Matthew Merced
February 20, 1967 – February 10, 2026

Matthew Merced, beloved father, devoted son, and proud New Yorker, passed away on February 10, 2026, just days before his 59th birthday. He was 58 years old.

Born on February 20, 1967, in New York, Matthew carried the strength, resilience, and determination of his hometown throughout his life. He was the cherished son of Sonia Merced and Jose Merced, and the loving brother of his late sister, Doralyn Dorn, whose memory remained close to his heart.

Matthew was a man of remarkable intelligence and strong character. As a Senior Project Manager, he earned the respect of colleagues and peers through his leadership, integrity, and sharp mind. He approached his work with focus and excellence, always striving to do things the right way.

He also answered a profound call to serve as a 9/11 first responder. In one of our nation’s darkest moments, Matthew stepped forward with courage and selflessness. His bravery during that time reflected the very core of who he was — dependable, compassionate, and unwavering in the face of adversity.

Above all, Matthew was a devoted and loving father to his sons, Gabriel and Nathan. They were his greatest pride and deepest joy. He was fun-loving, full of life, and had a way of bringing laughter and warmth into every room. His love for his boys was immeasurable, and the bond they shared will remain unbreakable.

Matthew’s legacy is one of service, intelligence, resilience, and unconditional love. He will be deeply missed by his parents, his sons, extended family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Though his time here was far too short, the impact of his life will be felt forever in the hearts of those he loved.

Jessica Marrufo
April 15, 1966 - January 30, 2026

Jessica Marrufo passed away peacefully at her home in Fayetteville, Arkansas, on January 30, 2026, surrounded by the people she loved most and her beloved fur babies. She fought a long and courageous battle after being diagnosed with liver cancer, facing every step with remarkable strength, grace, and love. Through it all, she never lost the warmth and kindness that made her who she was.

Jessica is survived by her loving spouse, Paula Robbins Marrufo; her siblings, Sandra Tobias, Edna Aleman, Lupe Dominguez, Norma Gutierrez, and Mary Ann Navarro; and her bonus children, Kayla Robbins, Megan Perez, Eddie Gilvin, Tyler Bridges, and Gage Clement. She also leaves behind many cherished nieces, nephews, and grandchildren.

Jessica was preceded in death by her parents, Gregorio and Ventura Gloria, and her siblings, Beatrice Gloria, Greg Gloria Jr., Guillermo Gloria, and Susie Hinijosa.

Jessica was truly one of a kind. She had the heart of an angel and a laugh that could light up an entire room. Her love for family and friends was unmatched—being there for others wasn’t something she tried to do; it was simply who she was. She worked hard her entire life, spending many years at Sam’s Club and Lowe’s, and took great pride in her work. Even in her final moments, lying in her hospice bed, Jessica was still taking care of business—reminding us to put away the tills and be kind to the customers. That was Jessica: selfless, caring, and always looking out for others.

Jessica was a die-hard Raiders fan who never gave up on her team—even after their move to Las Vegas. Her loyalty never wavered. She also loved the San Francisco Giants and owned more hats than anyone really needed, proudly proving her devotion one cap at a time. Win or lose, her teams always had her heart.

Jessica had a great love for the outdoors, especially fishing. While the accuracy of her fish-counting skills may be questionable, we are certain she is now in heaven, casting a line and claiming record-breaking catches.

Jessica will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. She wouldn’t want anyone to be sad about her passing—she would want us to smile, laugh, and remember the good times. She knew her journey would lead her to a better place and would want us to find comfort in that knowledge.

Jessica’s cremated remains will be laid to rest in the Bay Area of California in the spring or summer, giving family and friends the opportunity to gather, remember, and celebrate this new journey together.

Tom served in the Navy in Japan during the Korean War before settling in Southern California, where he met and married his wife, Dorothy Francis (Williams) Darswell, who preceded him in death.

Early in his adult life, Tom discovered a passion for flying small Cessna planes. He cherished the solitude and control of being in the air. Recently, while under the care of Circle of Life Hospice, he was able to fulfill a final wish to go flying "one last time," an experience that brought him immense joy in his final weeks.

A man of many talents, Tom spent the majority of his career as a sheet metal mechanic for North American Rockwell International. While there, he contributed to the ductwork for the first space shuttle, and was named employee of the month several times, in addition to employee of the year. He was also a skilled woodworker and wood carver, crafting personalized furniture and gifts for family and friends. He enjoyed fishing, working on cars, and was famously fond of fruitcake from New Camaldoli Hermitage.

Tom is survived by his children, Jeri Lynn Corgill of Paso Robles, California; Victoria Sue (Gregory) Winn of Rogers, Arkansas; by his grandchildren, Tyler Adam (Sydney) Knott of Atascadero, California; Alexander Thomas (Ashley) Paschal of Brookline, Missouri; and Megan Michelle Paschal of Branson, Missouri; and by his great-grandson, Crosby Kevin Knott.
