Wilbur Harold Lewallen

Memorial visitation for Harold Lewallen, 94, of Nacogdoches will be held from 5:00-7:00pm on Friday, February 6, 2026 at Laird Funeral Home.

For his family and dear friends in West Texas, there will be a Memorial Service held at 10:00am on Saturday, February 14, 2026 at Sunset Memorial Funeral Home in Odessa. Visitation will be held prior to the service, beginning at 9:00am.

Mr. Lewallen passed away on Saturday, January 24, 2026 in Nacogdoches. He was born on January 5, 1932 in DeLeon, Texas to Clifford and Nannie Craddick Lewallen.

Harold lived in many communities throughout Texas, including Stephenville, Marshall, Midland, and Odessa, and also spent time in Shreveport, Louisiana. On November 25, 1964, he married the love of his life, LaRue, in Marshall, Texas. They shared 53 years of marriage before her passing.

Harold had a deep love for music, learning and creativity. One of his greatest joys was designing and printing custom birthday cards for family and friends, a small but meaningful way he stayed connected to those he loved. He also enjoyed traveling to New Mexico, visiting Cloudcroft for leisure and Glorieta for music conferences.

Known affectionately as “Papa Lew,” Harold touched many lives, especially among his church family and the children of First Baptist Church in Odessa. While living there, he and LaRue were active members of the church for many years, serving God’s people and sharing the love of Jesus in the community. Harold sang in the choir and men’s quartet and faithfully served as a greeter in the children’s department alongside his wife. He was music minister for numerous churches for over 10 years, including Colorado City, Mineral Wells, Corsicana and Midland. His great experience in sales came from working for Word Records and Commercial Ice Machine Company during the years of 1963 to 1993, when he decided to “semi” retire, giving him and LaRue the opportunity to open and operate Accelerando Music Service in Odessa. The last 8 years of his life were spent in Nacogdoches with his son, Tim and family. During this time, Papa Lew was able to make beautiful memories that will forever be cherished by Tim and Jenny and his 4 beloved grandchildren.

Harold is survived by his son Tim Lewallen & wife Jenny; grandchildren Chris, Sydney, Joseph and Margie; nephew David Lewallen & wife Cheryl and niece Sherry Lewallen Fox & husband Gerald and great niece and great nephew James Lewallen and Staci Walker and their families.

He was preceded in death by his wife, LaRue Lewallen; brothers, Valton Lewallen and Curtis Lewallen and his sister-in-law, Kathryn Lewallen.

Harold will be remembered for his kindness, his devotion to family and church, his love of music and the quiet, thoughtful ways he made others feel seen and loved. However, his complete commitment to spreading the love of his Lord and Savior will be the great legacy left in the lives of his family and those around him.

The family would like to give thanks to Harbor Hospice, with special recognition going to Tracy and Ti for their kindness and compassion shown to Harold during his time in their care.

Samuel Aguirre Ramirez

En Amorosa Memoria del Pastor Samuel A. Ramírez

El Pastor Samuel A. Ramírez, nacido el 25 de febrero de 1957 en Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, México, fue llamado a la presencia del Señor el 2 de febrero de 2026, rodeado del amor de su familia.

El Pastor Samuel se graduó del Instituto Bíblico en 1985, y durante más de 30 años dedicó su vida a compartir el mensaje del amor, la fe y la esperanza de Dios. A través de su ministerio en la Iglesia Alfa y Omega, sirvió fielmente como pastor y líder espiritual, entregando su corazón a la enseñanza de la Palabra de Dios y guiando a otros en su caminar con Cristo. Su llamado fue evidente, y su vida lo reflejó mediante la oración, el servicio y un profundo amor por las personas. Vivió su fe diariamente, no solo desde el púlpito, sino con humildad, bondad y una confianza inquebrantable en Dios.

Samuel fue un esposo, padre, abuelo y bisabuelo profundamente amoroso. Samuel y Marcela se conocieron en Odessa, Texas, en 1974, y unieron sus vidas en matrimonio en 1975, iniciando así una historia de amor y servicio que perduró por más de cinco décadas. Le sobrevive su amada esposa de 51 años, Marcela Ramírez, cuyo amor y compañerismo fueron el fundamento de su vida y ministerio.

También le sobreviven sus hijos: Maribel Ramírez y su esposo Bernie de Alpine, Albert Ramírez y su esposa Sarah de Odessa, y Sammy Ramírez de Odessa.

Fue un abuelo orgulloso y lleno de gozo para Nayeli, Aiden, Adalynn, Tristan, Sammy, Maddy, Tally, Jasleen, Michael y Zachary, y un amoroso bisabuelo para Alejandro, y Sammy quien fue una gran bendición en su vida. Además de su familia, el Pastor Samuel deja también a su fiel congregación, a quienes amó profundamente y pastoreó con fidelidad a lo largo de su ministerio.

Quienes tuvieron el privilegio de conocer al Pastor Samuel lo recordarán por su espíritu apacible, su fe firme y la manera en que hacía sentir amadas, valoradas y alentadas a las personas. Aunque su partida deja un profundo vacío, su familia y su familia en la fe encuentran consuelo en la promesa de la vida eterna y en la Palabra fiel de Dios:

“Y su señor le dijo: Bien, buen siervo y fiel; sobre poco has sido fiel, sobre mucho te pondré; entra en el gozo de tu señor.”

Información del Servicio

El servicio de celebración de vida en honor al Pastor Samuel A. Ramírez se llevará a cabo el 9 de febrero de 2026 a las 12:00 PM en Sunset Memorial Gardens and Funeral Home, en Odessa, Texas. Familiares, amigos y todos aquellos cuyas vidas fueron impactadas por el Pastor Samuel están cordialmente invitados a acompañar a la familia y honrar su legado de fe.
