Don was born and raised in Rains County, Texas.  He graduated from Brazosport High School and soon after, joined the U.S. Army, where he honorably served his country.  Don met a very special lady, Joyce Mullins, and the two soon realized the love they had for each other.  In May of 1961, she graduated from high school, and on June 9, 1961, the two were joined in marriage.  This began their love story which lasted until her passing.  Don held many jobs during his lifetime, but always made sure he provided for the family that he and Joyce had.  He loved his children and his grandchildren and great-grandchildren were the light of his life.  He spent many hours loving on them and watching them grow up.  He also enjoyed fishing and reading, but his favorite memories were when he and his lovely wife were travelling.  Their most memorable trip, and favorite places to visit was Branson, Missouri and the state of Tennessee.  Don loved life and his family.  His legacy of love and hard work will forever live on in the hearts and minds of those who knew and loved him.
 
Don is survived by his daughters, Sherry Hass and husband, Rex of Joaquin, Texas, Vickie Williams and husband, Roger of Lufkin, Texas; brothers, Loyd Shrum and wife Sybil of Mena, Arkansas and Perry Shrum and wife, Leslie of Angleton, Texas; sisters, Linda Piwonka of Clute, Texas, Raynell Presley of Dallas, Texas, and Laverne Chandler and husband, James of Colfax, Louisiana; 6 grandchildren; and 16 great-grandchildren.

Sister Real was born April 13, 1925, in New Orleans, Louisiana, to Herman Peter Francis and Euriel Pauline Urrey Francis.  She was a well-known and loved figure in the Timpson community for over thirty years, keeping to the Bible as well as her late husband’s, Pastor J.G. Real, edicts of “you got to love them” when it came to not only your neighbor but people in general.  Also, always be thankful to God for the good and the bad.  Her faith has moved mountains and has been a literal example of how to pray without ceasing.  Much more than a Godly woman and mother, she was an encouraging matriarch to any she came across or met.  Her hobbies included attending any church activity, going on scenic drives, working puzzles and playing and singing church music. She was a member of Center First United Pentecostal Church.

Johnathon Edward Martin Jr.

 
Johnathon Edward Martin, Jr., 30, of Timpson, Texas, passed away on November 10, 2017. He was born on February 16, 1987 in Houston, Texas to John Edward Martin and Sonja Gail (Collins) Rolfes.  Funeral Service will be held at 1PM on Thursday, November 16, 2017 at Taylor Funeral Home in Timpson, Texas.  Visitation will be held prior to the service beginning at 11AM at Taylor Funeral Home.  A private family interment will be held. 
 
Johnathon moved to Timpson at an early age.  He graduated from Timpson High School as a member of the Class of 2005.  He met the love of his life, Samantha Abbate Martin, in November 2013.  Three short months later, he asked her if she would move to Nacogdoches.  The two have remained faithfully by one another’s side, building their dreams as a family. Their first-born child, Makynlie Claire was born March 2015.  She had her Daddy wrapped around her finger and brought such joy to their lives. She was a true “Daddy’s girl.” In October 2017, the family of three welcomed another blessing, Kamden Cole Martin, a sweet, beautiful boy who Jonathon loved beyond words. 
 
Johnathon was a very hard working young man. He worked two jobs, one of which was a company started by him and his father, John, in November 2015.  Martin & Martin Trucking was a vision Jonathan had that he had hoped would one day be the sole provision for him and his entire family. It was his dream to build the company from the ground up into a full functioning corporation. 
 
While Jonathan was a focused and determined young man, he also took time to breathe and enjoy life. He loved the outdoors and could often be found fishing, hunting, knee-boarding, spending time at the lake and playing football. Above all, the greatest treasures of his life were his children. Jonathan’s favorite moments were those spent holding his baby girl and his newborn son. There is a bond between them that will never be broken. 
 
Johnathon is survived by his loving wife, Samantha Abbate Martin; babies, Kamden Cole Martin, Makynlie Claire Martin; father, John Edward Martin and wife Terri; mother, Sonja Gail Rolfes; brother, Joshua Lloyd Martin; sisters, Harley Martin, Emily Ann Rolfes, Heather Gray, Brittany Dupree, Kaela Hudman; mother in law, Tracie Abbate; grandmother, Diane Dukes; brother in laws, Caleb Abbate, Noah Abbate; aunt, Julie Wulf; uncle, Mike Wulf; cousin, Stevie Sanchez; and a host of family and friends that will miss him dearly.
 
He is preceded in death by his grandparents; Billie Ray Collins, Gertie Loyce Collins, Sharon McKinney, Howard Martin, and Ronnie Dukes.
 
Serving as pallbearers will be Josh Martin, Jason Dupree, Chase Taylor, Michael Masterson, Anthony Martin, Kaleb Amos, Joe Grabowski, and Trent Hairgrove.
Honorary pallbearers serving are Caleb Abbate and Noah Abbate. 
The family is being served by Taylor Funeral Home in Timpson, Texas.

Jerry grew up in Center, Texas where he attended and graduated from Center High School. Soon after graduation, he joined the U.S. Air Force where he honorably served his country for 2 years.  Jerry returned home and after attending Stephen F. Austin State University for a period of time, he joined his parents in running the family business in Center, where he remained for almost 40 years.  Jerry loved his mom, dad, and siblings and was always around to help them.  He spent his time fishing, camping, and anything else he could find to occupy his time outdoors.  He was happiest when he was playing with his nieces and nephews.  Being Uncle Jerry was the highlight of his life, and could typically be found playing with them on the floor or in the yard camping in a make-shift tent.  The kids loved the time they spent with him.  Jerry made many friends through the years, and made sure to keep in touch with each of them, planning time to spend together as they reminisced and enjoyed the pleasures of life as often as possible. 
 
Jerry is survived by his wife, Sharron Floyd of Nacogdoches; sister, Sandra Cervi and husband, Allen of Houston; brothers, Kenneth Floyd and wife, Debbie of Nacogdoches, Randy Floyd of Ft. Worth, and Michael Floyd of Carthage.

Lilly Reynolds

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Lillian “Lily” Alexandra Reynolds, 17, of Center, Texas, passed away on November 1, 2017 in Center. She was born on June 19, 2000 in Nacogdoches to Philip Taylor Reynolds and
Linda Joy Allen. Funeral Services for Lily will be at 2:00 PM on Sunday, November 5,
2017 at Mangum Funeral Home Chapel with Bro. Mike Brister, Bro. Lacey Andrews, and
Bro. Terry Goodnight officiating. Interment will follow at Pleasant Hill Cemetery. A
visitation will be held from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM on Saturday, November 4, 2017 at
Mangum Funeral Home Chapel.
 
Lily grew up in Center and attended Center ISD. She was proud to be a Roughrider and
was involved in numerous activities and organizations such as Theatre, Band, and
Spanish Club. She was also a Chaparral and manager for the CHS Cheerleaders.
Lily dreamed of becoming a Special Effects Makeup Artist and Cosmetologist. She
absolutely loved doing hair and makeup. Anyone that allowed her could get a full
makeover from the eyebrows to the make-up, to the hairstyle. More than beautifying
others, Lily was content knowing she made their day brighter and what a ray of sunshine
she was! Lily was small in stature, but her heart was tremendous. She had so much love
and compassion for people that it overflowed onto anyone who had the pleasure of
meeting her. Lily adored her family and friends which she dedicated most of her time to
each day. Tia Lily, as her numerous nieces and nephews would call her, treasured the fun
moments spent with all “her babies.” There was no deeper connection than what Lily
shared with her brothers and sisters. Although, as much as she loved each one, they all
had to take a back seat to her little brother Levi. Those two have a bond that could never
be broken.
 
Lily’s affection was not just for humans. This girl had a desire to help and save any and
every animal she encountered. Some might describe her as a collector and not just a
caregiver. You could be driving down the road and if Lily saw an abandoned or helpless
animal, you can rest assured tears would be streaming and the car would pull over. There
would be an extra passenger heading home with you, but that was Lily. No one had a
heart like hers.
 
Lily knew her way around the kitchen and was a pro at spicy Mexican cuisine. You might
be left with watery eyes and a runny nose, but you would be full and satisfied. Tacos
were her absolute favorite. She also liked to spend time with her family skiing and
snowboarding. She was a member of Lone Star Baptist Church.
 
Lily was full of life. The air was just easier to breathe with her lighthearted laughter and
love around. Her smile was infectious. The darkest day would immediately brighten at
the sight of Lily. Even when she was struggling, she would still manage to uplift others
instead of dwelling on her own cares. Her vibrant presence will forever be missed among
those who knew her.
 
Lily is survived by her father, Philip Taylor Reynolds; mother and step-father, Linda and
Enrique Rodriguez; brothers, Benton Randolph Reynolds and wife, Jessica, Enrique “Henry”
Rodriguez, Philip Taylor Reynolds, II and wife, Tobin, Ross Christian Reynolds and
fiancé, Kayla, Dillon McBride Reynolds and Samuel Levi Rodriguez; sisters, Zaira
Lorena Arcibar and husband, Juan, Emily Danielle Fausett and husband, Adam, Fernanda
Lilibeth Nutt and husband, Jerrod and Stephany Leonor Fitzgerald and husband, Nic;
paternal grandparents, George and Sally Reynolds; maternal grandmother, Lillian Allen;
nieces and nephews, Alexis Reynolds, Matthew Arcibar, Kayden Nutt, Conner Nutt,
Chloe Arcibar, Sophia Arcibar, Cassie Nutt, Audrie Rodriguez, Benjamin Arcibar,
Andrew Reynolds; and numerous other family and special friends.
 
She is preceded in death by her grandfather, Johnny Allen and cousins, Cory Bertrand
and Zane Allen.
 
Pallbearers will be Benton Reynolds, Enrique "Henry" Rodriguez, Taylor Reynolds, Ross
Reynolds, Dillon Reynolds, and Levi Rodriguez. Honorary pallbearers are Juan Arcibar,
Adam Fausett, Jerrod Nutt, and Nic Fitzgerald.
