Galen Ray Weiershausen, 70, of San Angelo went to be with the Lord on Monday, March 2, 2026, in San Angelo. Galen was born July 27, 1955, in Ysleta, TX to Erwin Walter and Carolyn Behrends Weiershausen. He grew up in San Angelo, Texas and graduated from Central High School. After high school, he attended Angelo State University and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in AG Science. Galen workednumerous jobs in his lifetime. He was one of the original EMT’s that started working for the San Angelo Fire Department. He also farmed and ranched in the family business with his father. Galen became a talented carpenter and started his companies, Angelo Cabinets and later, Benchmark Homes. He met and later married the love of his life Nancy Ann Ferguson on August 19, 1989, and they shared 36 wonderful years. Together they raised two children, Cody and Taylor in San Angelo. In his spare time, when he wasn’t building great homes, Galen loved to go fishing, trapping and hunting. Anyone who knew Galen, knew on any given day you could find him on a lake with a fishing pole in his hand. He especially loved competing in tournaments with his buddies through bass clubs and other fishing trails. However, nothing brought him more joy than watching Cody and Taylor compete in sports from childhood through high school years. Whether you needed a laugh or life advice, you could count on him to welcome you with quick wit, plentiful stories, and a how-to guide for anything you needed. His work ethic and stubbornness was unmatched and there’s too many qualities to name that will be missed by those that loved him.

With heavy hearts and thankful spirits for a life well lived, we honor the memory of Sammy Lee Goodloe Sr., a beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, cousin, and grandfather whose roots ran deep in Big Lake, Texas. Born on February 4, 1951, and called home on February 26, 2026, his life was marked by faith, grit, laughter, and a steadfast love for his family and community.

Known for his easy smile, steady handshake, and unwavering faith, Sammy left a lasting mark on everyone who crossed his path. For 58 years, he worked in and around the oil fields of Big Lake, believing in honest work, long days, and taking care of his own. He started out with a roustabout gang, later drove trucks hauling oil and water, took early retirement from Marathon Oil as a dedicated pumper, and later retired from Discovery Natural Resources as a respected foreman. Long before and in between, he was a hard worker in every sense of the word- busting suds, mowing lawns, and doing whatever it took to provide. He showed up daily with grit, determination, and humor.

He was preceded in death by his precious daughter, Demetria; his son, Sammy Jr., whom he carried in his heart every single day; and his beloved parents, Maurice and Betty Goodloe.

He is survived by his devoted wife of 26 years, Toni (lovingly known as “Mama G”)whom he married on June 1, 2001. Together they built a beautiful life at “The Ranch” in Burnet, Texas, surrounded by their cherished fur babies, Cha Cha, Peanut, and Scrappy. He is also survived by his children: Shawn, Tammy, Ebony, Sarah, Mandy, and Will; his loving brother, Billy Rose; and a wide circle of grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family, and dear friends who were blessed to call him theirs.

Family meant everything to him. Summers and family reunions were spent at Fort Clark Springs in Brackettville, Texas, gathering at “The School Yard,” sharing stories, laughter, and honoring their heritage. As a direct descendant of the Black Seminole Indians and connected to the scout association, he carried deep pride in his roots and passed that legacy on with honor.

When he wasn’t working, you could find him riding his road motorcycle down an open highway, tending a smoker full of the best BBQ around, perfecting his hot sauce recipe, or stirring a pot of menudo made with love. And if it was a sunny day, chances were he was on the golf course. To his golfing buddies he was affectionately referred to him as “Goodie” and “Goodie Two Shoes”. He was more than a playing partner. He was the storyteller in the cart, the encourager on the green, and the friend who made every round better.

His servant’s heart extended beyond family and friends. He was awarded a Red Cross Certificate of Merit for saving a child’s life after finding a mother in distress as her child choked on a piece of candy. Without hesitation, he stepped in just as he always did steady, calm, and courageous.

Above all, he was a man of faith. His life was a testament to simple, enduring truths: work hard, love your family, help your neighbor, and keep your faith close. He trusted the Lord through every season and now rests in the peace he so often spoke about.

In true Southern fashion, we won’t say goodbye, just “see you later, Goodie.” We take comfort knowing he’s found the finest fairway in Heaven, where the greens are true, the sun is warm, and the company is everlasting.

“Well done, good and faithful servant.”

Visitation will be held at Bethlehem Baptist Church, 501 S California Ave, Big Lake, Texas, on March 7, 2026, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. A Funeral Service will immediately follow at 1:30 pm.

Born on December 31, 1943, to her parents, Cresencio & Oralia Rodriguez, and become the beloved younger sister to Olga Satterfield (Rodriguez). Hortencia brought strength and determination to every season of life. In her younger years, she was an athlete who enjoyed competing in volleyball, basketball, and track—early signs of the steady drive and resilience that would continue to define her.

Hortencia retired from the medical field in 2017 so she could focus on and enjoy her family, a decision that reflected her devoted nature and the priority she always placed on those she loved most.

In 1964, Hortencia married Rudy Rodriguez. Together, they built a family that remained at the center of her life. She was the proud mother of three children: Sandra Rodriguez, Brenda Martinez, and Carol Rodriguez.

She also held dear to her heart her sister, Olga Satterfield, and her niece and nephew, Michelle Brouse (Steve) and Jeff Martinez. She is preceded in death by her parents Cresencio & Oralia Rodriguez

Hortencia found joy in the simple and meaningful moments of daily life—gardening, baking, and finding new recipes to try. She enjoyed watching her crime shows, including Blue Bloods, Murder She Wrote, and Matlock. She also loved going to Texas Ranger games, watching the Dallas Cowboys, going to church, and being present for any family gathering.

Known for her big heart and great sense of humor, Hortencia was crafty and creative, and she loved donating to others. Kind and strong, she was a fiercely independent woman who treated “it can’t be done” as a challenge—an attitude that inspired those around her and remains a lasting part of her legacy.

The family extends sincere gratitude to her honorary daughter Holly Hyde for always checking in and being there for her, loving her, and taking her the Mexican food from Hidalgos she always craved. To the staff at Cedar Manor and Shannon Hospital, and Johnson's Funeral Home for their exceptional care of our mother and guiding us through this process.
