Cancer Sucks

Well, this is not a post I want to make – and fortunately, not typical for the Revaluate Blog.
I’m sad to report some terrible news here at Revaluate. My good friend and Revaluate Co-Founder Tim Segraves passed away Dec 23rd, 2025. It was the day after his 48th birthday. He was surrounded by family.

Tim Segraves

Tim was a thoughtful and enthusiastic problem solver, dedicated to his family and friends.  In life, he was all in.

Tim’s enthusiasm, focus and determination consistently drove him to do terribly difficult things for fun. He was a thinker, a tinkerer and a maker who loved a good challenge. He and his wife Erica climbed ten 14ers together and he climbed two more with his friends. They completed the 5 peak Boulder Skyline Traverse together this June. He completed marathons and ultra marathons, obstacle courses and mud runs. At over 10k feet above sea level he ran the Leadville 50. Additionally, he cycled – including the Unbound 200 mile gravel bike race. Tim didn’t let any excuse stop him. In 2023, not long after undergoing extensive surgery followed by chemotherapy and radiation treatments, he began training for a 50K race known as Trails to Rails. He would place second.

He was into real estate …. accidentally, they became house flippers – buying and selling 9 houses in 20 years in both Colorado and Kansas just because they love having projects to work on together. He and Erica rebuilt a 1974 airstream trailer from the tires up. With Erica and Josie, he designed and ran a solar powered farm, with 130 chickens, 6 pigs, and 7 bottle-fed goats. He enjoyed bass fishing with his brothers and friends.  Tim excelled at fishing, competing in numerous tournaments and winning awards, such as the Kansas Kayak Bass Nation State Championship and going on to fish in the Kayak Bassmasters Championship on Lake Chickamauga in 2023.

He was a very proud father and loved getting to share his hobbies with Josie. He passed on his love of music and bowling to her and found special projects they’d do together like building a drone.

I’ve been friends with Tim for more than 20 years, with many adventures along the way. Perhaps we got along well because we both loved being outdoors and building things… even on vacation. Once, at Anna Maria Island, we built a goofy gravity powered beer tram (gondola?) to get cold beers from the 2nd floor beach rental fridge, down to our wives’ beach chairs. It worked – most of the time. The testing concluded when we ran out of beer.

Tim liked to be in control, or in a testing mode with nearly everything.  He treated his body like an experiment  – from diets, fasts and exercise routines to brutally difficult endurance tests.  He was always tweaking and testing and even in the end, he was treating the cancer as if it was a computer bug that just needed some specific change in the code to fix.  It would be his final challenge, and yet he kept trying one more test. One more result. One more iteration.

Tim Segraves was a great friend and a terrific business partner / cofounder. I’ll miss him greatly – as will the whole Revaluate team, current and past. Going forward, the company is in very good hands with Tim’s brother Austin in this technical leadership role. Together, we will continue to test, iterate and grow – just as Tim wanted.

Services will be held in Lawrence, KS at Warren-McElwain on Fri, January 9th – with a Celebration of life in the Boulder, CO area to follow to be determined.
