville, Kentucky. He graduated from Xavier University with a bachelor's degree in political science. Tom was a three-time state champion Olympic weightlifter, winning titles in Kentucky and Ohio. He served as an officer in the Marine Corps and saw battle in Vietnam before retiring as a Captain. Tom then married Rosario (Charo) Lazarte in 1976 in Lima, Peru. They moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, where Tom started working for Merrill Lynch in a career that spanned 41 years, the last 25 in Vero Beach. His peers and clients alike often cited the loyalty, care, and dedication he exhibited in his work and all aspects of life. Tom was committed to giving back in every community in which he lived. He was devoted to improving ours, with a specific focus on healthcare. He served for over 10 years on the Indian River Community Hospital Board – four as treasurer, two as vice chairman, and four as chairman, working hard to create a service-oriented healthcare experience. Tom was also instrumental in the development and building of The Cancer Center.

Tom was a lifelong Rotarian, and past President of The Rotary Club of Orchid Island, serving two terms. Tom also served at almost every level for the United Way of Indian River County, was a board member from 1999-2005, and together with his wife, Charo, chaired the 2005-06 Annual Campaign for the United Way, raising well over $2 million. Just this past year, Tom served as a financial analyst in review of potential funded partners, as he refused to let his cancer treatment keep him from working. Also, while recovering from a bone marrow transplant in 2019, Tom was called to serve as Vice Chair on the board of the VNA. Current Board Chair, Bill Stengel, heralds Tom by writing, "His direct involvement will give Indian River County another material boost to the quality of its healthcare for all." Tom never let any excuse get in the way of his dedication to serve, and his selfless drive was responsible for improving everything to which he dedicated his time. Tom was one of the inaugural members of Quail Valley, where he was loved by the members and staff alike. His passion was his family, serving his community, and playing chess.

Tom is survived by his wife, Charo Segura; his three children, Maria Segura, Tom Segura and Jane Segura; his son-in-law, Jeff Petersen and his daughter-in-law, Christina Segura; and his four grandchildren, Weston, Greysen, Ellis, and Julian; and his brother, Steve Segura. Tom is preceded in death by his siblings, Joseph Segura and Ann Segura Webb. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 9:30 AM, Saturday, January 8, 2022 at Holy Cross Catholic Church. Interment and Military Honors will follow at Crestlawn Cemetery.
