Jimmy Arrington, 63, of San Angelo passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July 27, 2022.

A private celebration of life will be scheduled at a later date. Arrangements are under the direction of Robert Massie Funeral Home.

Jimmy was born on September 25, 1958, in Roswell, New Mexico to Charles Arrington and Ouida Blackledge. His family moved to San Angelo where he attended San Angelo Central High School. Jimmy worked for Walker Plumbing from 1976 to 2008 and then operated his own company for about 10 years.

There was really nothing Jimmy could not do. He was a talented artist who crafted the most beautiful watercolors and drawings. Jimmy was an innovative builder who could conquer any project. His hobbies included being an incredible swimmer, a dedicated fisherman and an avid outdoorsman. You could almost always find him in his garage, working on a project, even if he only finished about half of them. Those who knew Jimmy would joke that he was as hardheaded as he was talented. A fierce friend, Jimmy would stand with you until the end.

But nothing made Jimmy prouder than being a father. He took immense pride in his children and grandchildren. One thing they will remember from their childhood is how he never missed an opportunity to watch "The Wizard of Oz" any time it was on. While it might not have made sense to us at the time, one quote resonates now as we remember our dad: "A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others" Jimmy is loved by so many.

Jimmy is survived by his four children, Alison Arrington, Kasey Arrington Lemons, Jamie Pearson, and Nicholas Arrington; his brothers, Charles Arrington and Robert Fairchild; sister, Sherry Tyler; mother, Ouida Blackledge; and grandchildren, Brayden Leverett and Andi Lemons.

Mario Guadalupe Arreola, 61, of San Angelo went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, August 2, 2022, in Abilene, TX.

Mario was born December 12, 1960, in San Carlos, Coahuila, Mexico to Rodolfo Arreola and Felis “Maria” Rodriguez de Arreola. He grew up in San Carlos and graduated from Escuela Rafael Ramirez and Escuela Secundaria Tecnica #20. He met and married Elsa Guadalupe Rodriguez on August 16, 1977, and they had two beautiful daughters, Brenda and Adriana. Mario worked as a roustabout in the petroleum industry for over 20 years. He was a hardworking, charismatic, generous, kind and loving son, brother, husband, father, and grandfather who loved spending time with his family and friends, especially his mom. They loved watching novelas together. Mario was a joyous man, who loved making people laugh and making friends wherever he went. He was always willing to help family, friends, or anyone in need at any time. Mario had a tremendous faith in God and was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church. He loved his Catholic faith and always held a special devotion to the Virgin De Guadalupe.

After moving to San Angelo, he helped out at the family restaurants. Mario greeted customers with his great sense of humor. He bonded quickly with all the employees at any location. Mario would fill any room with his happiness and goofiness by using anything from his love of music and unique dancing skills to his shoe shining. Above all else, Mario’s favorite thing to do besides dancing was riding his tricycle downs the streets. His love for family and friends and happy demeanor will remain in our hearts forever and we will dearly miss him!

Mario was preceded in death by his Parents, his wife Elsa, daughter Adriana and 2 brothers. He is survived by his daughter, Brenda Garcia, and her husband Jose, of San Angelo; his sons, Jose Omar Arreola, of Austin, TX, Mario Eduardo Arreola, of Del Rio, TX, and Marco Antonio Arreola, of San Angelo; 3 Grandchildren, Adriana, Leeanna and Julian Garcia, all of San Angelo; 4 sisters; 5 brothers; and numerous nieces and nephews, other family members and close friends.

Robbie Ann Gilliam Faught, 75, passed away peacefully at home on August 2, 2022. She was born in San Angelo, Texas, on February 5, 1947, to Stanley and Ann Gilliam and was the apple of their eye. Growing up in a warm and loving family would influence how she impacted her own. San Angelo was Robbie’s lifelong home. She graduated from Central High School and then Angelo State University. Soon after, she married the love of her life, John C. Faught, in August of 1967. They built a beautiful life together that later included their two children, Angela and Johnny. 

Robbie was a devoted educator and loved the opportunity to shape and engage young minds. She retired ten years ago from SAISD after 25 years of teaching. She was actively involved in Philia Club, served on the Alumni Board for her alma mater, Angelo State University, and in various capacities at First Baptist Church. Robbie and her husband John were particularly adept at leading the Married Young Adult Sunday School Department, where many couples grew in their love of each other and the Lord.  

Robbie was always up for a party, and if she could decorate for that party, that was even better. She loved art projects and painting and was a wizard with a hot glue gun, giving her the moniker “Robby Lobby.” She loved her people and was routinely surrounded by a laughing group of friends and family. She never missed an event, big or small, that included her children or grandchildren and would often pen a poem or song to celebrate the affair. When she could find a little time to herself, she would sneak away to her happy place in Horseshoe Bay, Texas. Robbie was a faithful Christian and reflected God’s love in how she interacted with others. She was an example to many of resiliency and faith. 

Robbie is survived by her two children and their families, Mike and Angela Dina (Caroline, Charlie), Johnny and Kaitlyn Faught (Lucille), and lots of loving family and friends. She is preceded in death by her parents, her husband, and siblings. Special thanks to numerous caregivers who have assisted in her journey with Parkinson’s Disease over the last several years. They graciously allowed Robbie to live this chapter of her life with dignity and independence. 

A Visitation will be held Friday, August 5, from 5-7pm at Harper Funeral Home. A Funeral Service will take place at First Baptist Church on Saturday, August 6, at 10:30 am. In lieu of flowers, a memorial may be made to the Turn It Gold Foundation (www.turnitgold.org) or Concho Valley Home for Girls (www.conchokids.org).

It is with a heavy heart we share that our father, Reginald Edward LeClair, people called him Ed, 86, of San Angelo passed away on July 19, 2022 in Floresville, Texas. He is now with our Lord and Savior.

Ed was born September 4, 1935 in Auburn, Maine to Rudolph Joseph and Aurea Norma LeClair and raised by his mother and stepfather; Gerald LaFontaine, after Rudolph LeClair died in France during WW2.

Ed spent his school years in Maine, attended 1 year of High School in Alaska then graduated from Lewiston High School in Lewiston, Maine. After graduation, Ed moved to Texas and joined the Army. After serving 6 years active duty in Korea and Alabama, Ed attended and graduated from St Mary's University in San Antonio.

He married Roberta Ann Morris on June 4, 1960 in San Antonio and celebrated their 60th anniversary together before Roberta's passing on August 19, 2020. They were the proud parents of 3 children, 6 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild.

On March 16, 1961 Ed and Roberta welcomed their first child, Robert Edward "Bob" LeClair and Ed landed his lifelong career that very day with State Farm Insurance.

Ed began his career at State Farm as a Claim Representative in San Antonio, then transferred to Corpus Christi where he also tried his hand as an independent State Farm agent, but his passion was in helping people in time of need, so he went back to claims and moved to San Antonio as an Attorney Negotiator. Ed was then promoted to the Austin Regional Office as Supervisor and lived in Round Rock until 1978 when he was promoted to Claims Superintendent and moved to San Angelo. 

Ed took deep pride in his work and in the development and support of those who he worked with. He considered them all family. He also gained the respect of all who worked with him as well as those who might have sat across the bargaining table from him in business but always shared the table with them as a friend outside of work. 

In addition to his passion for his work, Ed dedicated himself to the communities in which he lived, such as the Corpus Christi Claim Men's Association, Pop Warner Football coach & Lions Club President, as well as a member of the committee to write the charter for the city of Round Rock. 

One of his most passionate roles was volunteering with the Ft McKavett Volunteer Fire Department in Menard County serving as 1st Assistant Fire Chief for several years. In addition, he provided insurance guidance and organized the annual BBQ fund raiser for 19 years for the community he & Roberta enjoyed spending time with so many friends including the "Dunagan Road Crew"!

He is survived by a son, Robert "Bob" LeClair and fiancé, Lisa Francis of Burkburnett; a daughter, Renee LeClair Glass and husband Jerry Glass of Highlands Ranch, Colorado; and son, Roger LeClair and wife Lisa Huro of Irving. 

Ed was "Pepaw" to his grandchildren; Ryan LeClair and wife Amanda Stellhorn LeClair and great grandson, Rowan of Canon City, Colorado, Riley LeClair and wife Erin Moore LeClair of Irving, Reagan Glass of Denver, Colorado, Robert "Cooper" Glass of Austin, Reece LeClair of San Antonio and & Ryder LeClair of Irving. 

Ed was known for his catchphrases and was always quick to provide "LeClairification" when needed! A few of his other favorites for the grandchildren were "Well, we're all here cause we're are not all there" and most well-known for "Nothing ever too good or too bad lasts too long". 

A Celebration of Life is scheduled for September 24, 2022 in San Angelo. Please refer to Robert Massie Funeral Home for updated details at www.robertmassie.com.

Ed and Roberta will be interned together at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery in San Antonio. 

Currently, in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a charity of your choice in the name of Reginald Edward LeClair or to the American Legion National Headquarters, Donation Processing Center; P.O. Box 21016 Tulsa, Oklahoma 74121-1016

The family would like to express our sincere appreciation to all of our family & friends who loved and supported both Ed & Roberta, his care givers and healthcare providers at Frank Tejeda Texas State Veterans Home in Floresville, and the staff of Good Sheppard Hospice for their amazing dedication to the care of our beloved father.

Frank graduated high school in 1974 from Overfelt High School in San Jose, CA. He served in the United States Navy aboard the U.S.S. America.

He spent 7 to 8 years at Ethicon as a wage employee for various departments at the Mueller building. He also temporarily worked as a non-CFC technician. His last job was at Texas Department of Transportation driving multiple trucks to help keep highways safe. 

Frank had a straight and blunt personality but would always win you over to share his likes, trials and errors. He loved sharing his love of cooking BBQ every Sunday or at Christmas and Thanksgiving holiday meals. He was compassionate to every stranger, sharing his contagious smile and helping anyone and everyone get through the day with a joke or a story. He lived hard and played hard, and most importantly loved hard.

The family would like to thank Concho Hearts Hospice for their gift of taking care of Frank in the last days of his life. He was continuously upheld by the Angels who took care of all his needs; to every aspect of giving him medicine to relieve his pain. He trusted Concho Hearts Hospice and saw the work of the lord in Rene Rendon and his own daughter, Andrea Nichole Hernandez. I would like to end with a true saying my own mother would say to me “May the lord repay you for all that you do for me because I could never repay you”.
