He was born June 25, 1965, in Portland, Maine, to Jerry D. and Betty J. Roberts Segraves.
The family moved to the Marshall County area in the mid 1960s. Growing up on a farm, he had a great interest in horses and enjoyed riding and showing in the 4H Fair.
He graduated from John Glenn High School with the Class of 1983. While there, he participated in the baseball program as a catcher and was named three-time all-conference and two-time all-state. For one year he attended Ball State University, and there he played with the practice squad.
He continued his love for baseball, and while a member of the Plymouth Moose Lodge he played shortstop in the men’s softball league. He followed the Reds with Ken Griffey Jr., his favorite player, Notre Dame football and the Pittsburg Steelers.
He had worked in the construction field and enjoyed being a cook at Buffalo Wild Wings in Warsaw.
His greatest success in life did not come easy for him or others near to him as he struggled with addiction; and then he found Serenity House in Warsaw and there, a renewed life dealing with his own addiction to alcohol. He was able to live an independent life as a born again Christian and gave back by returning to help manage and assist others in the Serenity program, who were making that same journey. He was reserved and quiet but when you were a friend you surely knew it. He loved his family, especially his son Jacob, and cared dearly for his friends and neighbors.
Surviving are a son, Jacob J.D. Segraves; his girlfriend, Bellinda Bottorff, Plymouth; a sister, Jo A. (and spouse Jim) Kozubik, Knox; close cousins, Dixie Segraves and her children, Anna, Toby and Jerry; along with cousin Lynn Morris; as well as two aunts, Paula McClain and Judy Pendexter. He was preceded in death by his parents and an uncle, Robert Segraves.
Family and friends are invited to gather at the Johnson-Danielson Funeral Home, 1100 N. Michigan St., Plymouth, from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday. A memorial service will begin at 7 p.m. in the funeral home.
