Norman, Oklahoma - Dr. Tom Wallace Ewing, born December 17, 1946, in Abilene, Texas, passed peacefully from this life on October 14, 2025. He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Mellisse Ewing; his wife, Tammy Green Ewing; and his niece, Brie Whitmire.

In addition to being a profoundly faithful, sensitive, and loving man, Tom was a highly respected hand surgeon in OKC, Norman, and Duncan, Oklahoma practicing for nearly fifty years. He attended Abilene Christian University (Class of 1969), earned his medical degree from the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine, practiced family and emergency medicine in Jacksboro and Wichita Falls, Texas, and completed his residency in orthopedic surgery at St. Anthony's and Hillcrest Hospitals in Oklahoma City. Though Dr. Ewing valued all his training, he was especially grateful for his prestigious fellowship in hand surgery with Dr. Edward Nailbuff, a pioneer in the field.

Throughout his long and distinguished career, Dr. Ewing became known for treating complex cases with both meticulous skill and deep compassion, offering confidence and comfort to his patients. Beyond his remarkable professional achievements, he considered his family his greatest joy and legacy.

Tom and Julie met while students at Abilene Christian University and together raised their children:

- April Ewing McBride (husband Donnie; children Christy, William, Joshua, Julianna, and John David)

- Dax Segers (former husband Clay; children Mycah and Shelby)

- Jonathan Ewing (wife Lesli; children Luke, Graham, and Blair)

- Kevin Ewing

His surviving siblings and their families include:

- Kathy Campbell (husband James; children Sunshine and Brooke)

- Virginia Whitmire (husband Mark; daughter Elizabeth)

- Patricia Ewing (husband Tim; children Erin and Courtney)

- Hope Ewing (children Jason and Kris)

Tom lived life with intensity and warmth. He found joy in the outdoors—especially hunting trips shared with friends and family. Tom was an avid quail hunter who enjoyed bird dogs and chasing the next covey rise. He studied the violin as a child and loved to enjoy and share beautiful music. He loved to cook and experiment with new recipes and flavors. His enthusiasm for good food, good stories, and good company was contagious.

He will be remembered for his charisma, his deep faith and steadfast hope of heaven, and for the stories, tears, humor, wisdom, and guidance he shared so freely.

A celebration of Dr. Tom Ewing's life will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Monday, November 3, 2025, at Alameda Church of Christ in Norman, Oklahoma (801 E. Alameda St. 73071), with a reception to follow.
