Mike was born on May 23, 1961, in Perryton, Texas, to Bob Williams and Alta Williams. He grew up in the Panhandle and carried its values of hard work, integrity, and quiet strength throughout his life.

Mike built a long and respected career as a Certified Public Accountant, working for Rice Construction and their affiliated companies. Highly talented and deeply trusted, he contributed far beyond accounting. He assisted business owners, friends, and loved ones with everything from document preparation to legal insight, strategic planning, and the countless behind-the-scenes efforts that helped others succeed. His guidance was steady, thoughtful, and generously given.

Outside of work, Mike was known for his love of the outdoors. He found peace in hunting and fishing, often saying that the quiet of a field at sunrise or the stillness over water was where he felt closest to God. These moments in nature, shared with those he loved, were among his most treasured.

Mike also loved to travel and spend time with his family and grandchildren. He enjoyed good company, good stories, the kind of laughter that fills a room, and conversations about past adventures and those yet to come. To his sons, he was a source of unwavering support, wisdom, and pride.

Mike is preceded in death by his father, Bob Williams, and his brother, Kevin Williams.

He is survived by his sons Chris & Tiffany Williams, Hunter & Lauren Williams, Brauch & Nicole Williams, Daniel & Jennifer Williams; his mother, Alta Williams; his sister, Beth & JW DeWitt; his brother, Jimmie & Alisa Williams; and his grandchildren: Colter, Carter, Easton, Camden, Lilah, Charlotte, Mia, Hattie, Emma, and Noa Rey.

Julia Ann (Wangle) Hamous, age 77, of Amarillo, TX passed away on September 11, 2025 due to complications from Urachal Adenocarcinoma cancer. A celebration of Life will be held on November 29 from 10 A.M. to 12 P.M. at “In This Moment” in Amarillo, TX. The family asks that you wear bright clothes. Donations in remembrance of Julia can be made to the Amarillo Ronald McDonald House at https://www.rmhcofamarillo.org/donate/. We will also have a box for donations at the celebration of life.

Julia was born June 6, 1948 in Columbus, GA, the daughter of John and Inez Wangle (Walters). Julia graduated from Columbus Highschool in 1966 where she was very involved in the band and played the clarinet.

Julia gave birth to her first two children (Michelle and Joshua) in 1967 and 1969. In 1971, Julia met the love of her life, James (Hap) Hamous in Columbus, GA while Julia was working for the pathology department at St. Francis Hospital. Hap asked her to go with him to an office party and Julia accepted thinking it was the other man that they worked with (having mixed their names up). Luckily, it was the actual Hap that picked her up. At some point during the party, Julia could not find Hap or the kids and ended up finding him playing with them and feeding them cake in the kitchen. She remembered Hap saying at the end of that night that they would be married by Christmas. They married December 11, 1971. Hap adopted Michelle and Joshua and he and Julia raised them together. They enjoyed adventuring around Georgia with the kids and with Julia’s parents but ended up moving to Omaha, NE in 1973 for Hap to finish college and then pursue medical school. The same year that Hap was accepted into Medical school, they welcomed their third child (Amy) in 1975. Julia ran a daycare out of their home in Omaha for 4 years until they moved to Iowa city in 1979. Julia found her calling and favorite job running the Learning Center in the department of pathology at the University of Iowa. While at the University of Iowa she also took a few college courses where she especially loved the courses in nature like botany. In 1983, Julia and Hap moved the family to Amarillo, TX where they would call home for the next 40 years.

In Amarillo, Julia opened her monogramming and gift shop “The Namesake” that she owned and operated. After it closed, Julia then became a professional grandma and dedicated the rest of her life to helping others. She volunteered with many different organizations around Amarillo throughout the years including Meals for Wheels, the Evelyn River’s Coat Drive, Snack Pack for Kids, Habitat for Humanity, and the Ronald McDonald House. She also supported other non-profits like the 101 elite men of Amarillo.

In 1992, Julia and Hap welcomed their first grandchild which later became 11 total. In 2003, Julia and Hap started raising 3 of their grandchildren. Julia, dedicating her life to helping others became immersed in her grandchildren’s lives by volunteering at the school as a home room mom and assisting with events. She won volunteer of the year at De Zavala one year in particular. One of her favorite things was to watch the grandkids compete in sports. She spent a lot of her time with her grandkids, including flying to Houston to visit and taking vacations with them.

The last years of Julia’s life were spent volunteering, taking care of her mother and stepfather and traveling with her husband. They travelled all around the world from in the states like Colorado, New Mexico and Tennessee to Mexico, Italy, France, England, and Belgium. Her happy place was sitting by the pool in Cabo San Lucas.

Julia is survived by her Husband Hap (James) Hamous; Mother, Inez Allen; Brother, Micheal Wangle; Son, Joshua (wife Jamie) Hamous; Daughters, Michelle Peckham and Amy Wilkes; Grandchildren, Lexi (husband Tyler) Miller, Sam (wife Sierra) Hamous, James Reid Lusk, Konner (wife Meagan) Hamous, Brayden Hamous, Grayson Hamous, Jana Hamous, Cassidy Monette, Kori Wilkes, Kayla Wilkes and Kaleb Wilkes; Step Brother, Wesley Allen Jr.; Step Sister, Maureen Irvine; Sister in Laws, Kaylyn (Dick) McBride and Pat Miller.

Our beloved father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Joe Goodwin, passed away peacefully on November 3, 2025 in El Paso, Texas at the age of 91 years young surrounded by his devoted daughter and caregivers. Joe was born in Borger, Texas on May 24,1934 to Aaron "Goodie" Goodwin and Paula Anna Earl, the second of six children. His youth was spent in many Panhandle communities – Dumas, Texhoma, and Canadian. He was a gifted athlete, especially in basketball, which earned him a scholarship to Frank Phillips College after he graduated from Borger High School. Joe met the love of his life, Phyllis Crupper, at Frank Phillips and they were married for 63 years before her death in 2016. After graduating from Texas Tech University, Joe accepted a position with Levi Strauss & Company, where he worked for his entire professional career advancing from a warehouse manager to the national distribution manager for jeanswear in Amarillo, Texas, Florence, Kentucky and Henderson, Nevada until his retirement. In each location, Joe was active in the communities, serving on many non-profit boards and was honored as a Kentucky Colonel during his time in Florence, Kentucky.

Joe and Phyllis returned to Amarillo, Texas after his retirement and enjoyed golfing and socializing at Tascosa Country Club with their friends and family. He relocated to El Paso, Texas to be closer to his daughter in 2019. Joe had many “loves” – gardening, Texas Tech athletics, betting on the ponies, gambling in Las Vegas, smoking his ci**rs and doting on his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was quite the strong guy, having survived pancreatic cancer and many heart operations during his lifetime. We will miss him terribly, especially his quick wit and “Joeisms”.

He is survived by his daughter, Sue Goodwin Anderson, grandchildren Blake Anderson (Nicole) and Lindsay Anderson (Amanda) and great-grandchildren, Ava, Claire and Rivers Anderson as well as his sister, Judy Reid of Houston and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Phyllis Crupper Goodwin, parents “Goodie” Goodwin and Paula Earl Goodwin, brothers Bill Goodwin, Jerry Goodwin, Ronald Goodwin, and sister, Marilyn Goodwin Steding.
Our heartfelt appreciation goes to his precious caregivers – Patricia Soto, Socorro Zuniga, Alexandra Wells, Aurora Rivera and Elizabeth Santos.

A funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m., Friday, November 21, 2025 at Boxwell Brothers Ivy Chapel, 2800 Paramount. Interment will follow in Llano Cemetery. Arrangements are by Boxwell Brothers Funeral Directors.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to your favorite charity in his memory. Online condolences may be shared at www.boxwellbrothers.com.
