John Edward Kirkpatrick

John Edward “Ed” Kirkpatrick went home to be with our Lord and Savior on Tuesday, March 10, 2026 at the age of 87. He was born June 24, 1938, in Monahans, Texas, to John Spencer (Spence) and Norma Louise (Bess) Kirkpatrick. He was the oldest of eight children—five boys and three girls—and grew up in a large West Texas family.

In 1961, Edward joined the Army and was stationed in Redmond, Washington. While there, he met the love of his life, Gloria Dawn McCoskrie, on a blind date on Bainbridge Island. Ed proposed on their second date, and six months later they were married on September 16, 1961. Together they built a life centered on faith and family, raising four children—two sons and two daughters.

In their early years of marriage, Ed and Gloria moved between Washington and Texas before settling in Midland, Texas in 1970, where they lived for more than two decades.

Edward loved the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing, and the family spent many memorable vacations at Bonito Lake in Ruidoso, NM, where they made countless cherished memories camping and fishing together.

Faith and ministry were central to Edward’s life. As a young boy, he joined the Primitive Baptist Church in Midland, where he was baptized at the age of 10 by Elder Ben Howse. Even in his youth he was known as a devoted student of the Bible, memorizing scriptures that stayed with him throughout his life. During these years, he developed a deep admiration for Elder Hilton Crain, who would later become one of his fathers in the ministry.

Although Edward felt called to the ministry early in life, that calling was set aside for many years while he served in the Army and raised his family. Before marrying Gloria, he told her he believed he had a calling to preach and that the life of ministry might someday be part of their future together.

Before his ministry work and later alongside it, Ed spent much of his life in the building trades. As a young man, he worked with his father, a house mover, learning construction and heavy equipment work. Upon Ed and Gloria’s final move to Midland in 1970, Ed worked in masonry and construction management, and he eventually founded his own commercial remodeling business, Kirkpatrick Kontractors, in 1977.

During those years in Midland, Edward felt it was time to stop running from his calling to preach/share the Word. The family began attending services under Pastor Elder J. E. Barrington, who began asking Ed to take time in the pulpit.

Edward was ordained to the full work of the ministry in July, 1978. He soon found himself preaching and traveling across Texas for church meetings and associations. Not long afterward, he helped a group of believers in Colorado City, Texas who were meeting in homes. With encouragement from Elder George Burt, Edward labored with them to establish a church, helping them purchase and remodel a building and form a thriving congregation.

In 1991, at age 51, Ed underwent major heart surgery after experiencing severe chest pains. This experience led him to focus more on his health and to consider changes in his work and lifestyle. God provided that change by way of a call to pastor a church in Norfolk, VA (Tidewater PBC) in 1992. Edward obediently answered that call, closed his business, and moved himself and Gloria to Virginia in July of that year. There, Edward faithfully served the congregation for the next 13 years. Even after returning to Texas in 2005 to be closer to family, Ed and Gloria continued traveling back to Virginia for annual meetings and special occasions for many years.

While serving as a pastor in Virginia, Edward also worked as a housing inspector for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), traveling throughout Virginia and occasionally across the country. After being away from family and their many grandchildren for those thirteen years, Ed and Gloria decided to make their way home to Texas. They moved to the Dallas-Fort Worth area, living in Arlington and later in Melissa to be closer to family. During these years, he served churches in Wilson, Oklahoma; Stephenville, Midland, and Seagoville, Texas; and the couple later joined Dixie Primitive Baptist Church in Whitesboro, Texas.

Ed was preceded in death by his parents, Spence and Bess Kirkpatrick; his brothers Roy Kirkpatrick and Raymond Kirkpatrick; his sister Louise Neatherlin; and his grandson Alec Edward Kirkpatrick.

He is survived by his beloved wife Gloria Kirkpatrick; his children Eddie Kirkpatrick, David Kirkpatrick and his wife Vicki, Karin Davies and her husband Scott, and Kathy Miller and her husband Paul; his brothers Donnie Kirkpatrick and Paul Kirkpatrick; his sisters Nell Whitmore and Joann Merworth; fourteen grandchildren and three great-grandchildren; as well as many extended family members, church family, and friends who were blessed by his life and ministry.

Truly, Edward’s life was one of service to the Lord and the Lord’s people across the country. Ed was loved and admired by so many and left his mark on the countless lives his works touched.

Visitation will be held Sunday, March 15, 2026 from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm at the Wade Funeral Home, 4140 West Pioneer Parkway, Arlington Texas. A Funeral Service will be held Monday, March 16, 2026 at the Old School Primitive Baptist Church,1075 North Little School Road, Arlington, Texas with singing beginning at 10:45 am and the service to start at 11:00 am.

Boyce Celton Megason

Boyce Celton Megason, 92, passed away on March 9, 2026, in Arlington, Texas. He was born on November 20, 1933, in New Boston, Texas, and lived a life marked by devotion to family, service to others, and a steady, hardworking faith that guided him through every season.

Family was always at the center of Boyce's world. He was the kind of man who showed up, helped without being asked, and loved in a way that made people feel safe and supported. Boyce would give you the shirt off his back, not as a figure of speech, but as a reflection of who he truly was. Having grown up with very little, he learned early what hard work meant, and he carried that grit and determination with him for the rest of his life.

Boyce's sense of duty started young. At just 14 years old, he joined the U.S. Army, a decision that spoke to his toughness, courage, and deep desire to be part of something bigger than himself. That same commitment to service later defined his long and respected career in law enforcement.

Boyce retired from the Arlington Police Department on May 25, 1990, after years of dedicated service. He was passionate about being a police officer and proud of the work he did. For many years, Boyce served undercover in narcotics, a role that required courage, discipline, and a willingness to go where others could not. In the 1970s, Boyce served as the Police Chief at the University of Texas at Arlington, further demonstrating the trust and respect he earned throughout his career. He also provided security for President George H. W. Bush, and later for President George W. Bush. Boyce's professionalism and commitment did not go unnoticed, and he was honored with the Police Officer of the Year award, a recognition that reflected both his skill and his character.

Outside of the badge, Boyce had an adventurous spirit. In his younger years he boxed, practiced Tae Kwon Do, and challenged himself physically in ways that spoke to his discipline and drive. He also loved scuba diving with his wife, Janet. Together they made memories traveling to various tropical destinations with one of their many favorites being Cozumel, and their favorite place for scuba diving was the Grand Cayman Islands, a shared joy that blended adventure, partnership, and the kind of companionship that made life richer.

Boyce was also a man of tradition and simple pleasures. He was a fan of the Texas Rangers as soon as they came to Arlington in 1972. And cheered (or jeered) for the Dallas Cowboys, especially during the Tom Landry era. He enjoyed classic comfort foods, scrambled eggs and toast, cheeseburgers, and strawberry shakes from Braum's. He loved holidays, especially the Fourth of July, which was his favorite. One of Boyce's proudest moments was being named Grand Marshal of the Arlington Fourth of July Parade, an honor that meant a great deal to him. Thanksgiving and Christmas were also special times, when family and togetherness took center stage.

Faith was a steady foundation throughout Boyce's life. He was a member of Meadow Lane Baptist Church, and Tate Springs Baptist Church, then later attended Fielder Road Baptist Church. His faith was not just something he talked about, it was something he lived, through kindness, service, and a sincere care for others.

Boyce is preceded in death by his mother, Murner M. Thompson; his brothers, Bryant and Billy Megason; Son-In-Law, Anthony Schwiger; and beloved great-grandson Cooper Allen.

Above all, Boyce was devoted to his family. He is survived by his loving wife Edna "Janet" Megason of 74 years; their daughters, Kathy Schwiger and Sue Duncan (Daniel); two cherished granddaughters, Rachel Timmons (Brian) and Michele Allen (Collin); grandson, Marc Saunders. Boyce also leaves behind five great-grandchildren who gave him much joy; Jaron Saunders, Abigail Timmons, Levi, Madison and Jordan Allen; Sister, Charlcie Easley and many friends who will forever hold his memory close to their hearts.

A Remembrance Gathering will be held Thursday, March 19, 2026, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Wade Funeral Home in Arlington. With a Celebration of Life Service to be held Friday, March 20, 2026, beginning at 2:00 p.m. at Wade Funeral Home in Arlington, with a graveside service to follow at Hawkins Cemetery.

Boyce Celton Megason lived a life of courage, loyalty, and generosity. He served his community with honor, loved his family with steadfast devotion, and left behind a legacy of integrity and strength that will be remembered for generations.

Melvin Lamar Royal

Melvin Lamar Royal passed away on March 5, 2026, at the age of 52. Born on November 14, 1973, in Gainesville, Texas, he was the beloved son of the late Chanetta Denese Royal. Melvin was baptized at an early age at Mount Olive First Baptist Church, where he began building the strong spiritual foundation that guided him throughout his life.

From early childhood, Melvin carried a deep and genuine love for baseball. That passion shaped the course of his life, guiding him onto fields across the country as he and his twin brother, Marvin, traveled and competed throughout their high school years. Those journeys not only strengthened his dedication to the game he adored but also created memories and bonds he cherished throughout his life. Although baseball held a special place in his heart, Melvin had a true passion for all sports, especially softball, basketball, and football.

Deeply passionate about uplifting young people, Melvin dedicated his career to education. He zealously poured himself into every child he encountered, meeting each student with patience, compassion, and unwavering belief in their potential. Nothing brought him more joy than seeing former students return to visit him after graduation—a powerful testament to the lasting impact he made in their lives. Through his work, he shaped minds, strengthened spirits, and touched countless hearts.

Melvin shared an unbreakable bond with his twin brother, Marvin—a connection defined by deep love, unwavering loyalty, and a lifetime of shared memories. From childhood adventures to adulthood milestones, the two walked through life side by side, often described as reflections of one another in both spirit and strength. Marvin was not only Melvin’s brother but his closest friend, confidant, and constant source of joy. Their bond remained steadfast through every season of life, and Melvin’s love for his twin was evident to everyone who knew them. It was a relationship built on mutual respect, laughter, and a profound sense of togetherness that will forever live on in Marvin’s heart.

Melvin met and married April Royal in Arlington, Texas in 2009. Family was at the center of Melvin’s world. He loved them fiercely and wholeheartedly, offering unwavering support, encouragement, and protection. His kindness, humor, and steadfast presence touched everyone who knew him, and his legacy will live on through the countless lives he influenced and the family who adored him.

In 2024, Melvin was diagnosed with duodenal adenocarcinoma, a rare and aggressive cancer of the small intestine. Though his journey brought many highs and lows, one thing remained constant: his unshakeable faith. Even on his most challenging days, Melvin remained positive, gracious, and full of light. He carried a smile that uplifted those around him, and he left a lasting impression on every hospital he entered. Staff, patients, and visitors alike were drawn to his gentle strength, and he was continually met with extraordinary kindness and favor throughout his battle.

Melvin is preceded in death by his mother, Chanetta Denese Royal; his grandmother, Minnie May Farmer; his grandfathers, Samual L. Farmer and “Pie” Hennesy; one uncle, Ronny Royal; and one cousin, Marcus Farmer. He leaves to cherish his loving memories, his wife, April Royal, his son, Andrew Bowman (Angel), and his daughter, Ashlyn Royal; two grandchildren, Amari Bowman and Alana Bowman, who brought him immense joy. Melvin also leaves behind his devoted twin brother, Marvin Royal (Keli), and his sister, Samantha Davis (Zack), three nieces, Makenli Royal, Malia Royal, and Adrianne Wright, one uncle, Laney Royal, and three aunts, Carletta Ballard (Arthur), Brenda Hurd (Jeffrey) and May Farmer along with a host of cousins, and friends who will forever hold his memory close to their hearts.

We bid farewell to Melvin Royal, who danced through life with a vibrant soul, touching the hearts of everyone he encountered with an unforgettable grace. His presence brought warmth, joy, and light to all who knew him, leaving behind a legacy that will continue to inspire and uplift for generations to come.

Melvin's Celebration of life will be livestreamed for anyone who can't make the services.

Dennis Edward Roberts

Dennis Edward “Denny” Roberts, 87, of Arlington, Texas, passed away peacefully on March 3, 2026, after a private battle with cancer.

He was born on September 8, 1938, in Rochester, New York, and was raised by his grandmother, who played a central role in shaping the independent and resilient person he became.

During his engineering career in Texas, he worked on government projects with several aerospace companies, including Bell Helicopter, General Dynamics, and Lockheed Martin. While working at Lockheed, he met Mary Lou, beginning a life together that would span more than thirty years.

Denny lived a life marked by perseverance, curiosity, and a sharp sense of humor. Those who knew him remember his thoughtful nature and steady presence. He approached life’s challenges with a problem solver’s mind and an amazing wit.

He had a lifelong love of puzzles and enjoyed anything that exercised his mind. Whether it was a crossword, a jigsaw puzzle, or a problem waiting to be solved, he rarely turned down a chance to test himself. He was also an avid reader and spent many peaceful hours with a good book. He was always up for a road trip and enjoyed setting out on multi-day adventures in the truck.

He found great joy working with his hands in his woodworking shop, where he could build, repair, and craft things with care. He also had a special affection for Golden Retrievers, whose loyal and gentle nature reflected a softer side of his personality.
