It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Gabriel “Gabe” Bullock, age 72, who passed at Shannon Medical Center in San Angelo, Texas, on Thursday, January 29, 2026. Despite many health challenges, Gabe fought with unwavering courage and grace. He was a cherished son, brother and friend.

Gabe was employed at both the Red Lobster 409 and Long John Silver’s restaurants in San Angelo. He was an enthusiastic supporter of the University of Texas at Austin Longhorns and a devoted Dallas Cowboys fan.

In addition, Gabe is mourned by his aunts, their extended families, members of the San Angelo community, and numerous friends.

Gabe made a lasting impact on everyone, fortunate enough to know him. His kindness, caring nature, unforgettable smile, and giving heart will never be forgotten. Gabe maintained a strong commitment to his Christian faith and consistently demonstrated its principles in his life. While we grieve his absence, the love, resilience, and empathy he shared continue to inspire each of us.

William Alan Rees

02/02/2026 - 09:31 , by TKing09
William Alan Rees, age 71, of San Angelo, Texas, passed away on January 27, 2026.

Alan was born to John C. Rees and Bess Anderson Rees. He lived a life marked by service, gratitude, and deep love for his family and faith. He was the devoted husband of Virginia Elaine Rees, whom he cherished deeply and was most proud to call his lovely bride.

He was a loving father to his six children. Rebekah Rees; David Rees wife Sharon; Sarah Rees; William Ariel Rees wife Sloan, granddaughter Laramie; John Rees; and Ben Rees. Above all else, Alan was most proud of his family and spoke of them with constant gratitude and joy.

He is also survived by his brother, Kenneth Rees.

Alan faithfully served his country as a pilot in the United States Air Force for seven years. Followed by seven years with the Tennessee Air National Guard, where he picked up the name “Big Al” for his ability to make everyone laugh regardless of the task at hand. After serving his country for fourteen years he began his twenty five year career with FedEx, where his strong work ethic and integrity were evident to all who worked alongside him.

Outside of work, Alan found joy riding his motorcycle, photographing sunsets, and going to breakfast with his brother. His greatest passion was his faith—he loved spreading the word of Jesus and never missed an opportunity to pray with others. Alan ended each random encounter with His familiar words “What’s your favorite hymn? Let’s sing it, say a prayer and pass the hat,” people always laughed when he took the hat off his head and literally passed his hat. These words will be fondly remembered by all who knew him.

Alan was known for his thankful heart, his willingness to help anyone in need, and the steady, quiet strength he carried through life. He lived with gratitude and left a legacy of faith, service, and love.

Visitation will be held Friday, January 30, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. All are welcome to attend the graveside service at Lawnhaven at 3:00 p.m.

Alan “Big Al” will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered until the day all are reunited again.

Robert Stevan Wickson

02/02/2026 - 09:24 , by TKing09

Robert Stevan “Steve” Wickson, passed peacefully from this world into the next in the early morning hours of January 29, 2026. He was born September 25, 1962 to Vernon and Della Mae Wickson of Menard, TX. He and his sister, Carolyn, were raised in a house full of love, laughter, and most importantly – family. His parents and sister were waiting with open arms to greet him this morning.

Steve is survived by numerous nieces and nephews, cousins, his aunt Jan Castleman, and his “Auntie Babe” Barbara Kolb with whom he has an especially close bond. He also leaves behind close friends, Frankie Evans and Donnie Briley, among other too numerous to name.

Steve was an unapologetic LSU fan, loved a good plate of fried catfish, and the only thing bigger than his laugh was his mustache!

In accordance with his wishes, there will be no funeral. Remember Steve and celebrate his life by talking too loud, laughing too much, telling lots of crazy stories, and spending time with loved ones.

“Now he drives the streets of Heaven on the trucker’s last ride; may God ride with you. 10-4 and goodbye”

“When I stand before God at the end of my life I would hope that I would have not a single bit of talent left and could say, I used everything you gave me”. Erma Bombeck said this but it is absolutely my MOM! My warrior mom and her beautiful bright light that emanated from her is now in the arms of Jesus! Her first day on earth was November 21, 1931 - her last day was January 28, 2026. 94 years of life fully lived! She had a spirit of boldness, kindness, never give up, and of so much love – for everyone. She lived her motto of – It is not hard to be nice to nice people. Mom was a lifelong follower of Jesus and his saving grace!

Mom’s bright shining light was extinguished on Wednesday, January 28, 2026. Her life fully lived on earth now over. But her new life in the arms of Jesus and in heaven is just beginning. Along with the heavenly reunion with Aunt Ruby, Granny & Grandaddy, Aunt Waldine, Debbie, the 2 children she miscarried and lots and lots of people who loved her. Plus her special pup Baby who met her at the rainbow bridge.

People of all ages were drawn to mom’s bright beautiful light that emanated from within her. She had friends of all ages and was filled with God’s love – it poured out of her into anyone nearby. Even in the last days of her life to the lady at San Angelo Nursing and Rehab who mopped the floors in mom’s room – she turned to me and said your mom is so sweet – she thanked me for cleaning her room and blew me a kiss.

THE DASH – the time between when you were born and when you die. Mom’s DASH was 94 years! Mother was born in Victoria, Texas on November 21, 1931 during the height of the depression. She told the story of how the soles of her daddy’s shoes were worn through from him walking and walking and walking trying to find work so he could feed his family. Mom said she realized later that there were many times her mom went without food so she and her 2 sisters could eat. They were starving but they did not know it.. “we were poor and just thought everyone was poor”.

Mom was a singer, songwriter, accordion player, piano and keyboard player. Music was a big part of mom’s life from the time she was a little girl. They lived on the Brosig ranch in Paint Rock and would go camping along the Concho River. Mom and her sister Ruby would sing. Soon there were boats coming along the river to listen to them sing. Mom won a yodeling contest when she was 5. Mom and Aunt Ruby won a singing contest at Texas Theater when they were very young – singing “Don’t fence me in.”

Mom learned to play the accordion at a very young age. Later in life, mom and her sister, Ruby formed the twosome “The Squeezebox Sisters”. They played their accordions at various functions, nursing homes, weddings, etc around the state and people still remember them even though they have not been a twosome since Ruby passed away in 1999. Bob Phillips with Texas Country Reporter did a story on the two of them filmed at Ruby’s house.

Mom was the post it note Queen. She had post it notes all over the dash of her car and in the house. One day when she arrived home and got out of the car, Jim came to help. He found a post it note on the ground that said Get Out of Car. He laughingly told her it’s pretty sad that you need a note to remind yourself to get out of the car. Mom said she had attached to something she needed to take out of the car.

Mom was all about her hair, her nails and always looking her absolute best. She was a beautiful woman. When she was in the ER after breaking her hip and laying on the bed – she looked at me asked if her hair looked okay – I told it looked great. During her stay in the hospital and then at San Angelo Nursing and Rehab – almost everyone commented on her curls and how nice her hair looked and how nice her nails were with the hearts on her 4th finger. No one could believe that she was 94.

My mother was a warrior. God broke the mold when He made her. She was shot in the leg at 19. Mom was in sales during the 1960’s when mothers stayed at home.

Was proudest and cherished her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Maintained grades so good at Lowake School she skipped 3rd grade to 4th grade.

Contestant for Mrs. Senior San Angelo & Mrs. Senior Texas in Dallas (3rd runner up).

Assistant Sales Mgr at Connie’s Dress Shop.

Worked at Hemphill Wells in lingerie.

Model of fur coats for Hemphill Wells.

Grand Regent Catholic Daughters at Wall, TX .

Managed Office at Hoelscher Gin.

Took Dale Carnegie course in Los Angeles.

Earned GED.

Taught CCD classes St. Ambrose Wall, TX.

Wrote San Angelo Waltz at 18 and recorded it 72 years later at the age of 90.

Stage IV colon cancer survivor for 20 + years

Closer for my presentations about blood donation with a song she wrote about blood donation & being a cancer survivor.

Folded tens of thousands of blood donor tshirts for United Blood Services/Vitalant

Mom is survived by her children Steven Kadlacek (Diane) and Linda Grace (Darrell Freeman). Grandchildren Cory Kadlacek (Lisa) and Nicholas Kadlacek (Stasey), Cayla Freeman, Tyler Freeman, Megan Green (Skyler) great grandchildren: Colton Kadlacek, Alyssa Kadlacek, Hadley Kadlacek, Laryn Green, Layton Green & Landry Green.

Mary Rose Barnett Butts

02/02/2026 - 09:16 , by TKing09

Mary Rose Barnett Butts, 93, passed away peacefully in San Angelo, Texas on January 27, 2026. She was born in Wharton, Texas on December 20, 1932, to Mary Ethel Ada Barnett and William Frances Barnett. She was preceded in death by her parents, three brothers, Norman Barnett, Kelsie Barnett, and Emmett Barnett, and one sister, Emma Lou Barnett Childs.

Mary loved her family. Her daughters and granddaughters were the joy of her life. She loved travel and adventure, taking wonderful trips with her daughters to New York, London, France, Italy, Spain, and other exciting destinations.

She loved literature and was an avid reader and gifted storyteller. Her children’s books included a walking, talking rabbit who befriended a little girl in “The Adventures of Summer and Abby.” In “Thirty-Seven Dinosaurs,” the forest was alive with Dudley and his dinosaur gang and their friend Brooke. She wrote plays in which puppets became real live children, song lyrics including “When Love Ends”, and “Let’s Dance,” and poetry which beautifully captured every milestone in the lives of her loved ones. “Don’t Fall off the Carousel Horse,” was her first published novel which she co-wrote with her daughter, Lisa.

Mary loved her Lord and taught her daughters about Him, led them to salvation in Christ, and taught them to pray without ceasing. She was a Sunday School teacher, a Girls Missions Auxiliary leader, and led a puppet ministry for the children.

Mary embodied the spirit of a true Southern lady. She loved all things beautiful - whether a perfectly set table, soft linens, or elegant attire – and carried that love of beauty into every aspect of her life. Her presence was marked by warmth, grace, and a quiet elegance.

Mary is survived by her husband, Bill Butts, two daughters, Susan Parker and husband Larry, and Lisa Sotherlund and husband Scott, two granddaughters, Summer Martin and husband Jason, and Brooke Jensen and husband Bobby, four great grandchildren, Kyle Martin, Kadence Martin, Memphis Jensen and Maverick Jensen, and stepson Norman Butts, and wife Becky.

There will be a visitation where you can come pay your respects and visit with the family on Friday, February 6th, from 5pm-7pm at Harper Funeral Home. Mary's funeral service will be held on Saturday, February 7th at 10am, also at Harper Funeral Home with burial to follow at Lawnhaven Memorial Gardens.
