Wilfredo De Jesús passed away peacefully in his sleep Thursday, May 2, 2019. Originally named Wilfidio, he was born to parents, Tomás and Robustina Ramos De Jesus, on October 12, 1922 in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico. As a young man, Wilfidio had the aspiration to "live the American dream." At the age of 16, Wilfidio pursued this dream and moved to NYC with pennies to his name. Upon reaching Ellis Island, he was renamed Wilfredo De Jesús. Although coming to the States with a limited education he did not let this stop him. Wilfredo accomplished much throughout his life, attending technical school for radio and television, working as a seafood chef at renowned NYC hotel and holding several positions at a hospital. However, according to him, one of his greatest accomplishments was finding the love of his life, Carmen. M. Salaman. They were married on September 11, 1948, resulting in two daughters: Carmen Dory De Jesús (Hayes) and Lillian De Jesús (Garza) 

Wilfredo had a well-known reputation for his love and generosity. He often could be heard saying, "there's a bed and food if you need it” to many visiting guests! No one left his home with an empty stomach as he loved to cook. Wilfredo found true purpose, though, when he began studying the bible with Jehovah’s Witnesses. He dedicated his life to serving Jehovah on November 26, 1960 and was baptized. He touched many lives as one of Jehovah's faithful and dedicated shepherds and stored up many “treasures in heaven." (Matthew 6:20) After raising his two daughters, Wilfredo again showed the love and generosity he was known for when he adopted his niece, Jessica De Jesús (Ybarra), and raised her as his own daughter. 

Wilfredo endured much throughout his life, burying his two daughters and his beloved wife before his own passing. Yet, his faith did not waver and he strongly believed in Jehovah's promise of a resurrection and a beautiful life on a paradise Earth. (Revelation 21:4) Wilfredo lived a life full of zest for almost a century until he passed away at 96 years of age. He loved to garden and bravely did so in the unforgiving West Texas heat. He was a lively storyteller and brought joy and laughter to all who had the pleasure of his company! Wilfredo leaves behind a sister, two brothers, adopted daughter and many cousins, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and one great grandson. It is our hope and conviction that he is safe in God’s memory and we will see him again joined by his two daughters and wife in the resurrection. There we will embrace them all with tears of joy in our eyes! (John 5:28, 29) 

We wish to give thanks to the personnel at SageCrest for making Wilfredo feel at home and carrying for him as if part of their own family. 

A memorial service will be held at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 2021 Pulliam St., San Angelo, TX at 2 PM, Saturday May 25, 2019.

Dr. Jay Kay “Jeep” Amburgey, 83, passed away peacefully in his home on Tuesday, May 7, 2019, surrounded by family and friends. 

A "Celebration of Life" will be Saturday, May 18, 2019, at 11:00 AM at First United Methodist Church, 37 E Beauregard Ave. There will be a reception at the church immediately following the service. Cremation and arrangements are under the direction of Robert Massie Funeral Home. 

Jay was born in Odessa, Texas on September 19, 1935 to Jay Dee and Jamae Amburgey. When he was four, his family moved to Casa Grande, Arizona where he spent most of his youth working on ranches and developing his love for the cowboy way of life. He returned to Odessa at seventeen and graduated from Odessa High School in 1954. Following graduation, he worked on his family’s ranch before joining the U.S Army where he served for two years in Nellingen, Germany. 

Following his service in the military, he pursued his education at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, New Mexico where he received his Bachelor of Science in Mathematics. He then went on to obtain both his Master’s degree and PhD from Texas Tech University in Lubbock. 

After completing his PhD, Jay began his career teaching at Wayland Baptist University in Plainview. He then moved his family to San Angelo where he began his thirty-seven-year career as a Math Professor at Angelo State University. In addition to earning his tenure, Jay helped create a gifted math program for elementary students- MESA (Math Excellence in San Angelo); a partnership between San Angelo ISD and the Angelo State University Math Department, which allowed elementary students the opportunity to attend classes at ASU. Jay touched so many lives through his teaching, tutoring, and mentoring. 

Upon his retirement from Angelo State University in 2005, he returned to his cowboy roots and bought property outside Christoval and named it Lone Oak Ranch. He built his bunkhouse and a barrage of barns and shops. Jay never grew tired of building roads, clearing land, mending fences, digging ditches, and “chopping rocks”. 

Jay had many passions in life that included arrowhead hunting, motocross racing, backpacking in Big Bend, dancing, traveling, skiing, goldmining, and playing his banjo, just to name a few. 

Jay’s good looks and southern charm endeared him to many. He will be profoundly missed by his family and friends. He was an inspiration to all with his high-octane energy, razor-sharp wit, and his ability to share his endless “tall tales” to anyone who would listen. 

It would be impossible to remember Jay without acknowledging his profound faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Over the last six years, he could be found every Sunday studying the Bible for hours with family and friends at his daughter’s house. There is no need to wonder what he trusted. Till the end of his time here, he strived to tell all “believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31 KJV). 

Jeep is survived by Holly, his love for the last 22 years; his son, Dalton Amburgey; his daughters, Javaun Amburgey, and Vickie Shaw and her husband Keith; his granddaughter, Alexis Amburgey, his sister, Gwendolyn Sue Davis and half-brother Shane Amburgey; his nieces, Kathleen Bouscal, and Auna Hallford; his nephews, Joel Allen, Sam Allen, and Kim Hallford. He is also survived by his stepchildren, Robert Snoddy and his children, Logan, and Freeman; and Shani Snoddy and her children Ajhalei, Idrissa, and Daveon. 

Jeep is preceded in death by his parents and sister, DeAun Britt; nieces, Becky Root and Karen Trout; and nephew Steve Hallford. 

We would also like to extend a special thanks to Pam, Cleo and Leslie with Kindred Hospice for their compassionate care and support. 

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the charity of their choice. 

Honorary Pall Bearers will be Joel Allen, Floyd “Bub” Amburgey, Ray Barela, Bill Henderson, Ed McElrath, Ed Olsen, Morgan Riley, Tom Schultz, Johnny Van Court, and Craig Wescott.

Ralph Jay Hollway wasn't born in Texas but he got here as quick as he could. After living 78 years in San
Angelo, TX, his spirit ascended to Heaven on April 10, 2019.

Born to Ralph Bertrand Hollway and Helen Wilcott Hollway on September 29, 1934, in Kansas City, MO., RJ came to Texas when he was 6 years old, accompanied by his parents, sisters LouAnn and Barbara, and brother Bob. A member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, Ralph was proud of his Indian heritage on his dad's side, and German heritage on his mother's side.

Ralph's formal education began at Immaculate Conception Academy and continued through San Angelo High School and San Angelo Jr. College. During his school years he proudly achieved the Order of the Arrow and Eagle Scout ranking in Boy Scouts of America.
Ralph began his career in the Life Insurance business when he was 23 and remained active in that pursuit until his death at the age of 84. He was highly regarded among his peers and known for his integrity and dedication to the best interests of every client, always. Along the way he was involved in American Council of Life Underwriters, and San Angelo Assoc. of Life Underwriters where he served in every office including president and was twice Life Underwriter of the Year. Ralph was a Million Dollar Round Table Life Member; Texas Leaders Round Table, six years; National Quality Award four years; a member of San Angelo Estate Planning Council. He won the Life Ins. Industry National Sales Award several times. He was a Chartered Life Underwriter and Life Underwriter Training Council Fellow.

In the Jaycees Ralph was elected Jaycee of the Year, Speak Up Winner, Key Man, President and Life Member. He was, at one time or another, a Director of or in some way affiliated with virtually every civic organization in San Angelo, too many to name all. He served one term on the City Commission.

AKA Pop, Dad, Grampa, Uncle Ralph or Uncle Giraffe, and RJ, he was so proud of all the boys and the fine men they grew up to be. He loved the grands and great grands, nieces and nephews. He relished each accomplishment, enjoyed gathering a load of the younger ones for an occasional spin in the golf cart, being with the older ones on the dove lease, teaching anyone who would listen how to do something. He was determined to leave the boys with good tools and know-how.
R J played golf for about 60 years, and he loved all his hunting adventures and the friends accrued along the way in both pursuits. In later years he became an avid reader, partial to biographies, history, and action/thriller novels. He could repair just about anything that needed it around the house, and he was a meticulous builder of wood furniture.

He was the best dance partner a girl could ever wish for.

Ralph J. Hollway and Jane Wiley were married in San Angelo in 1955, and were blessed with four sons: Ralph Jay, II; Wiley Kevin, Michael Stephen and Travis Scott.
Ralph and Janice Crain Causey were married in 1980 and life began again with 2 more sons, Justin Steven and James Jason Causey.
Preceding in death are Ralph's parents, his sister Barbara and brother Bob; son Mike, step-son Jason, grandchildren Kristi and Brett; mother of his sons, Jane. Also preceding in death are sister-in-law Jean Guthrie, brothers-in-law Norman Croy, Roy Hubbartt, Jim Guthrie and Jay White.

Surviving are wife JC, sons Jay, Kevin (Chris), and Justin, all of San Angelo; son Scott (Inocencia), of Kerrville, 6 grandchildren, 2 step-grandsons; 8 great-grandchildren, 6 step-great grandchildren. Also surviving is sister LouAnn Croy of West Linn, OR; sisters-in-law Lexie Hollway and Sue White, brothers-in­ law Kenneth Crain and Richard Crain; many nieces and nephews.
A Christian of strong faith who continued in diligent study of God's Word through his last days, Ralph was a member of Southland Baptist Church for 30+ years. A Memorial Service will be held there at 2PM on April 13, 2019, led by Rev. Chris Curran and Rev. Jill Fulghum. 

Special thanks to Kindred Hospice and our angels Angela and Samantha. They and all the others at Kindred, and the associated personnel, tended to Ralph with love, kindness and respect. Thanks also to the many who visited, sent cards, brought substance and sustenance, and prayed. Grace was showered on us day after day, sometimes in the form of peppermint ice cream. Careful attention was paid to smallest needs.

Memorial donations made to the organization or charity of your choice are welcome.

Leona Michele (Miki) Ross Clemens died Tuesday, April 9, at home, surrounded by her loving family.

Miki was born on September 26, 1949 in Brownsville, Texas, to Virginia and John Ross. She grew up in Austin, Texas. She graduated from A. N. McCallum High School in Austin in 1967 and Southwest Texas State University with a degree in journalism in 1971.

Following graduation she worked for the Peace Corps in Colima, Mexico and The News, the only English language newspaper in Mexico City, in 1971-72.

Miki went to work as a general assignment reporter at the San Antonio Express-News in 1973, where she met Augustus (Gus) Clemens V. Their newsroom romance resulted in their marriage on January 18, 1975. Their union produced two children, Augustus (Gus) Clemens VI in 1979 and Sarah Ross Clemens in 1982.

[[{"fid":"56982","view_mode":"default","fields":{"format":"default","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":"Miki Clemens","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"Miki Clemens"},"type":"media","field_deltas":{"1":{"format":"default","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":"Miki Clemens","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"Miki Clemens"}},"attributes":{"alt":"Miki Clemens","title":"Miki Clemens","class":"media-element file-default","data-delta":"1"}}]]

Miki and Gus lived in San Antonio, Texas while both worked at the newspaper. They lived in New York City in 1977 where Miki worked as a special assistant at William Morrow and Company, a book publisher.

The couple returned to San Antonio in 1978 and worked together on a series of books. In 1980, they published The Concho Country about the Concho River region. Their son was born in San Angelo while they worked on that project. They moved to Midland, Texas, and published Legacy: The Story of the Permian Basin Region of West Texas and Southeast New Mexico in 1983. Their daughter was born in Midland while they worked on that project. Together, Miki and Gus produced more than a dozen books. She was a talented artist responsible for many maps and illustrations and an invaluable editor.

The family moved to San Angelo in 1985. Miki first worked as a reporter at the San Angelo Standard-Times, then began a 28-year career as office manager for Healthy Families San Angelo. Planning and organizing the Annual Children’s Fair was one of her major duties at Healthy Families. The annual event attracts more than 10,000 people and more than 100 non-profit fund-raising booths. Miki organized it all. She was in the final stages of preparations for the fair when she was diagnosed with brain cancer last April.

Miki was a warm and loving person to all. She was a devoted grandmother. As “Mamaw” she picked her two granddaughters up from school almost every day and entertained them with trips to parks, art projects, swimming, and music. That same generous spirit motivated her work at Healthy Families. She loved music and played the piano and guitar. She loved water, the ocean and beaches and time in the family swimming pool, which she maintained. She enjoyed going to movies almost every week with her sister. She was a skilled seamstress, artist, and cook.

Miki was involved in civic events. She served two terms as San Angelo Ballet president, was on the board of Catholic Outreach for many years, and was a volunteer for numerous organizations.

Miki is survived by her husband of 44 years and by her son, her daughter and two grandchildren, Catalina and Jackeline Gutierrez.

Darleene Joyce Jensen, 84 years old, passed away peacefully on December 7, 2018 in San Angelo, Texas. In her final days, she was surrounded by her beloved children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Her youngest son, Paul, was holding her hand at the time of her passing.

Darleene was born on July 27, 1934 in Wynot, Nebraska to Henry and Gladys Olsen. She enjoyed her brothers, Dane and Gene, and her sister, Genia, who was also her best friend.

Darleene was called to the mission field as a teenager and attended New Tribes Mission in 1953. There, she met and married the one and only love of her life, James Walter Jensen. They were happily married for nearly 50 years until his death in 2002.

Darleene was a wonderful stay-at-home mom and missionary partner. She home-schooled her 10 children and taught them to love God, family, and country. Together with her husband, she spent 20-plus years on the Mission field, traveling and witnessing in Cuba, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Panama, Costa Rica, Peru, Chile, Brazil, and Taiwan.

Darleene modeled purity, modesty, frugality, honesty, gratitude, hard work, resilience, flexibility, dedication to family, good manners, value of education, kindness, service to others, and so much more! She led a sparse life materially; yet through all the hard times, the many, tiring international moves, the never-ending needs of her children, and the subjugation of her desires to the needs of others, she always carried that beautiful smile of hers, the steadiness and grounding of a woman determined to follow God's calling, an aura of gentleness and strength, a beautiful person, inside and out.

When Darleene lost her soulmate and husband in 2002, she soldiered on for 16 more years as a prayer warrior for her loved ones, providing comfort, spirituality, advice, and love to her beloved family.

Darleene is survived by her children and their families:

Jim Jensen: Tiffany and Jason Garey (Christian, Brandon, and Connor), Ben, and Shawn (Izzy).

Joe and Sharon Ward: Derek, Matt and Kendra (Jill and Dustin), Jennifer and Bryce Wargin, Luke, Samuel, and Jesse.

David and Sherry Jensen: Josh, Sharon and Randy Omark (Olivia, William, Zachary, Wesley, and Andrew), Sarah and Clinton Fortner (Chloe, Sophia, Lilly, Noble, and Verity), Jonathan, and Timothy.

John Graboski and Rebecca Jensen: James and Anna, Stephen and Melissa, and Andrew.

CV and Rachel Eaton: Kevin and Holly Michel (Nicholas and Kaylee), James, and Morgan.

Daniel and Julie Jensen: Brooklynn and Alexander McKinstry, and Louis.

Tim and Debi Perry: Karina, Timothy, and Matthew.

Reuben and Lisa Jensen: Logan and Taylor, Megan, Justin, Casey, Michaela and family, Vanessa, and Hope.

Steve and Holly Jensen: Kirstin and Joel Balman, Lauren, Titus, and Nathaniel.

Paul Jensen: Bree.

Darleene is survived by her siblings: Genia Riibe, and Gene and Sharon Olsen, and the family of Dane Olsen: Randy, Steve, Denise, Renee, and Michelle and families. She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Fern Jensen; nieces and nephews: Don and Cam Riibe; Pat Riibe; Brad and Amy Olsen; Brian and Natasha Olsen; Wayne and Elaine Jensen; Karen and Steve Weber; Ken and Jo Jensen.

Darleene was preceded in death and joyfully reunited with her beloved husband, James Walter Jensen; parents, Henry and Gladys Olsen; brother, Dane Olsen; sister-in-law Twila Olsen; brother-in-law Francis Riibe; brother-in-law Phil Jensen; and nephew Dale Jensen.

Memorial service will be held Thursday, December 13, 2018 at 2 pm at Harper Funeral Home in San Angelo, Texas.

Funeral services will be held Saturday, December 15, 2018 at Horse Springs Bible Church in Horse Springs, New Mexico. Darleene will be laid in her final resting spot beside her husband on family property near Quemado, New Mexico.

Donations can be made to Cornerstone Christian School, House of Faith, and The Christian Church of San Angelo.

Richard Cuellar Bastardo, Sr., 67, of San Angelo went to be with the Lord on Friday, December 7, 2018 at Shannon Hospital in San Angelo. Richard was born April 17, 1951 in San Angelo, Texas to George and Hortencia Cuellar Bastardo.

He grew up in San Angelo and at a young age left school to help his parent save their home. He married the love of his life, Mary Ellen Torres, on September 21, 1968 and they shared 50 beautiful years together. Richard worked numerous different jobs over the years until he went to work for Wanda’s Auto Shop. He learned the trade of upholstery while working at Wanda’s and would eventually open his own business R & A Upholstery, which he operated for 19 years.

Richard was a jack of all trades and learned from his mentors that if you could dream it you could do it. He became proficient in carpentry, construction and using concrete. His passion for learning was only surpassed by his love of his community. Richard’s love for his community drove him to run for city council. He served a term on the San Angelo City Council. After serving his term as city councilman, he worked as a planning commissioner for the City of San Angelo and sat on the Board of Directors for HUD and the Tom Green County Tax Assessor.

He was a true “man for the people,” who embraced diversity. His integrity, strength, passion for God and helping others was only surpassed by his love for his family. He adored spending time with his family and grandchildren, especially taking trips to various places in this country with them.

In his spare time, he loved gardening and was an enthusiast for Cushman scooters and Harley Davidson motorcycles. He also enjoyed public speaking and socializing with friends. His love for family and passion for community will remain in our hearts forever, and we will dearly miss him!

Richard was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his wife, Mary Ellen Torres Bastardo, of San Angelo; his children, Shantelle Bastardo, of San Angelo, Jessica Bastardo, of San Angelo and Anissa Martinez, of Houston, TX; his grandchildren, Jesse, Jr., Laelanie, Mariah, Angelo and Tasha.
