Kingston Isaac Saavedra, 7 months, slipped into the arms of his Heavenly Father on December 10, 2025. He was born on April 15, 2025, to Isaac and Cheri Saavedra.

Although he was with us only for a short time, Kingston filled our lives with such joy. God allowed him to be in our lives to complete a mission, and he did just that. Kingston was a loving, happy boy. He adored his dad and loved playing with his sisters.

When his mommy got home from work, the first thing Kingston did was grab her nametag and rip it off her shirt! Kingston had learned to crawl, had one bottom tooth, and was learning how to stand up! The joy that he exuded with his smile and his tongue sticking out was immeasurable.

Kingston demonstrated our Heavenly Father’s Agape love to his parents, and they will be forever grateful for that.

He was preceded in death by his grandma, Tracy Bailey, and an aunt, Amberly Saavedra. Left to cherish his memory are his parents, Isaac and Cheri Saavedra; his sisters, Gracie, Daniella, Jocelynn, and Avalynn; great-grandmothers, Linda Bailey and Louisa Candelaria; a grandmother, Beverly Saavedra, and a grandpa, Leroy Saavedra. He is also survived by several aunts and uncles and cousins.

Kingston's family will receive visitors from 1:00-6:00 p.m. on Friday, December 19, 2025, at Lighthouse Funeral Home, 3707 Wolflin Ave. Funeral Services will be held at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, December 20, 2025, at Living Water Family Church, 2500 S. Eastern St., Amarillo, Texas. Interment will follow at Llano Cemetery East.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Genabeth Rawlins Wilson, known mostly as Gus, on December 12, 2025. She was a force of nature—stubborn, independent, and fiercely loving. Her fiery spirit and unwavering work ethic shaped her life and inspired everyone around her. For many years, she brought joy to others as a talented hairdresser, creating beautiful transformations and lasting connections with her clients.

Gus was born October 24,1949 in Sherman, Tx. Gus had a green thumb and found joy in gardening, nurturing her plants with love and care. She was a devoted fan of Elvis, often filling her home with his music, and her beloved dogs were a constant source of companionship. Her creativity was evident in all aspects of her life.

She is survived by her children: John C. Thomas and wife Toni of Clarksville, Tennessee; Eugena "Gena" Wells and husband Alan of Stinnett, Texas; and Sarah Webb and husband Mike of Borger, Texas. Gus held a special place in her heart for her children’s spouses. She cherished her grandchildren, Asher, Paxton, Daniel, Charlotte, and Emlyn, as well as her beloved grandnephew Lonnie and nephew Bo Rawlins of Shamrock.

Keaton Allen Kirton, 16, left this world too soon on December 13, 2025. He was born in Amarillo on July 14, 2009. Keaton was a surprise from the very beginning, and he stole our hearts immediately. Keaton and his dad, George, were inseparable; his circle grew as well as their hearts when his sister, Ivory, arrived, and again when Christi joined them.

While Keaton struggled in school, he thrived in enjoying life—playing video games, going on adventures with friends, dreaming, tinkering on projects; he even dabbled in cooking in the kitchen. He was thinking about attending culinary school. We love you and miss you, Keaton.

The family will receive visitors from 6:00-7:30 p.m. this Thursday, December 18, 2025, at Lighthouse Funeral Home, 3707 Wolflin Ave., Amarillo. Funeral Services will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, December 19, at Pray Amarillo, 4000 SW 50th Ave., Amarillo. Interment will follow at Llano Cemetery East.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Ronald Kamm Walls, fondly known as Ron, who left us on December 6, 2025, at the age of 88. Born in Upper Darby Township, Pennsylvania on October 24, 1937, Ronald’s life journey eventually led him to Tulia, Texas, where he spent 40 gratifying years. As William Shakespeare once said, “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players; they have their exits and their entrances.” Ronald indeed played many roles throughout his life, each with dedication, kindness, and a unique flair that made him the beloved individual that he was.

Ronald was a man of many talents and interests, a lifelong learner, and a dedicated worker. His time in the Army saw him receive two years of Veterinary School. He further pursued his education, earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from Arlington UT. Ronald’s professional journey was as diverse as it was rewarding. He retired as a USDA Warehouse Examiner after 20 years of service, after which he worked independently for various CPA firms, banks, grain companies, cotton oil mills, and feedlots. His work in agriculture, particularly as a Grain Inspector, allowed him to contribute to the community he loved. He was an exemplary worker, mentor, and friend.
