It is with great sadness that Segovia's announces the sudden passing of our friend and bartender, Chris Vaughn. Chris was best known for his easygoing manner and genuine soul but he will also be remembered for his skills as a chef and his delicious contributions to our feeds on special events, namely Thanksgiving. We will miss Chris very much and our hearts go out to his family and those who were lucky enough to call him a close personal friend. R.I.P. Chris Vaughn.
