Thomas "TA" A. Nash

Thomas A. Nash ("TA") passed away peacefully on October 8, 2026. A longtime resident of the area, he was a proud graduate of New Albany High School, Class of 1978. Although Tom faced many health-related challenges throughout his life, he never complained or lost his sense of humor. Despite the limitations, he lived his life his way, charting his own path. Inheriting his father’s love of joking and teasing, he led a joy-filled life and brought warmth to everyone around him.

Tom was always a hard worker. Over the years, he took great pride in his work with: New Hope Services, Blue River Industries and Rauch Industries. He truly enjoyed the camaraderie of his coworkers, though he always admitted that getting paid was the best part.

A devoted sports fan, Tom was a lifelong supporter of University of Kentucky basketball and the Cincinnati Reds. Growing up in a household of Hoosiers, he displayed tremendous resolve in defending the honor of his beloved Kats. Tom was also an active participant in the Special Olympics, proudly helping his Madison State Hospital All-Stars win the state softball championship in 1986.

He was preceded in death by his father, Wilbur Nash; his mother, Gloria (Ising) Nash; and his sister, Barbara Grauel.

He is survived by his brother, Ron Nash, and sister-in-law, Susie Marguet, along with many loving aunts, cousins, nephews, and nieces.

The family wishes to express their deepest gratitude to:

· ResCare of Southern Indiana for the tireless care they provided in supporting Tom during the last months of life in his own home.

· St. Croix Hospice and Nurse Jennifer Jones for the compassion, comfort and support they provided to Tom.

· Jenna Scott, Tom’s IMPG case worker, who was with Tom for years—helping him live his best life while providing invaluable support to his family.
