Tom was 94. He was preceded in death by his parents, Tony A. and Clara Volz Lux; his first wife, Grace Anne Stenger Lux; and his brother, Fr. Leonard Lux, O.S.B.

A lifelong resident of Indianapolis, Thomas graduated from Cathedral Grade School, attended St. Meinrad Minor Seminary and Butler University.

He was a member of St. Lawrence Catholic Church, the Pius X Chapter of the Knights of Columbus and a past member of Christ the King Church.
His passions in life were his family and friends, his faith, the study of health and nutrition, travel, tennis, gardening and reading.
