Evan Michael McGraw, 24, completed his life journey on Saturday, June 18, 2016. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Evan was born on November 8, 1991 to Richard and Lee Morrison-McGraw in San Angelo, Texas. Evan grew up in San Angelo attending Crockett Elementary school, then Glenn Junior High and Central High School before graduating from Fredericksburg High School. He loved to play tennis, playing all the way through high school, and was then recruited to play for Schreiner University in Kerrville. Evan was the number one player in singles and doubles play when he attended Fredericksburg High School. He not only enjoyed playing tennis, but also found teaching the sport that he loved so much to younger kids incredibly rewarding. Evan was also a member of The United States Tennis Association and National Junior Honor Society. He loved all animals and found peace in his interactions with them, but he had a soft spot for dogs. He loved being outdoors, and he particularly loved Northern Wisconsin where his grandmother lives. Evan had a sense of humor that even in the most difficult situations could be light to a dark place. Let us remember that now.

Evan is preceded in death by his Paternal Grandparents, Richard and Mary Louise McGraw, Maternal Grandfather Gordon Morrison, and his beloved dog Spot.

He is survived by his parents Richard and Lee Morrison-McGraw, three loving sisters Caryn McGraw, Lauren McGraw and Carissa Gardner, loving brother Ryan McGraw, beloved Grandmother Joan Morrison, Aunt and Uncle Erin and Scott Morrison, Aunt Lily Williams and Uncle Robert McGraw, along with many special cousins, honorary aunts and uncles, and his beloved nieces and nephews.

To all who really knew him, Evan was a special, kind and gentle soul; a shining wit and intellect; a loving son, brother, grandson, nephew, uncle and cousin. Those fortunate enough to call him a friend know he was truly theirs. His loyalty ran deep.

Roger Lamar Goertz, of San Angelo, passed away June 17, 2016 at Shannon Hospital. Roger was born to Albert Friezon Goertz and Dorothy Nell Martin on April 24, 1938 in Freer, Texas. He was preceded in death by his parents, wife Jean Humphrey Goertz, and sisters Gigette Newbrough Gilles and Tina Hall. He is survived by sisters-in-law Jane Booth and Dana Rickett, numerous nieces and nephews and several cousins. 
Roger was born severely club footed and at birth his doctor recommended amputation of both of his feet. Thankfully, his parents sought a second opinion at Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas. They opted to attempt to surgically correct his feet. Roger underwent numerous operations and although he didn’t have “perfect” feet, through his will, determination and positive attitude his feet were able to take him places that many people thought were impossible! 

Roger was raised in Texon and in high school he was voted Class Favorite and was the kicker for the football team. In the summers he served as a lifeguard and worked in the oilfield. He graduated from Reagan County High School in 1957. He attended San Angelo College his first year and transferred to Southwest Texas State graduating with a B.A. in History and Sociology. He later attended Sul Ross State University and received his Master’s Degree in Education and attained a Professional Counselor Certificate. 

He began his teaching and coaching career in Knippa. From there he moved to Sanderson and then to Big spring, where he was able to coach under Spike Dykes. Roger said he truly learned what it meant to be a coach under coach Dykes. After seven years in Big Spring, he moved to Plainview where he worked as a Special Education Counselor. After leaving Plainview, Roger worked at the Region 15 Service Center in San Angelo where he worked to implement a pilot program that offered vocational counseling to small rural schools. Later Roger served as a vocational counselor for Concho County Schools and then returned to Big Spring to serve as vocational counselor until his retirement.
While living in San Angelo Roger met his wife Jean. Roger always said she was one of the best things that ever happened to him. They were married in 1980 and enjoyed 24 years of marriage until her death in 2004. During their marriage they traveled extensively and made many friends.
Roger was known for his love of history, especially of West Texas Forts, Texon and Reagan County Football. He was always researching information on all of these topics. He was a member of the Permian Basin Historical Society and his presentation on Texon won “Best Presentation” in 2007. Tumbleweed Smith even wrote an article about Roger’s Texon presentation. 
Roger was the eternal optimist. In fact, he served as president of Big Spring’s Optimist Club for 5 years. Everyone that had met or knew Roger described him as “one of the nicest people that they have ever met”. His former classmates at San Angelo College wrote a “Resolution” to him in 2007 that expressed their love, respect and esteem for him that he treasured until his death. He also had a book bound by his friends that Roger wrote about his life and had numerous letters included by his friends. Roger was never at a loss for friends. From his childhood to his death he was surrounded by an army of devoted friends that truly thought he was the best!
Many thanks goes out to his friends, family and a special insurance agent that helped him these last few years. Gary Booth, John Webb and Jane Booth were always there for him. Roger had so many amazing friends that they were too numerous to mention, but the one that Roger always spoke of like a brother and admired so much was James Whitehead. Thank the Lord for special friends like him!
We will all miss Roger, but the one thing we can all remember about him and hopefully apply to our own life is that “being nice matters!” Thank you Roger, for being such a caring and thoughtful son, brother, uncle husband and friend to all of the people in your life.
