James “Jim” Joseph Morris, beloved husband, teacher, and friend, passed away on December 6, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, faith, and lifelong learning.

Services will be held at 2:00 p.m., Wednesday, December 17, 2025, at Amarillo United Methodist Church, 3001 Bell Street, Amarillo, Texas, 79106.

Jim was born on October 28, 1948, in Marfa, Texas, to Nathan and Marjorie Mitchell Morris, who instilled in him a deep appreciation for family, compassion and faith. He was preceded in death by his parents, as well as his brother William Morris.

On September 15, 1979, Jim married the love of his life, Karen. Their 46 years together were filled with deep companionship, shared purpose, and a partnership rooted in faith and mutual support.

Jim attended Texas A&M University and West Texas State University where he received his bachelor and master degrees in English and Education. He served as a college English professor, and later worked as the Special Projects Manager, Institutional Effectiveness and Advancement, at Amarillo College for over 20 years, where he inspired hundreds of students with his passion for literature, language, and thoughtful inquiry. Many of his former students credit him for nurturing their confidence and helping them discover their own voices.

A devoted member of Polk Street United Methodist Church, Jim taught Sunday School and served as an usher for more than 40 years. His gentle presence, welcoming spirit, and unwavering faith touched countless lives within his church family. Jim was also a founding member of Amarillo United Methodist Church.

Jim was a lifelong attendee of the Paisano Baptist Encampment outside of Marfa, where he treasured yearly gatherings with family and friends. Those summers fostered deep bonds and traditions that shaped him throughout his life.

His love for sharing faith extended beyond the church pews. At the beginning of Covid, Jim wrote daily devotionals that he sent by text message to friends, former students, and relatives. These messages were forwarded from person to person, eventually reaching individuals Jim never met. Many shared that his words encouraged them, strengthened their faith, and became a comforting part of their day.

Jim also cherished researching his Scottish and Irish heritage. He found joy in tracing family stories, exploring ancestral roots, and sharing his discoveries with those he loved.

He is survived by his wife, Karen; his brother and sister-in-law Tommy and A’dell Morris; his pets Coco, Bella and sidekick, Buster; an extended family of nieces, nephews, cousins and lifelong friends; as well as many colleagues and former students who will carry his memory in their hearts.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to: Amarillo United Methodist Church Building Fund, Paisano Baptist Encampment at Paisanoencampment.org, under Memorials and Tributes, or Rebel Animal Rescue, Rebelanimalrescue.org.

Carol Ann Campbell, 86, of Amarillo, passed away on Saturday, December 6, 2025.

The family will receive friends from 4:00 – 5:00 p.m. on Friday, December 12, 2025, at Boxwell Brothers, 2800 Paramount Blvd, Amarillo, TX 79109. A prayer and celebration of life will follow at 5:00 PM. As requested, her ashes will be laid to rest in Maui, one of her happy places where many memorable family trips were hosted over the years.

Carol Ann was born on September 9, 1939, to C.R. and Florence Warren. After graduating from Amarillo High School, she attended Amarillo College. She met her future husband, Bruce Campbell, at a house party; the couple became engaged in two weeks’ time and married two months later on February 4, 1961. Neither of their parents knew how briefly they had known each other when they wed. Together, they enjoyed 64 wonderful years of marriage and took tremendous pride in raising their two children, Bob and Becky. Due to her husband's career, their family adventures included moves to many locations– Lincoln, Nebraska; Burlington, Iowa; Quincy, Illinois; Lexington, Kentucky; and Pass Christian, Mississippi– before returning home to Amarillo, Texas. Along the way, she accumulated dear friends with her sweet and loving personality.

During her life, Carol Ann worked at Southwestern Public Service, The Helium Activity, and later owned and operated a Diet Center, yet her greatest devotion was always to her family. She was a member of Polk Street United Methodist Church and PEO. An avid reader, Carol Ann would rarely be caught without a paperback mystery novel. In her free time, she enjoyed games of all sorts, particularly bridge and Upwords, for which she was a competitive club player. Her home-sewn creations, including matching outfits for her grandkids at every holiday, were legendary. She turned her husband’s naval and business travel demands into opportunities to be with her children and grandchildren as much as possible, frequently making solo cross-country trips.

She is survived by her husband, Bruce Campbell; a son, Bob Campbell and wife Jody of Naperville, Illinois; three grandchildren, Brittney Horn and husband Joe of Chelsea, Michigan, Natalie Owen and husband Aaron of Madison, Wisconsin, and Ross Campbell of Chicago, Illinois; five great-grandchildren, Kayla, Hailey, and Skyler Horn, and Vincent and Peter Owen.

Carol Ann is also survived by two sisters, Debbie Mullins and husband Bill of Lubbock, Texas, and Jo Dawn McCormick and husband Steve of Bonney Lake, Washington; and six nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her daughter Becky, and her brother-in-law Laird Campbell and his wife, Connie.

Waylan Carl Bradley, 84, passed away on Sunday, December 7. 2025 surrounded by his family after a 9-year battle with dementia.

Visitation will be from 2-3:00 PM, Sunday, December 14, 2025 at Boxwell Brothers Funeral Home, 2800 Paramount. Funeral service will be at 2:00 PM, Monday, December 15, 2025 at Boxwell Brothers Ivy Chapel. Interment will be private in Dreamland Cemetery in Canyon. Arrangements are by Boxwell Brothers Funeral Directors.

Waylan was born on July 30, 1941 in Bellflower, California to a very young Violet (Moody) and Carl Bradley. While still a toddler, the family moved back to Tulia and began farming. By 4 or 5 years old, he discovered his first love, which became farming. He’d run behind the tractor until he was exhausted, eventually falling asleep in irrigation ditches. By 6, he was driving the tractor, his blonde head barely visible. The neighbors called this child abuse, but he thought he was in Heaven. Attending school in Tulia, and farming through the summers, he earned enough money to buy a new ‘57 Chevy, thus began his second love of cars. Eventually he would be known for riding his motorcycle through the hallways of Tulia High School.

He married Karyne Berry in 1966 and they were blessed with two daughters, Anisa and Tina. During this time, Waylan was severely injured in a combine accident. For his Physical Therapy, his father - in - law tied his hand to the gear shift of a truck. For the next 40 years, he had his dream job of trucking. He worked for Cutrell Trucking for 32 years. His friends and adventures through truck driving were many. He was known on the CB as “White Lightening”, and it wasn’t surprising to find him polishing his truck on his days off, or super gluing his hand to the dashboard while trying to mount a phone. He retired in 2012.

He married Jonna Sue Adams on June 28, 1980 after their second date. He inherited Michelle and Trey, and together they blended a family where there were no “steps” only our kids, and Trey learned to keep his mouth closed with 3 older sisters. They celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary this past summer.

He was raised and sprinkled in the Methodist church in Happy, Texas. As he grew older and his faith grew, he felt a deep desire to be immersed in water and was baptized by Greg Corona at Hillside Christian Church in 2013 at the age of 72. He was a member of Hillside Christian Church until he was no longer able to attend.
He enjoyed watching NASCAR, the Dallas Cowboys, and any sport that his grandkids played. They loved traveling to Las Vegas and Ruidoso to gamble as well. He also enjoyed the penny slots, and pretty ladies.

He is survived by his wife, Jonna, his daughters, Anisa (Joe) Kenemore, Michelle (Rick) Errington, Tina (Stan) Sanders, and his son, Trey (Bree) Adams. 15 grandchildren love him dearly, along with his 10 great grandchildren, one of whom shares his birthday and wonders if he will still be able to take his teeth out in Heaven. A brother-in-law, Russ Pool, several nieces and nephews and a brother, Lonnie Bradley, also survive him. He was preceded in death by his parents, a brother, Kenny Bradley, and a sister, Loretta Cope.

The family asks for memorials to be made to Snack Pack 4 Kids or to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.

Private graveside services will be held at Llano Cemetery with Greg Corona officiating. Arrangements are by Boxwell Brothers, 2800 Paramount Blvd, Amarillo, Texas.

John was born November 29, 1953 in Manhattan, Kansas, to Marie Bell and Lewis Keeler. He graduated from Amarillo High School and attended Amarillo College and West Texas State University.

He started attending Grace Church in Houston and became an active member of a Bible study group who ministered to those in nursing homes. In April, 2019, John suffered a massive heart attack and spent three weeks at UTMB in Galveston in a coma. When he woke up, he was blind. Although being blind was a definite challenge, he was able to live alone until a month before his death because of the help from the friends he made in his Bible study.

He was preceded in death by his parents and a sister, Barbara Hedger.

He is survived by his sister Trish Bailey and husband Gerald of Amarillo; nieces, Liz Phillips and Robyn (Todd) Arnhold of Amarillo, and nephews, Rick Hedger and Todd (Jeaneen) Phillips of Canyon Lake.

Adolfo O'Con, 54, of Amarillo, passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of his family.

Celebration of Adolfo’s life will be at 10:00 AM, Monday, December 8, 2025 at Trinity Fellowship Student Ministry Center, 5000 Hollywood Rd. The family asks that you wear any shade of blue in honor of Colon Cancer Awareness. Arrangements are by Boxwell Brothers Funeral Directors.

Born on July 31, 1971, Adolfo lived a life defined by service, adventure, and a deep love for his family. His adventurous spirit, generous heart, and sense of humor will be forever cherished by all who knew him.

Adolfo completed a Bachelors of General Studies in 2013 from West Texas A&M University and earned his nursing degree by challenging the Nursing State Board Exam in 2015. He continued his education and earned a Master’s Degree in Healthcare Administration from the University of Phoenix in July 2020. For more than 25 years, Adolfo served as a healthcare provider working at St. Anthony's Hospital, Northwest Texas Healthcare System, Amarillo Bone and Joint, and High Plains Senior Care, pouring his heart into the medical field and touching countless lives through his compassion and skill. He had a natural gift for teaching, which led to him starting Integrity, CPR and Safety after being diagnosed with colon cancer in August 2020. Adolfo was always eager to guide others-whether mentoring new nurses, helping a friend learn something new, or sharing his wisdom with his children and grandchildren.

Adolfo is survived by his devoted wife of 27 years, Lydia O'Con, and his three children who were the pride of his life: Sarah Monzon and her husband Carlos, Nicholas O'Con and his wife Vivianna, and Christian O'Con. He was "Pawpaw" to his four grandsons, Aaron, Gabriell, Henry, and Samuel who brought him immeasurable joy. He is also survived by his parents, Adolfo and Eugenia O'Con, and his brother, Steve O'Con, his wife Kerri and his grandmother Geneva Gonzales O'Con.

Adolfo loved music, traveling, spending time outdoors, working on his vehicles, and riding his motorcycle. Whether he was exploring a new place or tinkering in the garage, he embraced every moment with enthusiasm and gratitude. His hands were rarely still, and his heart was always full-especially when surrounded by the people he loved most.

Adolfo's life was a testament to living fully, loving deeply, and leaving every person better than he found them. His memory will continue to inspire all who had the blessing of knowing him.

He married the love of his life, Lydia Flores, in 1999, and together they built a life grounded in love, strength, and faith. They were blessed with their son, Nicholas, and together with daughter Sarah and son Christian, creating a home filled with unity, gratitude, and joy. A devoted believer, he loved God deeply and trusted his life to God's purpose-especially after his diagnosis.

His greatest joy came from being with his children and grandchildren. Whether he was hiking, riding his motorcycle, or off on another adventure, he cherished every moment shared with family. He enjoyed traveling, laughing with friends, or simply spending quiet evenings at home with his wife—his favorite place in the world.

After his cancer diagnosis, he gained a renewed passion for caring for his body, dedicating himself to working out and staying strong. He also loved working on his Ford Bronco, a hobby that gave him focus, comfort, and pride. His faith and strength inspired him to create his blog, Warrior's Journey, where he documented his treatments, educated others about colon cancer, and used his testimony to encourage and inform anyone facing similar battles.

He was a devoted husband, father, brother, son, PawPaw, nurse, educator, mentor, and friend, fulfilling each role with sincerity and purpose. With over 25 years in healthcare, he served with compassion, curiosity, and a constant desire to learn. He especially loved mentoring nurses, sharing his knowledge and passion with the next generation of caregivers. His legacy of service, kindness, and perseverance lives on in every life he touched.

May he rest in everlasting peace.

To honor his legacy, the family kindly requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to The Warriors Journey Foundation, through an account an Amarillo National Bank, an organization that will carry on his passion for education and reflective of Adolfo's values of strength, service, and compassion.
