  1. Candle 7Rest in peace my friend! We had great times playing baseball growing up. What a great athlete you were! The Mustangs will miss their biggest fan!
    —Jimmy Davis

  2. Candle 6Uncle TK was a very kind hearted man and was always willing to take the time to coach & sponsor the local teams, instruct you on how to execute a cross over in the low post (even if you were one of the shortest kids in your class…me), send skateboards for Christmas from San Pedro long before skateboarding was a actually a thing in the rest of the country (also me). Selflessly, he moved back to Hughes Springs to take care of his mother, Miss Enid (“Marner”) in retirement. Rest easy, TK. You’ll be missed.

  3. Uncle TK was a big kid at heart whose laughter and playful energy were contagious. He loved playing games with his nieces and nephews – whether it was darts, cards, dominoes or pool, Uncle TK made every moment fun.
