In Loving Memory of Kandy Kay Stein

Kandy (Grove) Stein, loving wife, mother, daughter and sister, was born in Lansing, Michigan on June 28, 1959, to proud parents Arnold Grove, Sr. and Phyllis (Worthy) Grove.

Kandy grew up in Laingsburg, Michigan, where she spent her days playing card games with family, horsing around with her siblings on the family farm, and participating in 4-H; both in the sewing club and showing animals. She graduated from Laingsburg High School in 1985 alongside her sister, Melody.

As a young woman, Kandy married Christopher Yelinek and their journeys moved them to Texas which became her forever home. During their many years together, they shared a love for NASCAR racing, weekend drag races and cheering on the Dallas Cowboys. She also enjoyed crocheting, crafting and a good cookout with friends and family.

Later, Kandy met Ron Stein, whom she would marry and spend the rest of her life with. He was the love of her life, and together they shared a relationship filled with kindness, laughter, casino trips, and deep love.

Kandy especially loved finding a good bargain—particularly if it was “only a dollar.” And she’d drive quite the distance to discover new thrift or antique stores, always on the lookout for M&M and Coca-Cola collectibles.

A lifelong cat lover, Kandy’s fur babies became her world. She delighted in watching them play with their many toys while she relaxed with episodes of The Golden Girls.

Kandy is survived by her husband Ron Stein, her four children Stacy (Mike) Downer, Andrea (Sean) Magers, CJ Yelinek, Michael Yelinek; her six grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren, father Arnold Grove, Sr., sister Melody (Tim) Arnst, and sister-in-law Cindy Grove.

She was preceded in death by her mom Phyllis (Worthy) Grove, stepmom Kay (Wing) Grove, brothers Rex Grove and Arnold Grove Jr, sister Tina (Grove) Austin and brother-in-law Kenny Austin.

Kandy leaves behind a lifetime of cherished memories with those who loved her most. Her laughter, bright smile, generous heart and the joy she found in the simple things in life, will continue to live on in their hearts.

Her life will be celebrated with friends and family in both Michigan and Texas this summer with dates to be determined.

Jerry Wayne McBride

Jerry Wayne McBride, known affectionately to many as the "Texas Rebel," passed away on March 13, 2026, in his beloved hometown of Denton, Texas. Born on May 9, 1950, Jerry's life was a vivid tapestry woven with devotion, warmth, and an enduring spirit that touched all who knew him.

For four decades, Jerry dedicated himself to Roselawn Memorial Park, where his steadfast commitment and gentle presence provided comfort and solace to countless families during their most challenging moments. Yet, beyond his professional life, it was the cherished memories of family gatherings and spirited softball games that truly encapsulated the heart of Jerry’s world—moments filled with laughter, camaraderie, and the unspoken bonds of kinship.

Jerry married the love of his life, Carolyn Horn, on March 26, 1971. Their union was a testament to enduring love and partnership, a foundation that nurtured their family and forged a legacy of loyalty and care. Carolyn’s passing preceded Jerry’s, leaving a void that only the memories of their shared life could momentarily fill.

He was a man who found joy in the simple pleasures of life—hunting, fishing, and the artful patience of cooking on his smoker. These hobbies were not merely pastimes but reflections of a soul deeply connected to nature and the rhythms of life.

Jerry's journey was marked by the company of beloved family. He is survived by his daughter, Linda McBride, and son, Jimmy McBride; devoted brothers Billy and Micheal McBride; granddaughters Loren "Stormy" Coin and her husband Logan, and Keeley Hilliard; grandsons Jonathan Nabors and his wife Kelsey, and Robert Hilliard. His heart also extended to great-grandchildren Corsi, Ryan, Greenlee, Nakona, Ryatt, and Brayden, who carry forward his spirit and stories. Jerry's furry companion, Bailey Kay, remained a loyal presence by his side. The fabric of his life was also enriched by many nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends whose lives he touched with kindness and humor.

Jerry was preceded in death by his beloved wife Carolyn Horn McBride, his mother Mackie McBride, father JB McBride, and brothers Jimmy, Timmy, Bobbie Jack, and Tommy. Their memories live on in the hearts of those left behind.

A visitation to honor Jerry’s life will be held on March 20, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the Mulkey-Bowles-Montgomery Funeral Home in Denton, Texas, located at 705 N Locust St. A funeral service will follow on March 21, 2026, beginning at 10:00 AM at the same location, providing family and friends the opportunity to gather in reflection and celebration of a life profoundly lived.

Jerry Wayne McBride lived as he loved—with fierce loyalty, deep affection, and a rebellious spirit that never waned. His legacy is etched in the love he shared, the memories he created, and the lives he touched. He will be remembered as a steadfast pillar of strength and a beacon of Texas heart and soul.

Ben Edward Casey

Ben Edward Casey was born November 21, 1963 in Dallas Texas. He peacefully passed away March 6, 2026 surrounded by his family and loved ones. Ben was a passionate individual with a huge heart, known by those who loved him as someone who lived life fully and sincerely. Everything Ben did, he did with passion—whether it was the things he loved, the people he cared about, or the beliefs he stood by. That same passion showed in every part of his life and made him unforgettable to those who knew him.

Growing up and throughout his high school years, Ben had a strong passion for bull riding. It reflected the fearless spirit and determination that would define much of his life. Those who knew him remember how deeply he threw himself into the things he loved, never doing anything halfway.

Early in his adult life, Ben spent time giving back to his community by working at Dowd's Helping Hand, in Texarkana, where he helped recovering addicts find their way in life. His willingness to support others during difficult times reflected the compassion and heart that defined him.

Ben devoted much of his professional life to the field of computer programming. He studied programming and built a career doing what he enjoyed, applying his curiosity and determination to the evolving world of technology.

Later in life, Ben reconnected with the Lord with the same passion he brought to everything he did. His faith became an important part of his life and journey.

He is survived by his son, Ben Casey; his mother, Judy Holland; his father, Kenneth Casey; his stepmother, Linda Casey; his stepfather, Pat Holland: brothers, Kenny Casey (Pat); and Michael Casey (DeDe); sister, Michele Roeren(Thor); his lifelong friend, Gina Dendy, his stepbrothers and stepsisters, and many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Ben’s family and loved ones will remember him for his strong spirit, his big heart, and the passion with which he approached life. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. His memory will live on in the hearts of those he leaves behind.

Kyle James Beaver

Kyle James Beaver beloved son of Brett and Cassie Beaver of Denton, Tx, ran into the arms of Jesus with a perfectly healed body on March 3, 2026 at the age of three.

Ky (affectionately known as “Ky Ky”) was born on November 4, 2022. During his brief but deeply meaningful time on earth, he filled his home with immense love, laughter, and joy. Ky had a profound impact on everyone who knew him. His infectious smile and joyful laugh had a way of lifting the soul. He was a fighter—resilient, strong-willed, and full of light. Even those who never had the privilege of meeting him in person were deeply moved by his journey.

Through his life, Ky inspired so many of us to love deeper, hope harder, and be better. He also inspired many to become prayer warriors, faithfully lifting him and his family before the Lord.

Ky loved silly noises, glow parties with his family, being outside, swinging, and giving the world’s very best cuddles.

Ky is survived by Brett and Cassie Beaver, whom he knew as Dad and Mom, and siblings Noah and Ava, who loved him dearly.

A memorial service to celebrate Kyle’s life will be held at 11 AM on Tuesday, March 17, 2026 at Gracepointe Church located at 3000 E. McKinney Street Denton, TX 76209. In honor of Ky, the family invites those attending to wear blue to celebrate his life.

In lieu of flowers, donations are being accepted which will go toward KinActive Kids for Malachi (Ky's buddy), as well as toward Ky’s funeral expenses and helping meet the immediate needs of the Beaver family as they grieve.

We will miss you more than words could ever say, Ky. But we know you are running circles around the other kids with your perfect legs, taking in the beauty of Heaven with your perfect eyes, and finally living free from pain.

The Annie Louise Foundation is a local organization that supports medical families and will be collecting funds for the Beaver family to pay for all funeral and celebration related expenses. Donations can be made here

Elmo Blount

Elmo Blount of Corinth Texas passed away February 19, 2026. Elmo was born in Stillwater Oklahoma August 9, 1932. While at Oklahoma A&M, later named Oklahoma State University, he met the love of his life, Darlene Shaver. After graduating with a BS in Mechanical Engineering he and Darlene married and began their life together. Elmo was defined by his focus on family and love of engineering. In 1965 Elmo went to work for Mobil Oil and they moved to Irving Texas with their five children.

During his time at Mobil, Elmo had numerous patents with the highlight of his career in 1978 when he developed the Dynamic Kill method for blow out control which at the time set a new standard. Many of his team from that time meet annually to reminisce about their adventures together at Mobil.

While Elmo’s job required a great amount of travel often exceeding a month at a time there was never a feeling that he wasn’t available. Darlene was a formidable force running the family and when Elmo was home he never missed a ball game, ballet recital or teacher conference.

For Elmo, Engineer wasn’t a job title, it was who he was. At 93 never stopped learning and was constantly reading and loved to design tiny houses to be built on his property in Mexia. His world was Darlene and his family of five children, 14 grandchildren, and 12 great grandchildren.

He is survived by his bride of 71 years, Darlene, children Debbie Evers and her husband Dale, Erick Blount and his wife Lorna, Becky Prickett and her husband Braden and Chris Blount and his wife Sandi.

He is preceded in death by his parents Carlos and Esther Blount, his brother Doyne Blount and his son Dennis Blount.

Great-Grandchildren Amelia, Harper, Alahna, Maxtyn, Rhythm, Bleu, Lily, Avery, Casey, Logan, Val and Stella.

Special thanks to Kendall Jaynes who without her love and care, Elmo and Darlene would not have been able to remain in their home together.

Violet Alma Jauregui

In loving memory of Violet Alma Jauregui

July 2, 2006 – February 20, 2026

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Violet Alma Jauregui. Violet was a cherished young soul who left us far too soon at the age of 19 on February 20, 2026, in her beloved hometown of Denton, Texas. Her passing has left an immeasurable void in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. Born on July 2, 2006, Violet was not only a daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, and cousin, but a kind-hearted soul to many. Her middle name, Alma, literally means soul.

Educational Background and Work History

Violet graduated from Billy Ryan High School, marking a milestone in her life as she was just beginning to navigate her path in the world with a wide, bright road ahead of her. She worked as a Sales Associate and proudly took on the role of Santa's Little Helper at Five Below during the Christmas holiday season, this embodied the spirit of joy and kindness that she shared with everyone around her.

A Creative and Courageous Spirit

From a young age, Violet found her expressive grace on the stage, shining as a ballerina and quietly overcoming her shyness. She later discovered her powerful voice in choir. During high school, Violet was a dedicated member of the choir. Her courage to perform vocally was a true testament to her determination and passion. Violet also volunteered in Football Operations, where she captured the best moments and the energy of Ryan football games through her photography and videography. Beyond the sidelines, Violet expressed her boundless creativity through the digital worlds of Roblox and Minecraft. She also found joy in singing and drawing. Whether through the harmony of song or the delicate strokes of her pencils and brushes, Violet's work was a vivid reflection of her soulful imagination, creative talents and artistic abilities.

A Life of Simple Joys

Her interests were as vibrant and diverse as her personality. Violet enjoyed singing, dancing, drawing, photography, gardening and nature. She wholeheartedly enjoyed spending time with her family and cherished babysitting her cousin, Lily. She found solace in watching Japanese animations and musicals, including favorites like Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer, Hunter x Hunter, My Neighbor Totoro, Sanrio's Pompompurin and Wicked. A lover of sweets and delicious meals, she delighted in Dubai Chocolate, Starbucks Coffee, and dining at Chipotle and the Olive Garden.

Her Legacy of Love

Violet was known for her kind, sweet, and thoughtful demeanor. Her compassion and unwavering love for others left a significant impact on those fortunate enough to know her. Violet is survived by her mother: Kris Garcia, her brother: Jake Alvaro Jauregui Garcia, her grandparents: Alvaro and Mary Garcia, her aunt: Heather Collard, her uncle and aunt: David and Tiffany Morales, her cousins: Ashley Cousins, Terry Robert Cousins, III (AKA "TR") and Lillian Mary Morales (AKA "Lily.") Violet is also survived by several siblings from her father’s side. Together, they will carry forth her memory with love and resilience. Violet is preceded in death by her father, Jose Fabian Jauregui Martinez.
