James Frederic Marie Brouillet

James Frederic Marie Brouillet, 35, passed away on February 18, 2026, in Tokyo, Japan. James was born on June 6, 1990, in New York to Serge and Joann Brouillet.

He was raised in Saint-Hubert, Quebec, Canada, and graduated from Concordia University in Montreal in 2013 with a Bachelor of Commerce in Finance. James later moved to California, where he worked in the IT industry and completed an Extension Applications Programming certificate at UCLA. Already fluent in French, his abiding interest in Japanese culture led him to learn Japanese as a third language, eventually reaching N2 proficiency.

In 2025, he left Los Angeles to pursue his dream of mastering Japanese by enrolling at the Kudan Institute of Japanese Language and Culture in Tokyo. Beyond his studies and career, James formed lasting friendships with people around the world as an active member of the Final Fantasy XIV community. He was a highly respected and beloved player, admired for his kindness and dedication to helping others.

Those who knew James will remember his discipline, selflessness, and devotion to his faith. No matter where he was in the world, James always found a way to attend Sunday mass, even if it meant long walks through unfamiliar streets to reach a church. He never failed to thank the Lord for the blessings in his life, volunteered in his church and community, and was living his dream in Japan until his final moments.

James is survived by his parents; his sister, Perrine Brouillet, and his brother-in-law, William Roever; as well as many aunts, uncles, two grand-aunts, a grand-uncle, and cousins. A funeral service will be held at 2:00 PM on March 12, 2026, at Jesus Our Risen Savior Catholic Church in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

Regina Wilschak Galgon

Regina (Wilschak) Galgon, wife of the late William "Bill" Galgon, passed away peacefully at her home on February 24, 2026. Born in Russia on December 24, 1941, Regina was the daughter of the late Olga (Dietz) Woytus and the late Michael Wilschak, and the stepdaughter of the late Stanislaw Woytus.

As a teenager, Regina moved with her family to the United States and grew up in the Philadelphia, PA area. After graduating from the Philadelphia High School for Girls (“Girls High”), Regina worked as both a teller and then a manager in a local bank for several years.

She met Bill (the love of her life) at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Philadelphia. Regina and Bill were married there on July 25, 1964. They were active as youth leaders and members of the fellowship group, Pairs and Spares.

Regina loved making beautiful needlepoint artwork, giving them as gifts and displaying them around their homes. She also enjoyed cooking and had great recipes for chili and French toast casseroles. She loved to travel with Bill, taking road trips across the US. Regina and Bill always took their nieces and nephews for short road trips to see different places as well. Years later, when Bill was transferred by Progress Lighting Corporation for work, they relocated to the Spartanburg, SC area, where they started another chapter of their life.

After beginning their journey in SC, Regina and Bill made many new friends. They continued to enjoy socializing and taking road trips together. They became active members of the Joy Lutheran Church in Moore, SC, where they spent time meeting new people and getting involved in church functions and ministries. Regina volunteered in the church office for many years while Bill was an active board member. They often drove back to PA to celebrate holidays and special occasions with their family and old friends, and they were welcomed wherever they went.

Regina is survived by her remaining family (all located in PA): Sister-in-Law Carol (Pamplin) Woytus, Niece Alycia Heffelfinger (Steven), Niece Monica Liberty (Greg), Nephew Walter Woytus (Karen), Sister-in-Law Ida (Galgon) Ujj, Niece Karen Becker (William), Nephew Joseph Ujj (Katie), several “grand-nephews and nieces” and other friends who deeply cared for her over the years.

The family has chosen to have a private memorial service in Regina’s honor.

Jackie Trail McAbee

Jackie Trail McAbee, 89, of Roebuck, South Carolina, passed away peacefully on March 2, 2026.

Born to Jesse and Naomi Trail, Jackie was one of seven children and grew up surrounded by the love and lively spirit of a large family. She graduated from Roebuck High School in 1954 and carried with her throughout life the values of hard work, curiosity, and devotion to family that shaped her early years.

Jackie retired from Springs Industries after many years of dedicated service. She was a woman of remarkable intelligence and determination—well-read, well-traveled across the United States, and endlessly curious about the world around her. Her greatest passion was genealogy. Through tireless research and dedication, she authored books chronicling family histories and generously helped countless individuals—both locally and internationally—discover their roots. Her work connected families across generations and continents, leaving a legacy that will endure for years to come.

While her accomplishments were many, Jackie’s greatest joy was her family. She treasured time spent together, sharing stories and laughter with those she loved most. Vegetable gardening was one of her favorite pastimes and brought her much happiness throughout the years.

She was a devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother. Jackie is survived by her loving daughter, Tami McAbee Wilson; her granddaughters, Ashley Lavender and Jessica Marchant; her grandson, Christopher Brymer; seven great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Jesse and Naomi Trail; her son, John Michael McAbee; her daughter, Debra Ann McAbee; and her granddaughter, Heather Renee Puckett.

A graveside service will be held Monday, March 9, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. at Walnut Grove Methodist Church, with visitation following the service.

Jackie will be remembered as a loyal and treasured friend to many, both in her local community and around the world. Her kindness, wisdom, and willingness to help others left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Though she will be deeply missed, her family finds comfort in the rich legacy of love, knowledge, and connection she leaves behind. And as Jackie would so sweetly say, “Ta Ta for now.”

Sonny loved life – fully and enthusiastically. Whether he was playing golf, fishing, cheering at Dorman High School football games, or traveling to discover new places, he embraced every moment. He traveled the country to horse shows and wrestling tournaments, seldom missing a competition or even a practice where his boys competed. Few men loved life more deeply or lived it more completely than Sonny Justice.
