GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN
Kevin Lynn Bramley, aged 52, a cherished son, brother, husband, grandfather, and friend, passed away on November 30, 2025, in Andrews, Texas from a blood clot. Born on December 23, 1972, in Great Bend, Kansas, Kevin was a testimony to the strength of family bonds, how deep love will go for family and friends, the importance of hard work, and the power of prayer and faith in our Heavenly Father.
Kevin grew up with his parents, Louie Wayne Bramley and Maryann Bradshaw for a short time before his dad married Melody Ann Mercer, the woman he adored who could do no wrong in his eyes. Mel’s sparkling eyes of love and devotion were just the remedy for Kevin’s heart. Everything that woman did, he copied. Throughout life you could hear him say, “Well Mel does it like this.” With the many losses Kevin had suffered, she was his lighthouse.
Kevin only had one brother, Steven Wayne Bramley. Whom, if you listened to all Kevin’s stories, he tortured endlessly, and defended like a mother cub any time others wanted to kid him. There brotherly bond grew stronger and stronger as the years went by, but their dad’s illness, and later death bonded these two where nothing else life had thrown at them ever could.
Kevin was proud to serve in the United States Army (13 Bravo) from 1991-1994. He was part of the 7th Battalion, 15th Field Artillery, 7th Infantry Division (Light). His time in the military helped to shape his discipline, resilience, and his fierce sense of responsibility – traits he cared with him for the rest of his life.
Kevin married his high school sweetheart, Shelley Rene Clark for a short time, and along came his first daughter, Kourtney Rene Bramley, the apple of his eye. Kevin met his match when he found Christeonna Elayne Smith and started a journey of love and companionship that lasted over twenty-seven years. They built a life filled with joy and sorrow with laughter throughout their voyage. Their love for each other grew stronger with each shared experience, and cherished memory. She worshiped the ground he walked on, and in later years you could find him telling his close friends, she was one-of-a-kind, and he didn’t understand why God chose to bless him.
Kevin married Elayne on June 16, 2000, and he didn’t blink twice before he had a son, Kyle Christopher Taylor Bramley and two more daughters, Kailey Lynn Abbiegale Bramley and Krysten Nikole Annabelle Bramley. Kevin felt “blessed beyond measure” with three more beautiful children. He would look for any opportunity to pull out his walle,t and show his co-workers the “new addition to the family”. He was on cloud nine with how much pride he had for all four of his children. Kevin’s devotion to his family was the very center of his life. His family was his pride, his purpose, and his greatest joy.
With each passing year his family grew. Kourtney married Jared Chase Smith, and together they gave Kevin his first two grandchildren, Khloey Rene Smith and Jared Chasen Kayse Smith of Quinlan, Texas. Kyle married Willow Brianna Denise Stewart, and together they gave Kevin three grandsons, Liam Christopher Kalel Bramley, Finnan Kitt Taylor Bramley, and Cyrus Kane Kyle Bramley of Andrews, Texas. Kevin’s pride and joy was Selena Raelynn Herrera, Kailey’s daughter, of Andrews, Texas.
Kevin had a dedication to his profession which is seldom seen these days. Despite the fact it took him 9 years to find his passion, once he hit on hotshotting, he dove in headfirst, and loved every minute of his 23 years. Kevin made a career of hotshotting, and he not only excelled at it, but genuinely loved it. In the beginning, he worked for places like Rapid Hotshot & Trucking, but later he decided to open his business. Kevin began I-Deal Hotshot almost 9 years ago. In a short time, he had customers loving his hard work ethic, and his go-get-em spirit. Boy that man could fly like the wind to deliver anything, and he would have a smile on his face whether he was pulling up on location or pulling into his driveway. Kevin was happiest when his wheels were rolling.
Kevin was known for his generous spirit, and he was always ready to help. On the road, many times, he would stop at a convenient store to get something to eat, and see someone who needed assistance. It didn’t matter if they needed gas, food, or a few dollars in their pockets, Kevin was happy to help. The entire 23 years he was on the road, he never ceased to give where the Lord led him. “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto me” – Matthew 25:40. What truly defined Kevin was the kind of man he chose to be. He was the person who would drop everything just to help someone in need. If you called Kevin, he showed up. It didn’t matter if it was work or a friend, he had no hesitation, no excuses. That was simply who he was. He would slip on his boots and grab his “git-r-done” attitude as he walked out the door.
Kevin was known for his great love for our country, the United States of America, motorcycles, fast cars, and guns. He was the first to dole out advice, and the last to take his own advice. He would have his loved one’s back every time. He was a firecracker - so full of passion, full of opinions, most of the time a temper, but always a heart bigger than anything. He wanted the best for his family, always pushing them to be better, and loved his family in the loudest, most loyal way.
Kevin’s life was exquisitely woven with family, friendship, love, loyalty, and faith for his merciful Heavenly Father. Kevin is reunited with his beloved father, Wayne, his grandparents, Walter F Bramley Sr, and Lois M. Bramley, his aunt, Brenda Mae Bridges, and his cousin, Jeffrey Wayne Bramley.
He is survived by his uncle Walter Bramley, Jr. of Andrews, Texas, his aunt Linda Bramley of Andrews, Texas, and his aunt Marie Mason of North Richland Hills, Texas, as well as many cousins. He has left a big hole in the hearts of his lifelong best friends: Larry Ellzey, Mike Eppler, and Royce Gibson.
Those who knew Kevin will remember his light-hearted laugh, crooked smile when he was being mischievous, and his profound devotion and loyalty to those he loved. Kevin was the kind of man who made the world better simply by being in it. His legacy lives on – in the family he loved with all his heart, in the people he helped without question, and in the countless lives he touched through his kindness, his humor, and his unwavering strength.
Kevin was unlike any other man, and his absence leaves a space that cannot be filled. Kevin never wanted tears for him to run down your cheeks. We can honor him today, remember him always, and carry forward the love he gave so freely. He would say all he wanted is for us to “pay it forward”.
No public services will be held.

“Dad, I hope you know I miss you more than words can ever say. Life feels a little quieter since the moment you slipped away. I still look for you sometimes in the sky, in a song, in a memory. And even though you’re not here, your love still lives inside of me. I think about all you gave me: your advice, your strength, your care. You never left me empty, you left your heart everywhere. There are days I wish I could call you, just to hear your voice again. But instead, I talk to you in prayer, trusting you’re listening now and then. I hope you’re resting peacefully, Dad, in a place with no more pain. And I hope you know I’ll carry you until we meet again. I love you not just in memory, but in every breath I take.” -- Written by Kailey Bramley.

Barbara Carolyn Abney passed away peacefully on November 27, 2025, in Andrews, Texas surrounded by her loving family.

Carolyn was born on April 17, 1944, in Sumter, South Carolina, to Elsie Gladys Lindley Martin and James Franklin Martin. Her early years in South Carolina laid the foundation for a life characterized by warmth and generosity.

After completing her education at Columbia Business College in Odessa, Barbara entered the workforce as a skilled bookkeeper, a role she dedicated ten years of service to at TESSCO Technologies Inc. before her well-deserved retirement.

The heart of Carolyn's world was her family. She married her soulmate, James R. Abney, Sr., on January 30, 1960, and together they shared sixty-five years of marriage, three children and countless joyful memories.

Left to cherish Carolyn’s memory are her children, James R. Abney, Jr. and his wife Sally, Sherry Stokes and Craig Cummins, and Angela Davis and her husband Brad, sister, Cynthia Blocker, and her husband Larry, all of Andrews. Grandchildren: Jamie Jensen and her husband Kevin, Jalesa Dagenhart and her husband Ryan, JG Stokes and his wife Robbie, Casey Eades and his wife Lauren, and Chrissy Wilson and her husband Brandon. Her ten great-grandchildren, along with numerous nieces, nephews, and other family members, will forever treasure the memories they created with her.

A devout Christian, Carolyn's faith was the cornerstone of her existence. She was a life-long member of the First Baptist Church of Andrews, where she took her first steps in faith through baptism at the tender age of thirteen. Her church family was a source of immense joy and support, and she reveled in her time spent in worship.

Carolyn's zest for life extended beyond her spiritual devotion. She was an active member of the Andrews Ladies Golf Association. Her love for card games and the thrill of the casino were well-known, but it was her time spent with family that she valued above all else.

A matriarch in every sense of the word, Carolyn was the heart of family gatherings. Her home was the hub of celebration, especially on Thanksgiving and everyone gathered when her famous brownies were made.

Carolyn is now reunited with her parents in eternal peace. Her legacy of love, faith, and family will continue to thrive in the hearts of those she has left behind.

Carolyn’s family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff of Permian Regional Care Center, the Memory Care unit and Hospice for taking such exceptional care of her.

A visitation will be held on Monday, December 1, 2025, at McNett Funeral Home from five until seven o’clock in the evening. A funeral service will be held on December 2, 2025, at eleven o’clock in the morning at First Baptist Church of Andrews with Pastor Brant O’Connor officiating.

George Clinton Cagle, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on November 25, 2025, in Andrews, Texas, at the age of 84. Born on February 24, 1941, in Montague, Texas, George's life was marked by his unwavering dedication to his family, his work, and his faith.

George spent his childhood in the rolling landscapes of Montague, Texas, where he developed a love for the outdoors that would last a lifetime. He met and married the love of his life, Jearldean W. Jones, on December 31, 1976, in Andrews. Their union was one of shared joy, mutual respect, and enduring love, celebrated over 48 beautiful years of marriage.

A man of profound Christian faith, George was an active and devoted member of the Maranatha Assembly of God in Andrews for many years. His belief was the cornerstone of his existence, guiding him through life's challenges.

For thirty-eight years, he dedicated himself to the oil and gas industry, where he worked as a truck driver for Key Energy. Even after his well-deserved retirement, the echoes of his strong work ethic and reliability were felt by all who knew him.

George's interests were a reflection of his character—rooted in the earth and crafted with care. He was an avid arrowhead hunter and his talent for woodworking showcased his attention to detail and patience, while his collection of antiques was a testament to his love for preserving the past.

Family was the center of George's world. He leaves behind his loving wife, Jearldean Cagle of Andrews, and his children, who will carry on his legacy: Thomas George Cagle and wife Corina of Odessa, Wayne Jones and wife Linda of Andrews, Dennis Jones and wife Theresa of Hubbard, Iowa, and daughter Sherrie Garner and husband Richard of Andrews. George was a brother to Ose Weldon Mobley of Dallas, Sue Brewer of St. Jo, and Evonne Offerman of California. His grandchildren Christopher, Christy, Misty, Jennifer, Toni, Melissa, Gary, Ricky, Autumn, Ashley, David, and Matthew, along with twenty-four great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren, will forever cherish the memories and lessons he imparted.

George is now reunited with his parents, George Nicholas Cagle and Lena Bessie Fraizer, and his brother Buck Romine, who predeceased him. His passing leaves a void in the hearts of those who loved him, but his spirit will continue to inspire and guide them.

A visitation will be held on Saturday, November 29, 2025, at McNett Funeral Home from ten o’clock until eleven o’clock in the morning. A funeral service will be held at two o’clock in the afternoon at McNett Funeral Home with burial to follow at Andrews West Cemetery.

The Gift of Planning Ahead:

We don’t usually wake up thinking about pre-planning - life is busy, and it’s easy to assume it’s something to worry about much later. But taking a little time now can make a world of difference for the people you love most.

When you share your wishes in advance, you’re giving your family clarity, comfort, and the space to focus on what truly matters. It’s your way of saying, “I’ve taken care of this for you. You won’t have to guess, and you won’t have to carry it alone.”

Pre-planning isn’t about expecting the end. It’s about creating peace - knowing your story will be honored exactly the way you want, with grace and intention. And starting early simply means you can live with a little more ease, knowing the hard parts are already handled.

At McNett Funeral Home, we see planning ahead as an incredibly personal and meaningful gift - one that brings calm today and comfort when it’s needed most.

To begin the conversation, call and schedule a visit with Tony Bianco.

Your family will be grateful - and so will you.

La vida de Antonia comenzó junto a sus queridos padres, Filomeno Baeza y Adela Armendáriz. Sus primeros años estuvieron llenos de la vibrante cultura y las tradiciones de su pueblo natal, las cuales la acompañaron durante toda su vida. Encontró a su alma gemela en Margarito Morin Canava y juntos construyeron una vida plena de amor y compañerismo que duró más de cincuenta años, hasta el fallecimiento de él en 2023.

Respetada miembro de la comunidad de Andrews desde 1976, Antonia era una cristiana devota y una feligresa comprometida de la Iglesia Católica Nuestra Señora de Lourdes. Su fe fue su guía, brindándole consuelo y dirección ante los desafíos de la vida.

El hogar de Antonia era un remanso de calidez y generosidad. Era una cocinera excepcional, conocida por su habilidad para crear deliciosas comidas que unían a las personas. Su casa era un santuario para todos, un lugar donde se reunían familiares y amigos, y donde quien lo necesitara encontraba una mano amiga. Su capacidad para criar a su familia e inculcar valores de respeto y moralidad es un legado que perdurará por generaciones.

Su familia siempre recordará la inquebrantable positividad de Antonia. Era la personificación de la resiliencia, siempre enfrentando la vida con una sonrisa que iluminaba cualquier lugar. Su partida la reúne con su amado esposo Margarito, sus padres y sus hermanos Filomeno y Oscar Baeza.
