Our hearts sadly share the loss of Thomas Clyde Gerdes of Edna, Texas, who went home to the Lord on Monday, December 28th, 2020, unexpectedly at the age of 77. He is survived by the love of his life, wife of 53 1/2 years, Georgia Ann Gerdes, and children Tammy Gerdes and Lisa Letbetter. A simple, humble, down- to- earth man, he dedicated his life to his family, wife, children, grandchildren, friends, and his passion for hunting. Fearless, Loyal, Self-Sacrifice, Determination and Truth defined him. Whether you addressed him as Thomas, Tom, T.C., Daddy, or Mr. Gerdes, he will be remembered for his simple ways, sense of humor, generosity, hunting, and “never give up” attitude. Thomas was born on June 24, 1943 in Edna, Texas to Thomas Melvin Calhoun and Tommie Elizabeth Gerdes. He was deeply loved by his parents, Paul and Tommie Gerdes, Thomas and Charlene Calhoun, and grandparents, Beulah Vaughan and James Eagleton Hoskins. Thomas grew up in Edna where he met the love of his life, Georgia Ann Konvicka. Thomas and Georgia became Edna High School sweethearts and married on April 8th, 1967 at St. Agnes Catholic Church in Edna, Texas. He remained an Edna High School Cowboy fan throughout all his years of life. He was an avid outdoor enthusiast with a unparalleled love for hunting. His hunting adventures included trips to Alaska, Arizona, British Columbia, Colorado, Kodiak Island, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Senora, Texas (with his best buddy, Herman Morris) and so many more. He shared his knowledge and passion of hunting with his grandsons and had a planned Elk hunt in September 2021 which grievously he will not be able to make. His thrill of the outdoors, nature, and legacy of hunting is passed onto his children and grandchildren. Also, Thomas was artistic with a “God given” talent to draw and be creative. He was known for Edna High School yearbook drawings in the 60’s, murals, charcoal portraits of outdoor wildlife, the artful design of cardboard airplanes with his children, and pencil drawings of his “beloved Georgia”. Thomas proudly served in the United States Navy: 11/06/62 to 11/05/68 Naval Reserves, 02/18/64 to 02/17/66 Navy Active Duty as an Airman and Plane Captain in Fighter Squadron VF-111 on board the USS Kitty Hawk CVA-63 and the USS Midway CVA-41 during the Vietnam War. He gained a lifelong friend, Paul Briggs while serving. He carried the pride of his military service throughout his life, one that instilled a duty to God, his country, and family. Decorations: VietNam Service Medal, Navy Unit Commendation Medal, Navy Expeditionary Medal. After his Military Service, he was employed by Alcoa Aluminum Company in Point Comfort, Texas for 35 years where he made some lifelong friends. Along with his beloved wife, Georgia Ann Gerdes and with his two children, Tammy Gerdes and husband, Michael Beardsley, of Barnard, Vermont, and Lisa Letbetter and husband, Kevin, of Inez, Texas. Thomas is survived by his greatest Legacy, his grandchildren: Colton Letbetter, Katelyn Letbetter, Orion Beardsley, Jaedon Beardsley, Annesonia Beardsley, and Sarea Beardsley. Sisters: Martha Gerdes of Spring, Texas, Marlene Yousef and husband, Wally, of Austin, Texas, Christine Fazzolari and husband, Steve, of Lake Oswego, Oregon, Brenda Winger of Eugene, Oregon. Brother: Randy Calhoun of Portland, Oregon. Neices: Erin and Angela Yousef of Austin, Texas, Katlyn Fazzolari of Portland, Oregon, Erica Winger of Eugene, Oregon. Nephew: Dr. Abraham Yousef and wife, Angel, of Amherst, Virginia, Tony Fazzolari of Portland, Oregon, Charlie and Brandon Calhoun of Portland, Oregon. Grand Niece: Ember Yousef of Amherst, Virginia. Grand Nephew: Kumani Winger of Eugene, Oregon. Thomas is preceded in death by his parents: Paul and Tommie Gerdes of Edna, Texas, Thomas and Charlene Calhoun of Portland, Oregon. Grandparents: Beulah Vaughan and James Eagleton Hoskins of Lolita, Texas. Brother-in-law: Jim Winger of Eugene, Oregon.

The family would like to thank Thomas’ longtime physician and friend, Dr. Mehran Nezhad of Victoria, Texas whose compassion, caring heart, and shared faith were a blessing to him.

Ganado--William R. Gill, 75, of Ganado, died early Thursday morning four hours after he sustained serious burns when his hospital room mattress caught fire. However, the cause of Gill's death was undetermined. He was critically ill at the time the fire broke out at 10:45 p. m. Wednesday at Mauritz Memorial-Jackson County Hospital, according to the hospital administrator. The attending physician was out of the city late Thursday. No autopsy was ordered and no inquest was held in the death. Gill died at about 3 a. m. Thursday. Jackson County Sheriff Harvey Reynolds made an investigation and said that Gill smoked and might have been smoking in bed. He said the smoke alarm went off at 10:45 p. m. and a staff member spotted smoke coming from Gill's room, which is on the main wing. He said Mrs. Opal Hahn, a nurse's aide, sustained burns on her hands putting out the smoldering mattress. The sheriff commended Ganado firemen who helped move other patients out of the area of Gill's room. Graveside services will be held at 3 p. m. Friday in Ganado City Cemetery under the direction of Psencik Funeral Home. Surviving is a daughter, Jeanelle Gill of Carrollton. Victoria Advocate, April 26, 1974 Last Rites Held For Ganado Man Ganado--Graveside services were held here Friday for William R. Gill, 75, of Ganado who died Thursday morning four hours after sustaining severe burns when his hospital room mattress caught fire. The cause of death was not immediately determined, since he was critically ill at the time of the mattress fire Wednesday night in Mauritz Memorial-Jackson County Hospital. The attending physician said Friday that death resulted from second and third degree burns over about 70 per cent of Gill's body. He said an investigation by the hospital administration showed Gill was not given cigarettes by the hospital personnel. However he liked to smoke, and due to his critical condition, visitors sometimes gave him cigarettes. He said it is believed he had secured a cigarette and the bedding and mattress caught fire from that or the match he used to light it. Gill was born March 19, 1899 in Paris, Tex. He is survived by one daughter, Jeanelle Gill of Carrollton. The Rev. Aubrey Knox officiated at the services in the Ganado City Cemetery conducted by Psencik Funeral Home.

J. D. Greenawalt, 91, of Palacios, Texas, went to be with the Lord on September 29, 2020 after a short illness. He was born on May 5, 1929 in Edna, Texas to Albert Felix and Sadie Mae Hart Greenawalt. He was married to Isabel Louise Abrahamson Greenawalt on September 4, 1953. They just recently celebrated their 67th wedding anniversary. J. D. graduated from Palacios High School in 1947 and served in the United States Air Force from 1950 to 1954. He worked for Alcoa for over 30 years developing many life-long friendships there. J. D. was fiercely devoted to his wife and family. He gave credit to his wife Isabel for being the greatest influence for good in his life and said that she was the glue that held the family together. Dad was proud of his children, doted on his grandchildren and great-grandchildren and loved his many nieces and nephews. Virtues Dad was known for include honesty, fidelity, and a strong work ethic. Dad often talked about the value of a strong work ethic and he considered it a “redeeming virtue” for other character flaws. Dad had a gift for storytelling and he loved to laugh. We all knew his stories by heart. Because of Dad’s stories we had an idea what it was like to grow up during the depression, to live during the war years, and to see life as he experienced it. Through his stories we got to know our grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins in a more intimate way. We also gained a greater appreciation for the many friends who have made our lives so rich. If you were lucky enough to spend time with Dad at work, in a hunting camp, at a field trial, on the golf course, or any number of other activities…it is likely that you were in some of Dad’s stories. J. D. loved life and lived it to the full. He told his children that you live life every day and that you don’t wait until you retire to start living. Because of that philosophy, his family and friends are flooded with memories from all the things that he did with us and for us. Over the years his hobbies included field trialing (he especially loved dogs), hunting, boat racing, golf, and reading. Dad was especially well known as a dog trainer having raised and trained National Champion pointers. J.
