Thomas Wingo, CFP®

Thomas Herbert Wingo, 68 years of age, passed away suddenly on March 22, 2024.

Tom was the first born child of William and Lois Wingo, and carried the title of crowned prince his entire life. He graduated from Sycamore High School where he was a class officer, played football and baseball, wrestled, and generally entertained his friends with his adventurous and fun loving attitude toward life. He graduated from Miami University where he was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity and where his zest for life was no less evident than it was in high school.

Tom worked for 40 years as a Financial Planner at Queen City Financial Advisors. For nearly that entire time it was with the same core group of planners and they were truly the closest of friends. His warm and caring personality ensured that his clients knew he cared about them and would keep their best interests in all that he did.

Tom's sisters, Wendy, Sarah and Susy are so like Tom in that they love to live life to the fullest. Their parents instilled in them that keeping the family together was the most important thing. To that end, their legacy continues with an ever expanding family through marriages, births, and lifelong friends that become like family. His sisters are sweet and funny and caring and kind and he adored them all. They also blessed him by adding eight more children to the family and two brothers-in-law.

Tom and Pat were married for 38 wonderful years. When they married, Tom embraced his role of step-father to Kim and Mike, loving all of the adventures children bring, or at least most of them. The annual family trip to South Carolina, a tradition his family began in 1967, continues to this day. Their children got to know grandparents, aunts and eventually uncles, cousins, and oh so many friends that managed to become a part of the beach trip circle. As Kim and Mike grew, so did the family by a son, two daughters, and four grandchildren. Mike married Jenn and they have three fabulous boys, and their bonus son Aaron married Angela and they have an amazing daughter. And, not surprisingly, the grandchildren adored their Papa.

Tom is survived by his loving wife Pat, Kimberly Popil-Moon, Mike and Jenn Popil and grandsons Jackson, Max and Miles, and Aaron and Angela Jones and granddaughter Olivia. Also, Wendy and Steve Zabel and their daughters Amanda and Alex, Sarah and Dan Williams and their children Hannah and Raphael Mannino and their children Daniel, James and Lucy, Christopher and Catherine Williams, and Cleary and Andy Manson, and Susan Wingo and her children, Lindsey and Dariush Rahbar, Emily Evans and Danielle Evans, and nephew John Lewis.
