Juan Miguel Gonzalez

Juan Miguel Gonzalez, 48, of Fort Pierce, Florida, passed away on January 15, 2026. He was born on May 7, 1977, and lived a life defined by kindness, generosity, and an extraordinary gift for connecting with others.

Juan was known to everyone as a warm, talkative, and genuinely caring person who never met a stranger. He had a remarkable ability to make people feel welcome and valued, and as a result, he was blessed with countless friends across all stages of his life.

A natural caretaker, Juan devoted more than 15 years to lovingly caring for his parents, a role he embraced with selflessness and unwavering dedication. His compassion extended far beyond his family. He was deeply involved with the Special Olympics as a swim coach, where he shared his love of swimming and encouraged athletes with patience and enthusiasm.

Juan had a lifelong love of the water. As a youth, he swam competitively, played basketball, and later worked as a lifeguard. His passion for swimming stayed with him throughout his life and shaped many of his friendships and volunteer efforts.

Academically gifted, Juan won an international science fair during his high school years. He was a proud graduate of John Carroll High School and went on to earn his degree from the University of Central Florida. Professionally, Juan built a successful career in the restaurant industry, rising to the role of general manager. His leadership, work ethic, and people-first approach earned him multiple awards for excellence in restaurant management.

Outside of work, Juan embraced life fully. He loved to cook—and was very good at it—loved to eat, travel, and cruise, and could often be found enjoying a game of blackjack. He had a special affection for animals and took great joy in their companionship.

Juan was an active member of St. Mark’s, a proud member and board member of the Fort Pierce Sportfishing Club, and a brother of Sigma Chi Fraternity. These organizations reflected his love of faith, fellowship, and community service.

Above all else, Juan cherished his family. He was especially close with his nephew Evan, and his role as uncle was one he held with pride and deep affection.

Juan was preceded in death by his parents, Rogelio Gonzalez Pena and Sheila Gonzalez.

He is survived by his sister, Polita Lee (Chris); brothers, Rogelio Gonzalez (Andrea) and Tony Gonzalez (Rita); and his beloved nieces and nephews: Amber Lee, Brandon Lee, Kara Lee, Evan Gonzalez, Alejandra Gonzalez-Acosta, and Rafael Gonzalez-Acosta. He is also survived by his great-nieces and nephews: Nathan Lee, Makenna Lee, and Zora.

Juan Miguel Gonzalez will be remembered for his generous heart, vibrant personality, and the countless lives he touched through friendship, service, and love. His legacy of compassion and joy will live on in all who were fortunate enough to know him.

Services: Visitation will be held on Friday, January 23, 2026 from 5:00-8:00 PM at Haisley Funeral Home, Fort Pierce. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Saturday, January 24, 2026 at 10:00 AM at St. Mark’s Catholic Church.

Judge Charles Thaddeus Carlton

The Honorable Charles Thaddeus Carlton

Judge Charles Thaddeus Carlton passed away peacefully at his home in Naples, Florida on December 17, 2025, at age 90. Widely known as Charlie, he is survived by his beloved wife of 37 years, Lois; his son, Chad (Jill) Carlton; his daughter, Kelley Stahlman and her two sons, Connor and Ryan; his stepson, Brett (Kim) Moncrieff and their two sons, Tor and Max; and his stepdaughter, Tiffany Moncrieff and her three children, Brynn and Bailey Moncrieff and Brooke Del Duca. Charlie was predeceased by his grandmother, Virgie “Mammy” Pinson; his mother Alka “June” Carlton Vest; his father Thaddeus Hudson Carlton; and his son, Marshall Carlton.

Born and raised in Fort Pierce, Florida, Charlie’s upbringing included weekends and summers working as a cowboy on the family’s cattle ranches, first in St. Lucie County at the Cane Slough Ranch and later in Glades County, where the ranch house and outbuildings still stand.

Charlie attended the University of Florida, pledged Pi Kappa Phi fraternity, and remained an avid Gator fan throughout his life. After graduating from university in 1957, he served as a Captain in the Marine Corps for three years. He commenced his legal career upon entering Stetson University's College of Law where he graduated first in his class in 1963 as a recipient of the Delta Theta Phi Key for Excellence in Scholarship. Upon admission to practice law in Florida, Charlie joined his father’s law firm as an associate, soon advancing to partner in the Carlton, McCain, Carlton & Brennan Law Firm in Fort Pierce. After the death of his father in 1965, Charlie helped his mother maintain the family cattle business for several years. He obtained his pilot’s license under the tutelage of his Uncle Reuben so that he could travel quickly and more efficiently manage his legal and ranching obligations.

In 1968, Charlie was elected State Attorney for the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit. In 1970, then Florida Governor, Claude R. Kirk Jr. appointed Charlie to the Twentieth Judicial Circuit to serve as Circuit Court Judge. Charlie was reelected to that position in 1972, 1978, 1984, and 1990. He retired from fulltime judicial service in 1997, having served as Administrative Judge, Chief Judge, and Deputy Chief Judge during those twenty-seven years of service. He also served as Associate Judge on the Second and Fourth District Courts of Appeal. However, for an additional fifteen years until his full retirement from the bench in 2012, Charlie continued to serve in the Twentieth Judicial Circuit as Senior Judge, civil court mediator, and arbitrator.

Charlie remained active throughout his life. He spent his early years hunting and fishing with his family. He was an original member of NCH’s Wellness program in the 1980s. It was through that program, where he participated in biking, swimming, and triathlons, that he initially met his wife. Later, during his partial retirement, Charlie learned to love snow-skiing and enjoyed longer stays in Vail, Colorado, which he referred to fondly as his second home. Charlie’s zeal for life and passion for new experiences was evidenced by his travels to more than eighty countries and visits to each of the seven continents.

Generous with his time and knowledge, Charlie was also an active and involved member of his community. His achievements and associations include: Florida National Guard (1953-56); Assistant City Attorney and Special Prosecutor Fort Pierce (1965-1967); Recipient Jaycees’ Good Government Award (1968); Recipient Jaycees’ Distinguished Service Award (1970); Former Vice-president and President St. Lucie County’s Chapter of the University of Florida’s Alumni Association; Former First Vice President United Fund; Past President Legal Services Inc.; Former Director Florida Bank of Fort Pierce; Former Member Board of Directors Stetson Lawyers Association, Big Brothers, YMCA; Former Member Marine Corps Reserve Officers Association, Marine Corps League, Elks and Cattlemen’s Association, Florida Conference of Circuit Court Judges, The Florida Bar, Collier County and American Bar Associations.

However, Charlie’s legacy is so much more than his accomplishments. Though known as a decisive judge, he managed not to be judgmental in his personal life. Charlie was admired for his kind and even temperament. He had a sharp wit, excellent sense of humor, and infectious laugh. He was fair and forgiving, but firm in his principles. Most importantly, he was dearly loved.

Charles was known to his colleagues as “Judge”, to his friends and stepchildren as “Charlie”, to his children as “Dad”, and to his grandchildren as “Popo”. To his wife, he was the love of her life. He was interred at a family cemetery in Fort Pierce during a private service on Saturday, December 27, 2025. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made to either the Alzheimer's Support Network on Pine Ridge and Goodlette Roads or Avow Hospice. Both organizations are non-profits in Naples, Florida.

Barbara "Bobbie" Ann Ecker Thompson

Barbara “Bobbie” Ann Ecker Thompson, 80, passed away on January 9, 2026. She was born on May 18, 1945, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to Earl M. Ecker and Cora Rosella Spencer as the third of eight girls. Bobbie took pride in being known as one of the “Ecker Girls”. She deeply loved her life, and took pride at being a part of a big family. Her role as a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend was something she didn’t take lightly but expressed in every action of love she could.

In 1963, she graduated from McLain High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She married Robert David Shepherd in 1964 and later married Robert “Robbie” Thompson in 1990. She was preceded in death by her parents and two of her seven sisters, Patsy Moss and Brenda Christian.

Barbara is survived by her loving husband of over 35 years, Robert “Robbie” Thompson of Port St. Lucie, Florida; her children, Robert D. Shepherd II and his wife Kim of Mariahville, Maine; Lori Shepherd of Port St. Lucie, Florida; stepson, Robbie Thompson and his wife Mary of Spring, Texas, and stepdaughter, Kelly Zilmer and her spouse Bill of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Her grandchildren: Tori Kirkland; Avery Shepherd; Kalieann Shepherd Priddy; Jacob, Tyler, and Gracie Thompson; Nathan and Allison Zilmer. Her great‑grandchildren: Jameson, Avery, Sam, and SailorAnn; and five sisters: Earlene Cochran of Turley, Oklahoma; Linda Smith of Sperry, Oklahoma; Mary Trammel of Turley, Oklahoma; Willie Werre of Fort Pierce, Florida; and Sandra George of Fort Pierce, Florida.

During her years traveling as a military wife, Bobbie began exploring her artistic passions while taking charge of planning and setting up events for Naval officers. Her attention to detail brought her recognition and awards from base command. Later, it was through painting, decorating, and creative crafts that her love for family was uniquely displayed. Her collages captured cherished moments with those closest to her, and her beloved “Acorn Family” display was a testament to the meaning family held in her heart. Time spent with Barbara was always filled with stories of her experiences. She loved traveling and treasure‑hunting particularly at roadside markets during the many spontaneous drives she took with Robbie.

After moving to Port St. Lucie, Florida, in 2010, Barbara and Robbie added another branch to her family tree through the Gator Trace community. She enjoyed non‑competitive golf scrambles followed by afternoon cocktails on the veranda with the Robbie and her sisters. Many Friday nights were spent dining in the lounge and singing karaoke where Barbara was well known for her spirited rendition of “Hooked on a Feeling” duet she performed with her daughter Lori.

Bobbie will always be remembered for her warmth, laughter, enthusiasm, and the deep love she shared with her family and friends. She never met a stranger she didn’t leave feeing like they’ve always known her. Her legacy lives on in the memories she created and the lives she touched.

Serena Mary (Wells) McKay

Serena Mary (Wells) McKay, 96, died January 5, 2026, in her home in Fort Pierce, Florida.

Serena Mary, the eldest of eight siblings, was born on March 14,1929 in Indianapolis, Indiana to Ted and Serena Wells. Married for 58 years to William Joseph McKay, she moved to Fort Pierce, Florida in 1968.

Serena loved family, friends and generously supported family reunions. Her home was a hub of activity for children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren who fondly remember the special toy “box” in the kitchen cabinet. No family visit was complete without snacks, including cheese and crackers, veggie sticks, and grapes. Holidays were always special as family near and far awaited their personal box of Grandma cookies, sometimes shipped overseas to those in the military. Keeping in touch through annual cards for birthdays, anniversaries, and “just because” was one of her favorite activities.

For many years she extended her care into driving a school bus for St. Lucie County Schools. She often spoke of how she managed to motivate children to behave on the bus, including learning sign language and creating special moments. She valued her co-workers and thought of them as friends. In her spare time, she walked around the park, attended mass, enjoyed reading and bowling.

Survivors include her brother Art Wells and sisters Lois (Bob) Copeland, Mary B (Bert) Giumetti, and Rose Ann (Ron) Hays. Also, her children Katherine McKay, William (Anabel) McKay, Jr., Serena DeAtley, Christina (Jack Bradham) Garwood, Patricia McKay, Rose McKay, and Jerome (Lorraine Mostler) McKay; 10 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren, 9 great-great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.

Jean Ann Principe (Torgersen)

Jean Ann Principe (née Torgersen), age 85, passed away peacefully on January 9, 2026, in Fort Pierce, Florida.

Jean was born on July 5, 1940, in Brooklyn, New York, to Lars and Bridget Torgersen. She formerly resided in Stony Point, New York, and most recently made her home in Port St. Lucie, Florida.

A graduate of Bay Ridge High School, Jean was an active member of the Italian American Social Club Ladies Auxiliary. She embraced life with enthusiasm and joy, finding happiness in traveling, visiting casinos, playing card games, and spending time with friends—especially over a lively game of Mah-Jongg. Above all else, Jean cherished her family and treasured the many moments they shared together.

She is survived by her beloved husband of 66 years, John Principe, Sr., of Port St. Lucie, Florida; her children, Lisa (Kevin) Gallagher, John (Loreen) Principe, Jr., Susan (Austin) Kelly, and Anthony (Patty) Principe; her grandchildren, Anthony (Charlotte) Principe, Nick (April) Principe, Amanda (Ole) Dentico, Emily Dentico, Andrew Gallagher, Leanna Gallagher, Abigail Dentico, Joseph Camden (Keelaya) Principe, Robert Principe, and Elyse Principe; and her cherished great-granddaughter, Kapri Principe. She is also survived by her sister, Barbara McKeown, as well as many loving nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Jean was predeceased by her parents, Lars and Bridget Torgersen; her brothers, Lawrence and Edward Torgersen; and her infant twins, Anthony and Judith Principe.

As we mourn her passing, we rejoice in the promise of our faith—that Jean has been welcomed home, reunited with those who went before her, and now lives forever in the light of Christ.

Jean held a special place in her heart for sick children and donated to St Jude’s often, shaped by the loss of her own twin infants. She generously allowed research on her twins, taking pride and comfort in knowing their legacy contributed to the infant RSV vaccines available today.

Jean requested donations in her honor to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 800-822-6344 or www.stjude.org

Services: A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Friday, January 16, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at St. Bernadette’s Catholic Church in Port St. Lucie, Florida.
