Tom was born in Dallas to Josephine and Tomas Warren Rubio on February 27, 1935. He went to school at Crozier Tech in Dallas, Texas. He married Ercilia Vela on March 23, 1963 in Laredo, Texas. Tom graduated from Southern Methodist University and worked as an Accountant/Auditor for the U.S Government. He proudly served in the United States Marines. He was a loved member of the community and could frequently be found making people smile or passing on some knowledge. Tom always had a joke to tell, a piece of advice to give or offer to help solve a problem.

Tom is survived by children: Linda Flores, Rene Rubio, Tom Rubio IV, Carol Alcantar and son-in-law Christopher Alcantar. Grandchildren: Lauren Flores, Sunder Alcantar, Nathan Rubio, Zachary Alcantar and Kyle Rubio.
Brothers and sisters: Robert Rubio and wife Alicia, George Rubio and wife Elena, Mary Gonzalez and husband Armando, Martha Ligus and husband Barry and Joanne Kay Rubio Cortez and husband Carlos.
Pallbearers will be George Rubio, Greg Queen, Kyle Rubio, Nathan Rubio, Jose Meza, Zachary Alcantar and Chris Alcantar.
The family of Tom wishes to extend our sincere thanks to the doctors and nurses at Vitas at Baylor Scott & White Carrollton.
