Over the years, Stephon built many meaningful friendships and strong bonds with his teammates. He was known for his compassionate nature, generous spirit, and quick wit. His presence brought warmth, laughter, and joy to everyone he encountered.

Stephon will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. His memory will live on in the hearts of his family, friends, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. If you ask anyone what they will remember most about Stephon, it will always be his smile.

Above all, his greatest love was his son, Stephon Myles Hodge. He adored him completely and was so proud to be his father. His love for his son was endless and will live on through him.

Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing he is now at peace and surrounded by God’s love. We trust that God has welcomed him home, where he is now at peace, free from pain, and watching over those he loves.

He was preceded in death by his grandfather, William (Willie) Hodge; grandmother, Carol Rita Hodge; uncle, Walter Harris; grandfather, Albert Navarrete; and uncle, Andy Navarrete.

In high school he was on the basketball team and played in the Vega marching band.

When attending school, Ben began delivering propane at the age of 13 after his father had a debilitating illness. He continued delivering propane before and after class until his graduation in 1953. Ben was an honoree of the American Legion in Vega and was chosen to attend Boys State in Austin Texas. During his youth, Ben attended church at both the Methodist Church and Church of Christ in Wildorado. He often shared, “I met the Lord when I was 12 years old”. Ben continued business and educational pursuits at Amarillo College and West Texas State University and eventually earned his real estate broker license. Ben also acquired his pilot's license along with his uncle Billy Bob Moore. Together, they had joint ownership of two single-engine aircraft.

Ben met Dolores Jones from Gatesville Texas when she attended West Texas State University. They married on February 18th, 1956, at the Joseph A Hill Chapel located on the campus of West Texas State University in Canyon TX. They moved to Wildorado where Ben continued working as a Philips 66 jobber and Dolores taught elementary school at Vega. Together they had two children Kyle Lee Moore and Gina Gay Bailey. Later in life, they loved to travel in their motor home. Including a trip through Copper Canyon in Mexico to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary in 2006. They were married 54 years before Dolores passed away November 30, 2010, from complications associated with rheumatoid arthritis.

Throughout their marriage, Ben and Dolores engaged in several business ventures. In the spring of 1958, after a downturn in the propane business, Ben and Dolores entered into a business venture with AF Moore to sell crop fertilizer. They used Dolores's first year teacher’s salary as seed money to buy into the partnership. In 1985 they purchased the AF Moore Phillips 66 Gasoline jobber ship and changed the name to DOBE Fuel. In 1987, they purchased the Phillips 66 jobber ship in Claude Texas. DOBE Fuel provided propane across most of the northern Texas Panhandle delivering to oil fields, convenience stores, and private individuals.

After being in business for 54 years, Ben retired in the year 2000. He and Dolores enjoyed traveling the United States and Mexico. For many years, he served as a Deacon of the Palo Duro Baptist Church and was the Fire Chief for the Wildorado Volunteer Fire Department. He served as Oldham County Commissioner for 20 years and was among those who led the initiative to build the Oldham County Airport. He also served on the Wildorado Independent School Board of Trustees President, the Wildorado Water Supply Corporation and a member of the Oldham County Appraisal District Board of Directors. Ben was honored as the 2013 Man of the Year by Oldham County Chamber of Commerce in recognition of his contributions to the community.

Ben married Joann Mode on April 16th, 2011 at Palo Duro Baptist Church in Wildorado Texas. They made their home in Wildorado and in 2013 started the Wildorado U-Store-It storage business. Ben and Joann enjoyed traveling in the motorhome and traveled over 77,000 miles together.

Ben never met a stranger, and he struck up conversations with people everywhere he went. He always enjoyed visiting and sharing stories with friends and acquaintances. He particularly enjoyed being part of the Walk To Emmaus Sessions.

Ben Moore is survived by his wife Joann, a son Kyle Moore and wife Sheila, daughter Gina Bailey and grandchildren Ben Moore and wife Kori, Kevin Bailey and Cara Bailey.

Eula Mae Bax, 77, of Amarillo, TX passed away April 2, 2026.

Rosary will be said at 5:00 PM, Tuesday, April 7, 2026 at Boxwell Brothers Ivy Chapel, 2800 Paramount with a visitation and small slide show following from 5:30 – 7:30 pm. Funeral mass will be celebrated at 10:00 AM, Wednesday, April 8, 2026 at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church, 4100 Coulter. Burial will follow at Memory Gardens Cemetery. Arrangements are by Boxwell Brothers Funeral Directors.

Eula was born February 1, 1949 in Amarillo, TX to Jim and Shug Alford. Eula graduated from Palo Duro High School. She married her soul mate Jim Bax at St. Lawrence Catholic church in Amarillo Tx on August 25, 1967. They were happily married for 58 years. Jim always referred to her as “Babe”.

Eula’s occupation was Mama and Grandma. She was very strong and the glue that held the family together.

Eula (Babe), (Momma) never knew a stranger. She always had a beautiful smile on her face. Wherever she went, she had a gift for striking up a conversation, making people feel seen, and turning everyday moments into meaningful exchanges. She had a way of knowing all that was going on around her—especially around her home and on her block—always aware, always caring, and always involved in the lives around her.

Evenings were a cherished time for Babe. Life slowed down as she and her beloved Jim sat together in their rocking chairs, cold beers in hand, watching the neighborhood and, in her own way, solving all of life’s problems. Those quiet moments—filled with conversation, observation, and simple joy—captured the essence of who she was: present, thoughtful, and content with life’s simple pleasures. She loved listening to music while playing pool, co****le and games with the family. Eula won first place in the last family co****le tournament with her nephew Cory Alford.

Babe was a devoted mother whose love was steady and strong, a woman whose warmth drew people in, and a presence that brought comfort just by being there. Her laughter, her curiosity about others, and her unmistakable way of making everyone feel welcome will be deeply missed. Her beautiful smile will always be remembered. She never went anywhere without her hair and make up being done.

She was preceded in death by her parents Jim and Shug Alford, sisters Peggy Koetting, Jo Ann Meyer and brother Charlie Alford.
Eula is survived by her husband Jim; son Mark Bax and wife Leslie; daughter Denise Kerbs and husband Jeff; daughter Monica Gosser and husband Josh; grandchildren Michael Bax and wife Stephanie, Hayden Bax and Samantha Kerbs; great-grandchildren Chloe and Calli; brothers Larry Alford and Wife Shannon, Lawson Alford and wife Pat; sister Linda Robinson; and all her fur babies Lucy, Lacy, and Blue.

Terry Earl Norman passed away March 27, 2026, at his home in Buchanan Dam, Texas, after a yearlong valiant confrontation with a rare and aggressive cancer. Terry was born December 30, 1942, in Amarillo, Texas to Earl and Margaret Norman. He graduated from Tascosa High School in 1962 and went on to graduate from West Texas State University with a degree in business and marketing. Following his dream, he immediately moved to Colorado Springs and began a successful career in sales with a pharmaceutical co, then Denver Burglar Alarm and later with VALIC.

Terry grew up camping and fishing in the mountains of Colorado and continued that love of fishing all of his life. If there was water, he would fish it, big water, little water, it didn’t matter. He passed that love and many more wonderful traits to his son, Trent, who was his favorite fishing buddy.

Though Terry grew up in town, at every opportunity he was on the farm of one of his aunts and uncles. He and his cousin, Lee Mason, were as close as brothers, a blessed relationship that has continued throughout their lives.

During college he worked at a boat shop and caught the racing bug. He loved both boat and car racing and for years built and drag raced VW Bugs. Until the end, if there was a race on TV he was watching or recording it to watch later.

Terry had a natural ability to design and build just about anything, from an awesome home in the mountains of Monument, Colorado, to an innovative boat top carrier that had people gawking as they drove down the road because it rode right side up on top of the truck. And he was “the go to guy” always helping whoever needed help to figure out and fix a broken pipe, or add onto a house, or design and build retaining walls, or replace a water heater, or knock out a wall and add a window. He loved the challenge and loved helping make a problem go away.

Terry was married to Bonnie Jean Norman for almost 50 years and despite her battle with ongoing health issues, he kept them traveling all over the country making friends and sharing love and life and lots of laughter. He was devastated by her sudden passing 7 years ago. In the last 4 years of his life, he has been blessed with the love and companionship of a second sweet lady, Patricia Ann Taylor. They were always on the go and Patty has been by his side during this last challenging year.

Terry was preceded in death by his wife, Bonnie, and his parents, Earl and Margaret Norman. He is survived by his cherished son, Trent Earl Norman, of Amarillo; grandchildren, Mitchell
Anthony and Taylor Elizabeth; and his sister, Paula Cutchin and her husband, Ed Cutchin, of Marble Falls, Texas.

Terry will be honored in a graveside service in Amarillo on Thursday, April 2, 2026, at 3:00 PM at Memorial Park Cemetery. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
