Joel “Joey” Wayne Halfmann, 59, passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of his family after a hard-fought battle with prostate cancer, which he was diagnosed with in 2019. Joey faced every challenge with grit, determination, and unwavering faith in God, never allowing his illness to take away the strength and spirit that defined him.

Born on February 16, 1967, in San Angelo to Tex and Barbara Halfmann, Joey was raised with the values of hard work, loyalty, and faith that he carried proudly throughout his life. He graduated from Garden City High School before attending Texas State Technical Institute. Joey went on to dedicate many years of service to Concho Valley Electric Cooperative before retiring, where he earned the respect of coworkers and friends alike for his unmatched work ethic, intelligence, and willingness to help anyone in need.

Joey was the definition of a man’s man. Tough, hardworking, and dependable, there truly wasn’t anything he couldn’t do. If something was broken, Joey could fix it. If something needed building, he could build it better than anyone else. He was the kind of man who could figure out anything with his own two hands and never backed down from hard work. People naturally gravitated toward him for advice because chances were, Joey already knew how to do it, and do it right.

The outdoors was where Joey felt most at home. Hunting and fishing weren’t just hobbies to him; they were a way of life. He was especially known for making varmint calls and had a remarkable talent for it. Joey owned and operated Hairy Legged Critter Calls, where he handcrafted and sold varmint calls, combining his creativity, craftsmanship, and love for the outdoors into something he was deeply passionate about. He was also a licensed firearm manufacturer who built and repaired guns with incredible precision and skill. Joey took pride in his craftsmanship, and anyone who knew him knew the care and talent he put into everything he touched.

He was an exceptional marksman, the kind of shooter people talked about with admiration. From 100 yards away, Joey’s shots could group within the size of a dime — a reflection of the patience, focus, and precision he carried into every part of his life. There was never a challenge too big for him to tackle or a skill he couldn’t master once he set his mind to it.

Above all else, Joey loved his family fiercely. He married the love of his life, Janet Halfmann, in 2004, and together they built a life centered around love, faith, family, and devotion to one another. Joey was a devoted husband, loving father, proud son and brother, and the very best “JoJo.” His family was his greatest pride and greatest joy. He was the kind of man who would do absolutely anything for the people he loved.

Some of the best memories made with Joey were the simple moments — sitting outside listening to his stories, learning from him without even realizing it, laughing together, or simply enjoying his presence. Joey never met a stranger. He had a gift for conversation and storytelling, making everyone around him feel welcome, valued, and like an old friend the moment they met him.

Joey was also a devout Catholic whose faith remained steadfast throughout his entire life. His relationship with God guided the way he lived, loved, worked, and cared for others. Throughout his battle with cancer, he leaned heavily on his faith and trusted the Lord through every difficult moment. His strength, courage, and unwavering belief were an inspiration to everyone around him. Even in the face of hardship, Joey remained strong for his family and continued to live with grace, humility, and resilience.

To know Joey was to know loyalty, wisdom, strength, humor, and unconditional love. Though his family’s hearts are broken by this tremendous loss, they find comfort in knowing he is now healed and at peace in the presence of the Lord he trusted so deeply. The stories he told, the lessons he taught, the memories he created, and the love he gave so freely will live on forever in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

Joey was preceded in death by his grandparents Mack and Emma Halfmann and Clarence(CJ) and Eugenia Lange.

He is survived by his wife Janet Halfmann and their chosen children Bella Halfmann(Kaleb) and Riley Jetton. His step children Linsey Floyd(Shane) and Micah Floyd(Bethany) and grandchildren Althea and Vada Floyd. His parents, Tex and Barbara Halfmann, his 3 sisters Lisa Michalewicz, Jackie Droll(Dale), Suzie Dusek(Edward), and brother Russel Halfmann(Kim). He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews and aunts and uncles.

Joel “Joey” Wayne Halfmann was truly one of a kind — deeply loved, greatly admired, and impossible to forget.

He has gone to be with his maker and will be greatly missed by everyone whose lives he had touched. " God saw you were getting tired and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around you and whispered ‘Come to Me’ with tearful eyes we watched you and saw you pass away and though we love you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best." -Shirley Lee Evans

Jennifer Lorraine Crimm, of San Angelo, passed away on May 5, 2026. Born on September 7, 1986. Jennifer lived boldly, loudly, lovingly, and unapologetically herself every single day.

Jennifer was the daughter of Kathryn Crimm and Michael Crimm and Bonus Mom Janice Crimm, beloved sister to Jessica Crimm, and proud aunt to Layla Arledge whom she lovingly referred to as Short Stack. She was preceded in death by her sister Virginia Smalley and her Uncle Bob and cousin Tracy Rudloff and Aunt Kay and cousin Joel Byrd, all of whom no doubt welcomed her with laughter and hugs on the other side.

A 2004 graduate of Lake View High School, Jennifer spent her life wearing many hats - and many uniforms, there was no job too hard for Jennifer, from caregiver to Sales Associate. No matter where she worked, Jennifer left an impression that people never forgot.

To know Jennifer was to know laughter. Walking into a room with her was less of an entrance and more of an event announcement. She had a gift for finding humor in even the most serious situations, often making people laugh when they least expected it - and probably when they were trying hardest not to. But beyond the jokes and playful spirit was someone deeply compassionate, dependable, and loving. When life became difficult, Jennifer had a way of making sure you didn't carry anything by yourself.

Jennifer found joy in simple things: barbecuing outside, sitting by the water with a cold drink in hand, throwing darts, and singing loud and proud without a care who heard her. Her beloved cat, Onya, and dog, Hulk, were her babies, and she loved them fiercely. Jennifer loved hard, and if she loved you, there was never any question about it - she made sure you knew.

Though her absence leaves an ache that words cannot fully express, Jennifer's laughter, stories, and larger-than-life spirit will continue to live on in everyone fortunate enough to have known her.

Services will be held at Robert Massie Funeral Home May 11, 2026 at 11:00 AM. Burial will follow at Eden Cemetery under the direction of Robert Massie Funeral Home.

"Some people quietly leave footprints on your heart. Jennifer kicked the door open, made everybody laugh, and left rainbow glitter everywhere."

Throughout his life, Ramon’s devotion to family remained at the center of who he was. He also found genuine joy in the things he could build, fix, and improve—especially cars. A great mechanic and an expert plumber, he approached each task with capable hands and the kind of know-how that comes from experience, patience, and a clear-eyed, honest way of seeing the world.

Ramon enjoyed farming, mechanics, poker, and dominos—simple pleasures that suited a man who valued good company, straightforward conversation, and a well-earned laugh. He was passionate about football and was an avid Eagles fan. Those who knew him best will remember his quick wit and the way he loved to make people laugh.
