Harvey Prentice (HP) Williams, 81, formerly of Eola, Texas, passed away peacefully in his sleep on September 17, 2019. Harvey was currently living in the Woodhaven Senior Living Community in Conroe, Texas, with his wife of 60 years, Peggy Trotter Williams. Born on September 27, 1937, to Millie Bubenik Williams and Prentice Paul Williams of Vancourt, Harvey lived most of his life in Tom Green and Concho Counties, graduating from Eola Rural High School in 1956 and Sul Ross State College in 1960, also attending San Angelo College and Texas Tech. Following college, Harvey, along with his wife and daughter, returned to Concho County. He and Miss Peg lived there until his health declined. Two years ago, they moved to Conroe to be closer to their daughter and her family. Harvey worked in the agricultural business all of his life, learning well not only about raising cotton, maize, and wheat but also soaking up all the knowledge he could about horses, cattle, sheep, dogs, and any other living creature. He loved the ranch life, all its freedoms, and its burdens. When he was in his pasture with his herd, he was home. For a few years, when crops and cash were lean, Harvey felt he should rely on his teaching certification to ease the family budget. Teaching biology, chemistry, and physical science at Eola School, he forged treasured friendships with his students that lasted throughout his lifetime. A member of the Wall Brethren Church, he served on the Board of Elders with a solid and true dedication to his duties. Harvey was also a board member of Central Texas Telephone Company. He signed the contract for mobile service to come to the Concho Valley. He only asked for a free cell phone for the rest of his life in return for his successful negotiations. He didn’t get it, but it didn’t stop him from telling everyone he spoke with at Central Texas that he thought he should have one! He served on countless other boards and committees, always a voice of reason and balance, always making decisions with his head and a good dose of heart. Harvey is survived by his wife, Peggy Trotter Williams (Miss Peg), his daughter and her husband, Janelle Williams Welch and Terry Welch of The Woodlands, Texas, his devoted granddaughter, Lindsey Webb, and her husband, Jimmy Grumbles of The Woodlands, TX, and three bonus granddaughters, whom he has loved well and they him for the last 17 years, and their husbands, Brandi and Brian Gratton of Venetia, PA, Kari and Aaron Cancino of Lake Jackson, TX, Dr. Jacob and Kelsi Van Fleet of Bremerton, WA. Also surviving him is his much-loved great-granddaughter, Sailor Grumbles, and bonus great-grandchildren, Brynn Grumbles, Carter and Jackson Gratton, Aaden and Kinsley Cancino, and Hudson Van Fleet. Harvey is also survived by his sister, Joan Friend, and her husband, Clayton Friend, his sisters-in-law, Jeanette Gunter and her husband George Gunter, and Vivian McMullan, his brother-in-law Ed Trotter and his wife, Gayla Trotter. Harvey also has numerous nieces and nephews who will serve as pallbearers and honorary pallbearers. They are Clay Friend, Zane Friend, Todd Friend, Mitchell McMullan, Ezra Trotter, Jayson Williams, Alicia McMullan Lyles, Diane Gunter Sullivan, Jennifer Gunter Havens, Judge Kim Trotter Halfmann, Tandi Trotter Cox, and Tona Trotter Calvert. Services for Harvey will be held Friday, Sept. 20, 2019, at 10:00 am at The Wall Brethren Church, Wall, Texas. Following lunch in the Fellowship Hall prepared by the Christian Sisters, burial will take place in the Eola Cemetery. The family would like to thank the management and staff of Woodhaven Senior Living Community and Whispering Pines Memory Care Unit, Devotions Hospice, and SureCare Home Health. Harvey has delivered many meals for the Concho Valley Meals for the Elderly. It suited him well because he never met anyone with whom he could not or would not talk. In lieu of flowers and if it be your wish, the family requests your charitable donation be sent to Meals for the Elderly, the Wall Brethren Church or any charity of your choice. Family and friends may sign an online guestbook at www.johnsons-funeralhome.com

Murray “Monk” Alexander McKay, 96, of San Angelo went to be with his Lord and Savior on Thursday, September 12, 2019, in his home with family by his side. He was a beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend to many. He never met a stranger, and he never failed to make you smile. He was a sincere encourager and his attitude toward life was beyond optimistic.

Murray was born was born August 28, 1923 in Tahoka, TX. He is preceded in death by his loving wife of 67 years, Shirley Lossing McKay, his mother, Alice McDaniel, siblings Clyde Mckay, Izetta Walker, an infant son, and an infant daughter.

Murray was a World War II veteran having served in the Navy on the USS San Clemente in the South Pacific from 1942 thru 1945. Upon his return home, he worked at Martin Glover where he met his wife, Shirley Lossing. He began his career as a carpenter with his father-in-law, Frank Lossing, and later moved on to work for Ted Brown. He eventually branched out on his own and became a building contractor. His hands have built or remodeled a large part of San Angelo. He was also a highly skilled woodworker and enjoyed crafting furniture, clocks, bowls, goblets, and pens in his shop at home. He loved hunting and fishing, often out-fishing his fishing buddies. He loved gardening and had the best vegetable garden every summer, along with a gorgeous show of wild flowers in the spring and an abundant pecan crop in the fall. He delighted in sharing all of these with his family, friends and neighbors. Monk’s other favorite hobbies were playing games, especially dominos with his buddies and Wahoo and cards with family, golf, and puzzles. Everyone that challenged him to a game knew they probably wouldn’t win, but would have plenty of laughs and fun.

Murray is survived by his children and their spouses, Ronnie McKay and Linda, Barbara Lycan and Steve, Linda Strickland and Barney; son-in-law Robert Wood and Kathryn; sister, Ada Fleming; 8 grandchildren and spouses; 18 great grandchildren; and 6 great-great grandchildren.
