Dewey Wayne Braddock, 64, of San Angelo, passed away at his home, surrounded by loved ones after a long fought battle with MDS and Leukemia on Thursday, June 16, 2016. He was born to the late, Edward Dewey and Minnie Moore Braddock on June 20, 1951 in San Angelo. Dewey married the love of his life, Dianne McCoulskey on October 4, 1974 in San Angelo. They often fought over who first loved the other. Dianne truly showed her love in caring for him, as his "private nurse" in his last days. He was a member of Berean Baptist Church, Grape Creek. Dewey worked as a Diesel Mechanic for over 40 years. Many said that he was a "workaholic". He was a true gentle giant, always being a giving and loving man. He was a believer in living up to expectations and standards as well. Dewey had a talent for making everyone feel special. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, tinkering with anything he could get his hands on, and watching old westerns when he had free time. He was a sports fan of all kinds. Dewey was a fighter through the grace of God. He often said "God is great" when speaking of the trials in his life and how he was brought through them. Dewey will be missed greatly by all who knew and loved him, but especially his grandbabies who he enjoyed fussing with him over who loved the other more, as they enjoyed Coke floats together. Remember him when you eat his favorite foods in the days to come, many of which he requested in his final days from his family and friends, who faithfully prepared and brought to him. He was preceded in death by his parents; and son, Jonathan Braddock. 
Survivors include his wife, Dianne Braddock; daughters, Jennifer Braddock and Amy Odell and her husband, Josh; granddaughters, Khloe and Klaridi Odell; brothers, Stephen Braddock and his wife, Mary, Robert Braddock, Jerry Braddock, and Mark Braddock; numerous nieces, nephews and a host of other relatives and friends, including his mother-in-law, whom he was very close to and now feels like she lost a child herself, Roena McCoulskey. 
The family would like to extend special thanks to the staff members of MD Anderson, Shannon Medical Center, Methodist Hospital of San Antonio, Hospice of San Angelo and especially his sister-in-law, Traci Salvato and all of his brothers for the loving care and support given not only to Dewey, but to the whole family during his journey home. 
A celebration of his life will be held on his 65th birthday, Monday, June 20, 2016 at 10:00 AM in the Johnson's Funeral Chapel with a reception to follow. Family and friends are encouraged to wear orange to the celebration and share memories and photos.

Jim Ed Basham of Mertzon, Texas passed away June 16, 2016 in San Angelo, Texas at the age of 86. 
Jim Ed was born on October 14, 1929 in Gatesville, Texas to Burnell and Avo Rogers Basham.
He first set foot on the Bar S Ranch, which is now known as the Rocker b Ranch, in September 1949 at the youthful age of nineteen years. When Jim arrived at the ranch he didn’t have a horse or a saddle, but apparently, Mr. Farr saw something in Jim Ed’s character and hired him on the spot. Jim Ed lived and worked on the Rocker b Ranch for all but two years during his forty-nine year tenure. He was drafted into the U.S. Army in May 1951 and served his country for two years before returning directly to the ranch. 
Jim Ed married Dorothy Miller, October 14, 1950 and raised two children on the Rocker b. Jim Ed was promoted to Ranch Foreman in 1954 and held the position until his retirement in May 1998. Jim Ed brought many valuable attributes to the Texas ranching industry. He brought dedication to his job, integrity in the way he conducted business and continuity in having served the ranching industry for five decades. He was a worthy recipient of the Trailblazer Award in 2006. 
As much as Jim Ed loved the Rocker b, he had a love that far exceeded it, his love for family and friends.
He was preceded in death by his loving wife of sixty-four years, Dorothy Dot Basham; his parents; his sister, Billie Jean Shelton and her husband Joe; brother, B.A. Basham and wife Elvie; a step-father, Chalk Black; brother-in-law, Charles Miller and wife Shirley.
Jim Ed is survived by his son Jim Basham and wife Cindy of Gatesville; daughter Jan Basham of Mertzon; grandchildren Ryan Basham and mother Donna Basham; Mikka Pavelka and husband Frankie; Misty Basham; and granddaughter Tatum Basham. 
Memorial services will be held at 10:30 a.m., Monday, June 20, 2016 at First Baptist Church of Mertzon in Mertzon, Texas. Pallbearers will be Dennis Webb, Jim Miller, Bud Farr, Phil Farr, Bill Farr, Eddie Martin, Mike Dolan, Howard Swaringin, Boone Stokes, Howard Parks, Rusty Culp, Buzz Harrington, Phillip Tankersly, Larry Settle and Wayne Herman. Services are under the direction of Shaffer Funeral Home/Sherwood Way.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks to make a donation in Jim Ed’s honor to the Scottish Rite Hospital or First Baptist Church of Mertzon.

David P. Key Jr., 94, went to be with his Lord and Savior on Monday, June 13, 2016 in Robert Lee, Texas. 
David was born October 21, 1921 to D.P. and Jessie Shropshire Key in the small community of Punkin Town, near Edith, west of Robert Lee, in Coke County, Texas. He was the baby of the family with his two older sisters, Wilma and Vernie, who liked to spoil him. 
David graduated from Robert Lee High School in 1938. He worked different jobs from being a hamburger cook to helping his dad in the livestock trucking business until joining the US Armed Forces. David proudly served his country during World War II from 1942 to 1946. In 1946 he returned to Robert Lee and opened a feed store. On September 6, 1947, he married Alene Gaines. They were blessed with a son, Joe David and a daughter, DeeAnna. Another great joy of his life was his grandchildren, Jason and Jessica. 
David was a hard worker, loading many a sack of feed for forty years, when he "retired" from the feed store in 1986. His son had joined him in the feed business in 1974 and David continued to help out for several more years even after "retirement". He also loved ranching and feeding the cows. In later years, when he no longer was able to ranch, he enjoyed his chickens and fresh eggs, gardening and his flowers. He had his mother's green thumb and liked sharing the vegetables with his family and friends.
Growing up, his family was active in the Northside Church of Christ in Robert Lee. In later years, he became an active member of Robert Lee Baptist Church. He served many years as a deacon there until his health would no longer permit it. 
He is survived by his son, Joe David and wife Teri; daughter, DeeAnna Harmon and husband Joe; grandson, Jason David Key and fiancé, Kate Zora; granddaughter, Jessica Key Kolasa and husband Doren; and great-grandchildren, Jaren, McKinley and Creed Kolasa and Kye Scott Kolasa due to arrive later this month; brother-in-law, Jess Gaines and wife Dorothy; sister-in-law, Rena Gaines; and many dear nephews and nieces.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Alene Gaines Key (by 2 days); his parents; sisters, Wilma Shelburne and Vernie Smith.
The family would like to extend a special thanks to the West Coke County EMS, and Robert Lee Care Center for their loving care and also to Dr. Shaik, Dr. Mull and PA Burrage and the entire staff on five South at Shannon Medical Center for the wonderful care they have provided to him over the last eight days.
Visitation will be held all day Wednesday, June 15, 2016 at the funeral home with family present 5-7 p.m. Funeral services will be Wednesday, June 15, 2016 at 10:00 am at Robert Lee Baptist Church in Robert Lee, Texas, with burial in Paint Creek Cemetery.
