Randell Orris Brickson

Born October 15, 1947

Departed on October 9, 2025

Randell, Randy, is survived by his sister Cathy and brother Paul of Utah; son-in-law Ryan, grandsons Solan and Sawyer, and daughter Jill of Dillon, Colorado; and daughter Jodi and wife Edie of Montrose, Colorado.

Randy was born on the plains of Iowa and moved to Olathe, Colorado at the age of ten with his parents, Orris and Marge, and his siblings, Cathy and Paul. His father worked as a plumber, and his mother was a devoted homemaker. Randy graduated from Olathe High School in 1966.

He attended Fort Lewis College for a year before being drafted into the U.S. Navy, where he served proudly as a Seabee attached to the Marines. His service took him to Vietnam, Cuba, and Texas. Upon completion of his military duties, he received an honorable discharge.

While in Texas, Randy met the love of his life, Edie. The two were married on March 11, 1972, and went on to share more than 53 years of marriage filled with friendship, laughter, and resilience.

Randy built a career as a contractor in Montrose. He was a devoted husband and father, often working long hours and traveling from Olathe to Telluride to provide for his family. In his later years, he faced numerous medical complications, many stemming from Agent Orange exposure during the Vietnam War, yet he faced those challenges with strength and grace.

Randy was a lifelong learner who loved music, reading, and meaningful conversation. He had a brilliant mind, a gift for teaching, and a storyteller’s heart. He listened deeply and lived fully.

He found peace in the outdoors. Randy loved hunting on the peaks of Dexter and throughout the San Juans, where he found beauty in the sunsets and stars. He delighted in the flowers Edie tended in their yard and always took time to admire them. He cherished horses, fall hunting season, and camping trips with his family. He taught his daughters to fish, appreciate nature, and read animal tracks in the first snow of winter.

Randy found joy in the symphony of sandhill cranes in spring, the warmth of the Colorado sun in summer, and the golden glow of autumn leaves. He loved the crisp air of fall—the season of his birth and his passing—and the one he loved most of all.

He was an amazing, dedicated, and protective father to a daughter with disabilities, and a steadfast listener, friend, and hero to his other daughter. He deeply loved his sister and brother and treasured the joy and energy his son-in-law and grandsons brought into his life. Above all, he loved Edie—and Edie loved him. Together, they stood side by side through every season of life.

To witness their love was timeless and an honor.

Randy often said, “I’ll see you down that road.”

We love you, Randy—Brother, Papa, Dad, Husband. You will always be cherished and deeply missed.

“We’ll see you down that road.”

Cremation was fulfilled by Crippin Funeral Home. A memorial will be held in the spring.

Florence "Jo" Amelia Mousner

Florence Amelia Mousner, lovingly known as “Jo,” was born on January 7, 1940, in Olney, Oklahoma. She grew up on her family’s farm, where she learned the values of hard work, responsibility, and gratitude for life’s simple joys—principles that guided her throughout her life.

Jo attended Olney High School, where she was among the few young women to play half-court basketball—a sport she cherished and remembered fondly for the rest of her life. After graduating, she continued her education at Murray State Junior College in Tishomingo, Oklahoma, where she met the love of her life, Stan Mousner. The two married in 1959 and, soon after, moved to Olathe, Colorado, where they built a beautiful life and raised their family together. (Stan preceded her in death in 2022.)

Jo began her career as a teacher’s aide at Olathe Elementary and later became the librarian at Oak Grove Elementary. Her kindness, patience, and passion for learning touched the lives of countless students and colleagues. She had a special gift for making everyone feel valued, encouraged and loved.

In 1964, Jo and Stan welcomed their first child, Stacey, followed by their daughter, Ginnie. Family was always Jo’s greatest joy. Many weekends were spent camping, hunting, fishing, or exploring the Western Slope in their Jeep—creating memories that her family will treasure forever.

She is survived by her son Stacey (Kathy) Mousner and daughter Ginnie (Bruce) Schlagel; grandchildren Tyler (Deanna) Mousner, Tori (Brett) Queen, Ryan, and Holly; and three beloved great-granddaughters—Riley, Harley, and Bryn.

While raising her family, Jo also dedicated time to coaching youth sports, including softball and volleyball. In later years, she discovered new hobbies, enjoying garage sales, crafting projects, and lively board or card games with friends and loved ones. She had a remarkable ability to form deep and meaningful connections, always making those around her feel cared for and appreciated.

Jo was deeply grateful for the compassionate caregivers from PACE who supported her in her later years, forming strong and heartfelt relationships with them as well.

She will be remembered for her strength, compassion, and unwavering spirit. Jo leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and learning that will live on in all who were fortunate to know her.

Services will be held on Monday November 24th at 1:00 pm at the Crippin Funeral home at 802 E Main St Montrose Colorado with a meet and greet to follow at the Montrose Events Center at 648 S 1st St in Montrose.

Lorna Jean Lupton

Lorna Jean Lupton passed peacefully on October 31, 2025 from complications following surgery at the age of 85. She will be missed and forever be in our hearts. Lorna was born April 22, 1940 in Limon, CO to William Banks and Marjorie (Hill) Banks. She moved to Norwood as a small child and never left. Lorna met the love of her life, Dale C Lupton Sr. and they wed on April 6, 1958 in Norwood.

Lorna loved working. It gave her purpose in life. She worked at the local bank, San Miguel Basin State Bank, for many years and took pride in taking care of her local customers. Later in life Lorna was employed at the local gravel pit, United Sand and Gravel. Again, taking care of her local customers was of the upmost importance to her. Lorna worked up to her passing, which is what she wanted. It kept her mind sharp.

Lorna loved and was very devoted to her family which included her parents, children, siblings, grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. She was always there to help if help was needed. She helped behind the scenes and never desired recognition of her good deeds.

Outside of work and family, Lorna volunteered with many organizations usually taking the position of secretary/treasurer. Her favorite organization was the Boy Scouts of American. Lorna was very devoted to her community and helped where she could. Lorna enjoyed camping, fishing (all fish were keepers), hunting, rock hunting and going on drives in the area. Lorna and Dale put thousands of miles on their truck just driving around but never venturing too far from home.

Lorna is survived by her two children: Dale C Lupton Jr. of Fairbanks, Alaska and Carol Ann Lupton-McKeever of Durango CO; sister: Dorothy Fern Mason; grandchildren: Aspen Jimenez, Erica Ritter & Holly Dobiash; and 8 great grandchildren.

Lorna lived a full life and was able to live at home and worked up to the end which was her desire. The community is welcome to celebrate her life along with her family at a graveside service on Wednesday November 12, 2025, 2pm, Norwood Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Lorna’s name to either the Norwood Fire Department, Norwood Cemetery Association or Second Chance Humane Society (Ridgway, CO).

Thomas "Tom" James Manuel

Loving husband of 26 years to Renae, the proud and supportive father of Ashlyn and Rocco. Tom was the very definition of a family man. A true example of what it means to be a devoted husband and father.

Tom, the son of Stan and Debra Manuel, brother of Jeff Manuel and son in law of Roxy and Debra Carleo, passed away unexpectedly on Friday October 31, 2025, in Montrose CO.

Tom grew up in Kremling CO where he was very active in a variety of sports though basketball was his favorite. He left behind a trail of memories in that small town — just as he did everywhere he went.

Tom is now free of his earthly court to freely play basketball with “Newberry” the man he admired, loved and dearly missed; his grandfather, who passed away in 2022. We imagine them both now, back on the court together, sharing laughs and shooting free throws.

Tom was a dedicated friend who would do anything for you and was always uplifting with a joke on hand. Whether it was on the back porch sharing stories, out on the golf course, or during long road trips to referee games, Tom built friendships that lasted a lifetime. He had a unique gift for making people feel seen and appreciated, and his circle of friends — which only grew wider with time — felt more like family.

A basketball referee for more than 25 years, working games up and down the Western Slope as well as countless regional finals and several state tournaments. He loved the close, nail-bitter game with roaring crowds and strived to be fair and consistent. He was the ideal officiating partner - not just for his skill and professionalism, but for his easy-going nature, steady presence and great sense of humor that made the long drives fun.

In addition to officiating, he coached and mentored many athletes over the years sharing his love for sports and his belief in teamwork, respect and perseverance. Many of those he coached and worked alongside credit Tom for shaping not just their skills, but their character. His patience, humor, and wisdom made him a trusted guide and role model to many — and his legacy will continue through the people he inspired.

A celebration of life will be held at Grace Community Church on Friday November 14, 2025, at 4:30 pm.

In lieu of flowers the family suggests a donation to the Montrose Basketball Officials Association (MBOA), supporting the next generation of referees. Checks can be mailed to 1597 Stellar Place Montrose CO 81401.

The family wishes to express their sincerest thank you to the Montrose Fire Department, EMT’s and ER staff at Montrose Regional hospital for their outstanding care and compassion.

Tom will be remembered for his humor, integrity and unwavering love for friends and family - a man who made every court, golf course, and room he entered brighter.

Agustina Sanchez Velasquez

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Agustina Sanchez Velasquez who left us on October 21, 2025, at the age of 71.

Agustina Sanchez Velasquez was born on March 8, 1954. At the age of 15, she married the love of her life, Eufemio Jimenez Ojeda where they had six children: Ana Maria, Nicolas, Miguel, Guadalupe, Marcela, and one who passed away at birth. She was the best friend, wife, mother, sister, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her greatest quality was that despite the hard work she had to do at young age and raising five children she would come home happy. Her children never saw their mother upset, much less angry. She always helped anyone in need, expecting nothing in return. During her free time before her passing, Augustina enjoyed spending time with her family and nature. She often read her Bible outside as she was a devoted Catholic. Agustina is survived by her five children, thirteen grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren.
