He was born on March 9, 1958, in Fresno, California to Trines Ray Head and Diantha Gonsalves. He brought light and laughter to all who knew him. An adventurous spirit from the start, Trines grew up in Santa Clara, California where he demonstrated his courage and teamwork as a member of the Peterson High School football and wrestling teams.

Trines was happiest when surrounded by nature, whether camping or fishing, and he possessed a culinary flair that delighted friends and family alike. He was a loyal fan of the OU Sooners and the Kansas City Chiefs, whose games he eagerly anticipated. His love for the ocean was profound, and he was a certified scuba diver who found peace beneath the waves. A man of many talents and interests, Trines was also an Eagle Scout and an active member of the NRA, V.F.W., and the American Legion.

 

Trines leaves behind his beloved wife, Sheri (Sueltz), and a large, loving family, including his children Jacob (Joanna) Storm, Jonathan Storm, Bobbie (Ryan) Howell, Christian Stormett, Solomon (Brittany) Stormett, Samuel (Erica) Stormett, Elizabeth Stormett; adopted granddaughter Lainee Head; step-sons Ryan (Chelsey) Schlotfelt, and Kyle Schlotfelt, as well as his brother Joseph (Lenore) Gonsalves, sister Theresa Tucker, and favorite uncle Bill Tucker.

For Beverly, family was everything. Her deep-seated love for her husband, Jose Roig, was the cornerstone of her existence. Beverly was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend, whose love was her family's guiding light. 

 

Professionally, Beverly had an equally impressive journey. She began her career as a beautician, beautifying the world one client at a time. Later, she channeled her skill and dedication into the casino industry, serving as a reliable and respected cash cage manager. Beverly was a beacon of joy and love that touched countless lives with her radiant spirit. Known for her infectious happiness, Beverly found beauty in life's simplest pleasures.

Debbie Lewis

 

On October 6, 2026, Debbie Lewis passed away peacefully in her sleep at Sedan City Hospital.

 

Born on February 9, 1951, in Sedan, Kansas, Debbie was the first baby girl born at Sedan City Hospital—a fitting beginning to a life that was anything but ordinary.

 

A graduate of Sedan High School in 1969, Debbie was a true free spirit and a hippie at heart. She lived life on her own terms, with a sense of adventure and curiosity that carried her far beyond the familiar.  In her younger years, she hitchhiked across the United States, collecting stories, experiences, and memories along the way. She embraced the freedom of the open road and never seemed afraid to see where the next adventure might take her.

 

Debbie’s adventurous spirit carried her to many places, from her home state of Kansas to the Northern West Coast, and even to a dude ranch along the way. She never shied away from a new experience or an opportunity to see where life might take her.

One place that held a special place in her heart was Quincy, California, where she managed a Mobil 1 convenience store. She loved her time there and the life she built for herself, eventually retiring in 2021 after a fulfilling career.

 

Debbie was a woman of many talents and endless interests. She could often be found working in her yard, building or creating something for her home, or simply enjoying the outdoors with her beloved pets, Diva and Cisco. Debbie also had a lifelong love of animals. Throughout the years, she welcomed numerous pets into her life, each holding a special place in her heart. She loved hiking, cooking, watching Perry Mason and the news, and—perhaps most of all—having a good political debate with anyone willing to engage.

 

Debbie had a natural gift for talking to people and genuinely enjoyed meeting and visiting with just about anyone. She could strike up a conversation with a complete stranger and, before long, have them laughing like old friends. Her years working in restaurants—including owning her own—gave her plenty of opportunities to do what she loved: serve people, hear their stories, and share a few of her own. And Debbie always had a story, an opinion, or a little “BS” ready to go. She could talk to the public for hours—and, as her family would happily admit, sometimes had more to say to a stranger than she did to them!

 

Those who knew her will remember her for her laughter, strong opinions, adventurous heart, and unmistakable ability to make life more interesting.

 

Debbie is survived by her sister Jan Uhls, brother Mike Littlepage and wife, Kim; sister, Michelle Williams, and husband, Gerald; and numerous nephews and nieces. She is preceded in death by her parents Ish and Opal Littlepage, and sister Carolyn Coulter.

 

In keeping with Debbie’s wishes, no funeral service will be held. Cremation has taken place under the direction of David W. Barnes Funeral Home in Coffeyville.  

 

The family suggests memorial contributions can be made to the Chautauqua County Animal Shelter, P.O. Box 232, Sedan, KS 67361.  These can also be left with the funeral home or mailed in care of David W. Barnes Funeral Home 306 N. Cline Rd. Coffeyville, KS 67337.  

 

Please join us in celebrating the life of Debbie Lewis by sharing your memories, photos, and stories on her memorial page at www.dwbfh.com Her life was full of adventures, laughter, and kindness, and we invite you to help us keep her spirit alive by sharing your experiences with Debbie. Your stories and photos will serve as a testament to her adventurous spirit, her wit, and her unwavering reliability.

Robert W. "Bob" Gillham

 

Robert W. “Bob” Gillham went home to Jesus on September 26, 2026, with Michelle and Dianne by his side.

 

Born April 4, 1943, in Coffeyville, Kansas, Bob was the eldest of Clarence O. and Lola (Robison) Gillham’s three children. He grew up in Caney, graduated from Caney High, and earned a degree in Lithography from Oklahoma State Tech in Okmulgee.

 

His degree led him to open Advanced Printing in Tulsa. Until his final days, he enjoyed discussing every aspect of the printing business.

 

His greatest joy in Tulsa was welcoming daughter Michelle Dawn with his wife, Patricia. Michelle’s name always brought a smile to his face.

 

When his health declined, Bob returned to his childhood home in the late 1970s. Despite painful losses and ongoing health struggles, he remained positive, kind, and generous. He served as a First Christian Church deacon, coached peewee baseball, bowled, read library books, played golf, and helped golfers obtain needed equipment.

 

In the early 2000s, as our Daddys health failed, Bob provided the strength and help Mom needed to care for him at home.

 

In 1989, Mom and Daddy took Bob to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, where surgeons removed a golf-ball-sized brain tumor that had caused his lifelong epilepsy. Another neurosurgery patient was President Ronald Reagan, recovering from a fall from his horse. Bob, Mom, and Dad saw the President and Secret Service pass Bob’s room during a required walk.

 

After their mother died in 2022, Bob and Dianne needed to move to Texas to be near their children. On February 15, 2023, Bob moved to Harvest of Aledo, minutes from Dianne, who visited almost daily. Though he lived in Texas, his heart remained in Caney, and he longed to return.

 

At Harvest, Bob befriended many staff members and residents’ families. They remember his humor, courtesy, gentleness, and compassion. He loved discussing printing, the Chicago Cubs, hockey, and music—especially old hymns, though his radio was usually tuned to Air1.

 

Days before Bob’s passing, Dianne asked whether she should tell everyone he was “as handsome as ever.” With a sly smile, Bob replied, “That would be an honest statement!” Everyone laughed.

 

Bob’s memory will bless his daughter, Michelle (Lou), and Anne and Will of Wylie, Texas; brother Steve (Debbie) of St. Charles, Missouri, their son Steven Michael (Amanda), and daughters Amelia of St. Peters, Missouri, and Madison of Springfield, Missouri; sister Dianne Schabel (Tom, deceased) of Aledo, Texas; her sons Tom (Angie) of Sunnyvale, Texas, and Tim (Carmen) of Aledo, Texas; Tom and Angie’s daughters, Kristen (Karsten) and Henry Griel of Grand Saline, Texas, and Alyssa of Dallas, Texas; and Tim and Carmen’s children, Audrey (Michael) Birdwell of Waco, Texas, Kaley of College Station, Texas, Luke of Dallas, and Maggie of Aledo, Texas. Cousins from Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and Arizona will also gather to honor him.

 

Ford-Wulf-Bruns Chapel of Coffeyville, Kansas, is honored to be directing services. The family will receive friends Tuesday, October 13, 2026, from 5–7 p.m. at Potts Chapel, 107 N St., Caney. The funeral will be held there at 11 a.m. on October 14, followed by burial in Sunnyside Cemetery near Bob’s parents, grandparents, and uncle.
