| 254 | FM 3090 takes second life in 2 weeks Exactly 2 weeks after a Tomball woman was killed in a motorcycle accident on FM 3090, 33-year-old Robert Lynn Nienstedt of Burton succumbed to injuries sustained in a 1-car rollover off the same windy roadway on Sunday morning. Department of Public Safety Trooper Ross Bates of Brenham reported that the driver, Karen Jeanice Crenshaw of Anderson, 32, was traveling northwest on FM 3090 when her 1998 Chevy SUV left the roadway, struck a tree and rolled. Precinct 2 Justice of the Peace Joe Imhoff pronounced Nienstedt, a passenger, dead at the scene at 9:40 a.m. Nienstedt's body was transported to Nobles Funeral Home of Navasota. Nienstedt was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the incident, which occurred at 8:52 a.m., 9.1 miles north of Navasota. Crenshaw, who was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the incident, was transported to College Station Medical Center in stable condition with head trauma. Two weeks prior, on June 3, Stephanie Hunt Burton, 51, left the roadway on a Harley-Davidson and struck a fence on FM 3090, about a quarter of a mile west of FM 149 near Anderson. Trooper Kenneth Balzekas of Anderson previously reported that Burton wore a helmet, but landed on her head after she was ejected from the bike.

| 256 | Guy Farley, constable who followed family heritage into law enforcement, dies at 41 Guy Mundy Farley was living his childhood dream as a Dallas County deputy constable. For the past 15 years he followed in the footsteps of his grandfather, Jack Farley, who was a Mesquite-based constable in the 1960s. Mr. Farley, 41, was killed Saturday near Crandall in a wrong-way crash with a motorist suspected of driving while intoxicated. The off-duty deputy was returning to his Kaufman home with a fast-food dinner for his family after he had watched his 4-year-old daughter's first dance recital. Toxicology tests are pending on the wrong-way driver's blood. The accident remains under investigation. Services for Mr. Farley will be at 10 a.m. Wednesday at Laurel Oaks Funeral Home in Mesquite. He will be buried in Laurel Oaks Memorial Park. "He was an outstanding individual and a great officer," said Precinct 4 Constable Roy Williams Jr. "He really understood the civil side of law enforcement." Mr. Williams, who was a deputy sheriff for 20 years before being elected constable in 2011, had observed Mr. Farley through much of his career. "He was always a consummate professional," Mr. Williams said. "When I became his elected constable, he was one of the people who made my transition easy. I appreciate him for that." Mr. Williams was a family man with a phenomenal work ethic, said his Precinct 4 supervisor, Sgt. Jason Johnson. "His family was the most important thing in his life," Mr. Johnson said. Mr. Farley was funny, said his wife, Amber Farley of Kaufman. A Star Wars fan, the deputy jokingly told his wife he married her because she was born the day the first movie was released. He celebrated his birthday with a Star Wars-themed party four days before he was killed. Mr. Farley was born in Dallas and graduated from Mesquite High School in 1989. He worked in the parts department at Steakley Chevrolet in Dallas before becoming a reserve deputy constable in 1997. He was soon hired to a full-time position and was named to the Dallas County Constable's Special Response Service in 2001. In addition to his wife, Mr. Farley is survived by two daughters, MaKayla Farley of Auburn, Ala., and Kymber Farley of Kaufman; a brother, Danny Robinson of Mesquite; a sister, Lecia Robinson of Mesquite; and his parents, Jerry and Annette Farley of Mesquite.

| 257 | LeBleu's History Deep in the southwest corner of Louisiana lies a region famed in American history as the "Neutral Strip." This forty-mile-wide stretch of wilderness and marsh land, principally in present-day Calcasieu and Cameron parishes, became a geographic entity in 1806 when the boundary between Spanish Texas and the United States was in dispute. In that year, the "Neutral Ground Agreement" established the "Neutral Strip" which was left unoccupied by troops and law enforcement officials of either nation. This agreement remained in effect until 1821. Although a few legitimate land hunters settled there, the Strip soon became notorious for harboring the lawless elements and social outcasts of two nations. Bounded on the west by the Sabine River and on the east by the Calcasieu, the region is noted for its many deep, cypress-lined and moss-draped bayous, its marshy lowlands, and live oak-studded cheniers in the coastal or southern sector, and for its pine forests and hardwood bottomlands in the northern sector. By 1820, only a sprinkling of white settlers and slaves were living there along with small bands of the fast-vanishing Attakapas tribe, led by Chief Calcasieu (Quelqueshue meaning Crying Eagle). Bartheleme Blaise LeBleu was the first white settler to build a permanent residence in the Calcasieu region. The LeBleus are considered the premier pioneer family of Southwest Louisiana. LeBleu and his family found a way to prosper from the resources they found in the area. His parents, Louis LeBleu and Marie Gentils were immigrants from Bordeaux, France. Bartheleme was born in 1722 at Arkansas Post along the upper Mississippi River. During his years on the Mississippi, he learned the river and coastal areas and became a pilot. He lived in New Orleans for a time, but headed west after his marriage to Marie Josette de la Mirande in 1769. He started westward in a two-wheeled bullock cart and crossed the Calcasieu River several months later. Arriving at the shore of Lake Charles and finding it impossible to ford, he turned back, settling about six miles east of the lake along what is now called English Bayou. Bartheleme and Marie settled and had six children. The two eldest, Arsene and Catherine, became deeply embedded in the lore surrounding the early history of Lake Charles. Arsene LeBleu was the first white man born in the Calcasieu area on October 30, 1789. In his younger years, LeBleu was a buccaneer, sailing against the Spanish as one of Jean Laffite's captains. By 1815 LeBleu had built his home at a point where the Calcasieu River intersected the Opelousas Trail and Old Spanish Trail in the area now known as LeBleu Settlement. He was among the largest land holders in southwest Louisiana. His home was a spacious cypress house, covered with plaster and attractive painted murals on the smooth walls. LeBleu's stock, numbering in the thousands, grazed the Calcasieu prairie southward below his home located on the upper reaches of English Bayou. He drove his herds from Texas to New Orleans and his home became a well-known way station, or "stand," for the Texas cattle drivers along the Opelousas Trail. Cattle "stands" were operated in Louisiana, giving the drovers access to cattle pens, lodging at night, and warm food. This way of life afforded him the opportunity to meet many people. Some of his friends included James and Resin Bowie. They were such good friends that Resin was named "Parain" or godfather of his son Arsene Jr. While James (Jim) is more famous for killing a man with the bowie knife, most people don't realize it was his brother Resin that designed the famous blade. Catherine LeBleu married Charles Sallier in 1805. Sallier was a political exile until Barthelemy LeBleu and Jean Lafitte brought him to settle in Louisiana in 1781. Sallier remained in Opelousas, Louisiana until 1797 and then travelled westward until he reached the Arsene LeBleu home, east of the lake that now bears his name. Sallier fell in love with Catherine and settled with her in a cabin on the southeast shore of the lake, which was later called Charles' Lake. The village that grew around this lake was called Charlestown, and finally it became Lake Charles. During the years of 1815 to 1821, when Jean Laffite was headquartered in Galveston, he spent many hours slipping up through the Calcasieu River and Contraband Bayou into Lake Charles. Here he visited his friends, Charles and Catherine Sallier often, docking directly in front of the shell mounds before the house. Their children were loved by Laffite. One day, Jean Laffite told their little girl, Sydalise, "See this bag of gold? If you can pick it up, you can have it.," Needless to say, the weight of the bag was too much for the child, but she remembered it and told the tale often to her own grandchildren. Sydalise would listen from their lakefront home to songs sung by the pirates on their ship. "They accompanied themselves on little accordions," she told her grandchildren, "and I got in trouble when I sang the songs and my mother heard the words!" The early inhabitants of the Neutral Strip held Jean Lafitte in high esteem and he reciprocated by showering them with luxuries rarely seen on the frontier. Laffite was considered a war hero rather than an outlaw due to his help in defending New Orleans during the Battle of New Orleans. In his journal, Lafitte made many references to the Neutral Strip and its residents. The Lebleu family furnished his crews with beef and vegetables when their ships were in the Calcasieu River. It was their descendants who have perpetuated the legendry of Jean Lafitte in Calcasieu Parish. Laffite made his Louisiana headquarters with his good friend LeBleu, spending many days at his home with the family. Arsene, whom Laffite called "My Captain," always welcomed Laffite and his men into the LeBleu home on English Bayou. LeBleu built a "double-pen" log house, for storage of Laffite's silks, spices, teas, liquor, jewels, and other contraband. This building stood the wear and tear of many years, but was finally destroyed by the hurricane of August, 1918. It was rumored that Lafitte hid some of his treasure there. "Part of my merchandise was unloaded at the mouth of the Calcasieu, in the care of Mr. Arsene LeBleu," Laffite wrote. Once, when LeBleu admired a diamond stud Laffite was wearing in his silk shirt, Laffite unscrewed the gem and tossed it to LeBleu, remarking that he'd better keep it as it was much too beautiful for a rough pirate privateer. Legend says Lafitte spent a lifetime in love with a woman that couldn't be his, the sister of his best friend Arsene. Charles became jealous of Laffite and accused Catherine of being too friendly with the handsome buccaneer. One day, shortly after the birth of their sixth child, Charles returned home from a business trip to find her wearing a brooch given to her by Lafitte. Raging at Catherine, he drew a pistol and shot her. When she fell to the floor, Charles assumed she was dead and hastily exited the home. Story is told that news of the shooting was sent to Arsene and Lafitte and they made chase. Sallier was never heard from again. Catherine survived and found that the bullet had hit her hand and then the brooch that she was wearing. The brooch kept the bullet from penetrating her body and saved her life. Catherine lived on at Shell Beach until she died at the age of 75. She never remarried, and most people believe that she was innocent of Charles' accusation. Handed down from generation to generation, the family still has this amethyst brooch and there are creases where it was struck by the bullet. Arsene was instrumental in organizing and establishing government in Calcasieu. In 1840, the state legislature created "Imperial" Calcasieu Parish out of some 5,000 square miles of wilderness. Formerly part of St. Landry parish, its population barely exceeded 2,000. Arsene organized the first police jury elected in Imperial Calcasieu Parish and held the first meeting in his home on August 24, 1840. Shortly after the census of 1850, Arsene LeBleu left his home in Louisiana to join the Gold Rush. He made his way to California and was never heard from again until they learned of his death. He died in Sacramento on October 17, 1850 leaving a lasting legacy in Louisiana. | LeBleu, Jean Baptiste (I6334)

| 258 | Mafrige Rock Now Part of Bowers Tradition No Bearkat benefactor personified Sam Houston State University's motto, "The measure of a life is its service," better than the late Ron Mafrige. Saturday, in a pregame ceremony at the regular season home finale versus Nicholls State, a special new addition to Elliott T. Bowers Stadium will be introduced in the southwest corner of the stadium in memory of the longtime Bearkat benefactor. The Mafrige Rock, a 58-inch tall block of Texas granite on a pedestal three feet by three feet, will now sit at the bottom of the ramp the Sam Houston football team descends each game at Bowers. As the players exit the ramp, they will touch the rock then head onto the playing field to continue Sam Houston's tradition of football excellence. Mafrige, who passed away in August, 2011, was a generous supporter of Bearkat athletics. Nicknamed "The Rock" by his friends and fraternity brothers in college, the 1960 Sam Houston graduate contributed more than $2 million to the university. "Ron was a leader in many ways for alums," SHSU President Dana Gibson said. "Whether it was related to athletics or developing and advancing the university, he was an alumni leader for years." Inspiration for the monument came from Mafrige's lifelong friends and Delt fraternity brothers John Bright and Ron Koska. "John and Ron wanted to find a way to recognize Ron Mafrige's contributions to this campus," SHSU athletic director Bobby Williams said. "Our department is honored that the Mafrige family, John and Ron have allowed us to implement this new tradition to celebrate a great person. The addition of the monument was announced at our "Night of Champions" celebration last April." Mafrige led and participated in numerous Sam Houston organizations and initiatives. The Houston real estate entrepreneur served as National Campaign Chair for Sam Houston's first capital campaign. "Ron Mafrige, my friend for more than 50 years, was a great teacher," Bright said."He taught and believed three things. First, give back to your church, community and to Sam Houston. Second, support and honor our men in uniform. Third, when you leave Sam Houston, you should leave with your diploma in hand." Mafrige was a Life Endowed Member of the Alumni Association and was a longtime member of the alumni board. He also was a board member and director of the Kat Pack and served as a member of the College of Business Administration's Alumni Advisory Council. "Ron truly loved this great university and all the people involved in its mission to nurture students and develop leaders," Koska said."He was so involved with helping the athletic department, but he also contributed generously to the College of Business and the arts. Ron (the Rock) Mafrige will always be remembered by all as a loyal and true Bearkat. He loved to watch his team and cheer them on as he is doing right now, looking down on all of us saying Eat 'em up, Kats!" Mafrige was a recipient of the 1997 Distinguished Alumnus and 2004 Outstanding Service Awards. "The family and I are honored to be part of a new tradition as Sam Houston State University," Chrissy Mafrige, Ron's wife, said. "If anyone could help our boys pull off a win it would be Ron through his sheer tenacity, enthusiasm, passion and love for all things Sam Houston." In 2005, Mafrige gave $250,000 to make possible construction of an 11,000-squae foot strength and conditioning facility named after longtime Bearkat football head coach Ron Randleman. "Ron Mafrige was a great friend of Sam Houston and Bearkat football," Randleman said. "His life epitomized service." The Ron Mafrige Field House located in the south end zone of Bower Stadium houses the university's athletic administration offices. The Mafrige Basketball Challenge has generated more than $250,000 in gifts and commitments for the SHSU's basketball endowment with the goal of reaching $1 million. "My father was extremely loyal to Sam Houston," Rocky Mafrige, Ron's son, said. "He fell in love with the university and people. It was a big part of his life." In 2008, Mafrige donated $40,000 to build the 20-foot-tall statute of General Sam Houston created by alumnus David Addicks, which stands near the Lowman Student Center and Smith-Hutson Building.He also purchased many of the granite benches seen across campus in honor of a number of people. Outside of university endeavors, Mafrige and his family established scholarship programs at his high school alma mater, San Marcos Baptist Academy, and at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, where seven of his $10,000-scholarship recipients have opted to attend SHSU. He was a member of the Houston 100 Club, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, the Republican National Committee and the Houston Realtors-Political Action Committee. "I love this university," Mafrige said in a 2006 interview. "The measure of an individual is what is left behind for your fellow man. I can't think of a better way to do that than to help young people get an education."

| 262 | Memorial for slain Deputy Scott Pine unveiled on anniversary of his death In the year since Orange County Deputy Jonathan Scott Pine was killed on duty, his youngest son, Maddox, has learned how to walk and talk. Pine's family has marked birthdays and holidays without him, his wife, Bridget Pine, said during a memorial service honoring her husband Wednesday. "He kept our family bonded tightly together. Now our family has fallen hopelessly apart," Bridget Pine said, her voice breaking. "This past year has been a never-ending nightmare. Every day without him brings new challenges, new firsts, without Scott." On the one-year anniversary of Pine's death Wednesday, about 200 people attended a candlelight vigil in the Westminster Landing subdivision in southwest Orange County, down the street from where he was killed. His parents and children unveiled a memorial, a plaque embedded into a large concrete star on the ground surrounded by yellow and purple pansies in a park that has been renamed in honor of Pine. Scott Pine's memorial Orange County Sheriff's Jerry Demings at deputy Jonathan Scott Pine's vigil. (Chandler Doyle, Orlando Sentinel) Pine left behind three children: Haley, 7; Ryker, 5; and Maddox, 2, who attended the vigil in matching navy blue T-shirts that read "I wear this for my daddy" on the front, with a photo of their father on the back. Bridget Pine's T-shirt said "I wear this for my husband." "A year ago today, I had to tell my children that their father is never coming home again," Bridget Pine said. "My life will continue to be lived in lost memories, with three children that want their daddy back." Pine was Florida's first law-enforcement officer to die on duty in 2014. A year ago today, I had to tell my children that their father is never coming home again - Bridget Pine, Widow of Deputy Scott Pine He was called to the Westminster Landing subdivision to investigate a report of car burglaries nearby. He spotted the burglary suspect, 28-year-old Benjamin Holtermann, and started chasing him. Holtermann ambushed Pine, shooting him three times with a stolen handgun. Holtermann then shot and killed himself. His girlfriend, Erica Pugh, was arrested for her role as an accomplice to Pine's death and sentenced to 15 years in prison last month. "Scott died the same way he lived. A servant, one loved by a great many," said Pine's pastor, David Uth of First Baptist Church of Orlando. Pine's friend and colleague, Deputy Scott Hepburn, had Pine's name engraved in his badge. Hepburn said he wears a Louisiana State University pin on his uniform to honor his friend, a Louisiana native and LSU football fan. "We still look at this uniform every day, when we put it on, and it still reminds us of Scott," Hepburn said. On Wednesday, a large group of neighbors from the Westminster Landing subdivision joined Pine's family and colleagues at the vigil. Since Pine's death, residents have become warmer toward one another, said Dee McGowan, who has lived in the area for three years. "The neighbors have come out more in friendship to each other," she said. "It's much tighter, much closer." (Published in the Orlando Sentinel on February 11, 2015) | Pine, Jonathan Scott (I1663)

| 263 | Murder of Mark Steven Bass - October 16, 1984 Venson Dean Vampran and Susan Bass were charged by a single grand jury indictment with the second degree murder of Mark Steven Bass in violation of La.R.S. 14:30.1. The trial court, on motion of both defendants, ordered severance of the indictment. Defendant, after pleading not guilty, was tried before a jury and found guilty as charged. The trial court sentenced defendant to a term of life imprisonment without benefit of probation, parole or suspension of sentence. Defendant brings this appeal urging twenty-six assignments of error. Assignments of error numbers six, ten, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, eighteen, twenty, twentyfour and twenty-five were not briefed and, therefore, are considered abandoned. Uniform Rules, Court of Appeal, Rule 2-12.4; State v. Trevathan, 432 So.2d 355 (La.App. 1st Cir.1983), writ denied, 437 So.2d 1141 (La.1983). FACTS: Shortly after midnight on October 17, 1984, a pickup truck driven by Venson Dean Vampran was stopped in Madisonville, Louisiana, by Corporal John Dillon of the St.Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office. Corporal Dillon testified that he pursued defendant's vehicle because of broken taillights and the erratic and evasive manner in which the vehicle was operated. After initially approaching Corporal Dillon, defendant returned to the truck's cab to retrieve his driver's license. At the same time, Susan Bass, a passenger in defendant's vehicle, exited the cab and approached the rear of defendant's truck. Corporal Dillon asked defendant and Susan Bass to step aside so he could check the truck license plate. At that time, he noticed fresh blood seeping from beneath the tailgate. In response to Corporal Dillon's inquiry seeking identification of the cargo being carried, defendant remarked, "Oh, shit," which was followed by Susan Bass' assertion, "It's a body. He's killed my husband." Upon inspection, Corporal Dillon discovered a dead body, later identified as that of Mark Steven Bass, in the bed of defendant's pickup truck. Thereafter, defendant was placed under arrest and advised of his Miranda rights. After preliminary investigation at the scene, defendant and Susan Bass were both transported to the sheriff's office. Each was interrogated and gave a statement describing the events preceding Mark Bass' death. Defendant stated he returned from work during the afternoon of October 16, 1984, to find that his wife and children had moved from their family home. That evening, he drove to Waveland, Mississippi, hoping to locate his wife, who had relatives residing in that city. Defendant bought a pint of Jack Daniels whiskey in Covington, Louisiana, which he consumed during the trip to Mississippi. Defendant stopped and bought another bottle of Jack Daniels whiskey later that evening. While returning from Mississippi, defendant offered a ride to a female hitchhiker who was standing near a St. Tammany Parish interstate exit That hitchhiker, later identified as Susan Bass, offered defendant sexual favors in exchange for a detour of his intended course of travel. The purported object for the detour was to retrieve a package. Susan Bass directed defendant through a circuitous route which ended on a dead-end road in Oak Knoll Subdivision off the Talisheek-Abita Road in St. Tammany Parish. When defendant stopped his truck, he immediately observed a human figure laying on the side of the road. Further investigation revealed that the figure was the bleeding body of a man, later identified as Mark Steven Bass, Susan Bass' husband. Susan Bass told defendant she would inform the police he had killed her husband if defendant did not assist in disposing of the body. While attempting to leave the scene, defendant's truck became stuck in a drainage ditch. Defendant gave Susan Bass a tire tool to use as a digging implement in an attempt to free his truck. Defendant ultimately used a tractor which had been located in the yard of neighboring property. With the assistance of Susan Bass, defendant towed his truck from the ditch and loaded Mark Bass' body onto the bed of the truck. Defendant and Susan Bass were en route to dump Mark Bass' body in the river when they were stopped by Corporal Dillon. Lieutenant David Bulloch testified that defendant was able to direct him and Detective McCormick to the site where the victim's body was loaded into defendant's truck. Corporal Wyatt McCullough, also involved in the crime scene investigation, discovered a tire tool in a ditch at that site. About forty feet from the tire tool, he found scattered coins and a brown wallet which contained items belonging to Mark Bass. An autopsy conducted by Dr. Charles Crumpler, a pathologist, revealed that Mark Bass had died as a result of multiple wounds to the front and back portions of his torso and the back of his head. Hemorrhaging in his soft tissues indicated that the victim was still alive when all the wounds were inflicted. Time of death was fixed at between 6:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. on the night of October 16,1984. Additionally, Dr. Crumpler testified that the wounds on the victim's body were consistent with having been inflicted by the recovered tire tool. Because of the similarity in the size of the wounds, Dr. Crumpler opined that all the wounds had been caused by one instrument. Defendant's employer, Preston Crawford, testified that due to inclement weather defendant did not work on Monday, October 15, 1984. James Tamplin, an employee at the Wine Cellar liquor store in Waveland, Mississippi, testified that the defendant, Susan Bass and Mark Bass arrived together at the store during the late afternoon of October 15, 1984. (Defendant, in his statement, denied ever seeing Mark Bass alive or being acquainted with Susan or Mark Bass prior to the night of October 16, 1984.)

Schultz and Alvina Poehl Schultz, Curtis grew up in Lyons and Somerville as his mother and father worked their family farm. He was the youngest in a family with much older siblings, including his two brothers and two sisters: Herman W. Schultz Jr. (and wife Dene, both now deceased), Edwin Schultz (and wife Delphine), Esther Schultz Kizer (and husband Emil, both now deceased), and Mavis Schultz Outlaw (and husband Lloyd, now deceased). A solitary boy, Curtis spent his youth mostly outside, fishing or hunting squirrels and rabbits in addition to communing with God through nature. But he wasn't always an angel, and he liked a challenge, such as during his time at Somerville High School, when he once climbed the rock wall on the side of the football stadium-on a dare-in order to relieve himself. After graduation, Curtis went to work for the railroad, then later found employment as a Medical Equipment Technician until his retirement in 2006 from American Home Patient. He met his wife, Rada Laverne Nutt Schultz, through his work for National Medical Rentals. She answered his company calls in Arkansas, and soon, their conversations about business led to personal discussions that grew longer and longer. In 1996, Rada finally came to Texas to meet Curtis in person; they married on May 30, 1998 at Heritage Park. Through their eighteen years of marriage, Curtis and Rada never fought once, and their children include Mysti Schultz (now deceased) and Cindy Durning. The Schultzs later accepted Cindy's daughter, Tristyn, in order to raise her as their own child, and Curtis loved spending time with her and his other children. They found their father patient and engaging, at times goofy and always approachable despite his reserved nature. He was caring and kind, even as he posed his favorite rhetorical question, "How dumb can you be?" He loved piddling around his yard in his favorite camo clothes as he listened to classic country music-songs by singers like George Jones, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard-and watched Astros baseball, happy to be at home, especially if someone had just made a warm batch of oatmeal raisin cookies to share with him. But he also enjoyed the chance to get away now and then, such as with his trip to Exotic Zoo Resort in Johnson City, TX, or to his favorite Mexican restaurants. He was a simple man with simple tastes and a quiet strength of character that let others simply love him. Mourning the loss of Curtis are his surviving family members including his wife Rada, his daughters Cindy and Tristyn, as well as his beloved grandson, Matthew; brother, Edwin; and sister, Mavis. Curtis was preceded in death by his parents, his brother (Herman), his sister (Esther) and one daughter (Mysti). Just as Curtis believed in heaven and Jesus, so are his family members assured of his salvation and eternal rest in The Lord.

| 272 | Obituary: "The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him." --G.K. Chesterton Matthew James Douglas During the First World War, an English poet and soldier named Wilfred Own - who watched his very young comrades die following exposure to chemical weapons - questioned the long-held belief that "it is sweet and fitting to die for one's country." However, he failed to recognize the equally tragic loss that occurs when those of us who do live long enough to become veterans then suffer every day for it, agonizing in private and personal silences that stretch for a lifetime after the service we render to our country. My name is Matthew Douglas, and although I loved my roles as a husband, father, friend and family man, I died Tuesday, August 16, 2016, after losing the longest battle of my life, with PTSD acquired during my service - two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan - as an infantryman for the 101st Airborne Division. At the time of my death, I was 33 years old. I was born on June 23, 1983, in Grand Island, Nebraska, where I would spend most of my childhood and adolescence. My parents were Scott Douglas and Lorraine "Lori" Kreider, and while I did spend two years with them in Colorado when I was very young, I moved back to Nebraska to live with my mom and brother and sister when I was four years old (after my parents divorced); we used to call ourselves "the four pack" since we were tightly knit and thought of ourselves only as a single unit. My brother and sister are: Jason Lee Douglas and Cassandra Kay Douglas-Papp. As a young man, I participated in Big Brothers, Big Sisters and was mentored by my good friend, Ron Woijeski, who mentored me by taking me fishing, birdwatching and on excursions to his family farm. These trips helped me to develop a love of nature. Around this time, I also realized my love for horses as I spent time with my Grandpa Jack and Grandma Betty Coatney at Altoona Racetrack where Grandpa worked as a Thoroughbred trainer. There, he taught me about patience, communication and building trust with other people and animals. These lessons were especially invaluable to me after age fifteen, when I decided to adopt a retired racing Greyhound named Makeup Eyes; we were together for seven years, and since she came into my life, I have always owned a dog, including my most recent canine companion, Tank, who helped me deal with my anxiety and complications related to PTSD. When I was 17, my mom's job took our family to Burley, Idaho, where I enjoyed outdoor living and improved upon my skills as an avid hunter and fisherman. Additionally, I worked hard to develop my talent for drawing and especially loved pencil sketches; I also tinkered on cars with my brother, Jason (when we weren't busy getting on each other's nerves, as brothers and best friends often do). I graduated from Burley Senior High School with a single goal in mind: I wanted to join the Army. While my mom was nervous during our discussions surrounding my becoming a soldier, she was also supportive, but she was more than a little mad when I returned home after a weekend of fun in Boise to tell her that I had already joined up. Still, she hugged me tightly as I left for Boot Camp, then moved on to my post in Georgia where I received training as a sniper. She continued praying for me, our family and our country through the events of 9-11 and my subsequent deployment to Monsol, Iraq, where I spent a year before returning home to Texas. Later, I returned to Iraq for another tour, this time to Ramadi. There, our movements were greatly restricted, so I was on base a lot; care packages from home kept me focused during this time. Even so, after two tours, I had received wounds to my knees, back and hip - as well as the unseen scars every soldier carries with him after combat - so I took an early discharge to return home in 2007 and received a Purple Heart. By then, my life had changed dramatically after I had married my first love, Nicole, and she gave birth to our daughter, Emma, who has had my heart with her for 8 years now. With Emma, I shared my love of country music, as well as my devotion to the Pittsburg Steelers. Eventually, Nicole and I parted ways, and I met the love of my life, Brittany Hunter, as we both worked together for Cognizant Technologies, with my position being that of Building Manager and head of Security Staff. (Incidentally, I loved my job and away from work, I continued to hunt and fish, as well as to study karate at Montoya's Shorin Kempo Karate Jitsu in Bryan. I was blessed to meet many friends, wherever I went.) Together, Brittany and I have five beautiful and vibrant children, including: my stepson Shawn Lapaglia, my daughter Emma, our son Jack Douglas, our daughter Riley Douglas and our newest addition, Gunner Douglas. It was with Brittany that I truly learned the meaning of love, loyalty, devotion and sacrifice as I worked to provide for the family with which God had blessed me. In being a dad, my favorite moments came both on big occasions, such as the days my children were born, and on smaller ones, like the time we went to Legoland in Grapevine together. Over time, I have learned that any day spent with the people you love is a good day, and keeping a sense of humor is the secret to a happy life. I know that sometimes, tough guys don't say much about such tender things as faith and family, but for me, life was built on both. Since I wasn't able to spend much time with my dad while growing up, I was determined to be the father I had always wanted. With PTSD, I struggled with the demands of daily life as a family man, even though I loved Brittany and our kids with every beat of my heart, with every breath I took. Despite the demons I fought - and maybe because of them - I know that God lives, that I am also one of His sons and that He knows my heart. I've carried a Bible into combat with me, and during dark days, I've often taken comfort in it; I trust that the messages shared in it are true and that God's promises - especially to those that love Him - are sure. I have found peace and comfort in my Savior Jesus Christ, who rose to live again, and through Him, I know that I will too. He is the Friend in whom I have trusted most, and I have tried to love others as He loves me. Missing me now are my wife Brittany, our daughters, Emma and Riley, and our sons Shawn, Jack and Gunner; my mom, Lori Krieder, my brother, Jason and my sisters, Cassie and Stasha. I am also survived by my grandmother, Betty Coatney, my grandparents, Louise and Bob Young, Aunt Cheryl Werre, Uncle Dennis Werre, cousins Dennise and Michael Werre, Aunt Susan Hansen, Uncle Jeff Hansen, cousins Jordan and Brody Hansen, Uncle Samuel Coatney, Candice Coatney, and my cousins, Calina and Tristan. My father, Scott, and my Grandpa Jack - for whom my son is named - were here to meet me; we look forward to getting to know each other, once again. Come join my family in celebrating my life (Steelers and Camo Gear Preferred!) on Saturday, August 27, 2016, at Hillier Funeral Home in College Station beginning at 2pm. The celebration will continue with a reception - including my favorite: steak & potatoes...and instead of sending flowers, spend that money on helping others. I recommend Brazos Valley Cares at brazosvalleycares.org. To send flowers or a memorial gift to the family of Matthew James Douglas please visit our Sympathy Store.

| 283 | Obituary: A memorial service for Dr. James F. Wygant is planned for 11 a.m. Friday, July 7, at Meadowwood Memorial Park, 700 Timberlane Road, Tallahassee, Fla. A reception will be held from noon to 3 p.m. at Dorothy B. Oven Park, 3205 Thomasville Road, Tallahassee. Born Aug. 4, 1919, in Hornell, N.Y., to Harold and Esther Wygant, he passed away Saturday, June 17, 2006, in Houston. He has gone to rejoin his beloved wife Carol in a better place. Jim graduated cum laude from Alfred University with a bachelor of science degree in ceramic engineering in 1941, and went to work for the Missouri Portland Cement Company in St. Louis. In 1943, he volunteered for the World War II draft. While in the Army and training at the University of Alabama, Jim met Carol Walker, a young civil engineering student. After a whirlwind wartime courtship, they married on July 3, 1944, beginning a lifelong partnership that lasted 54 years, until her death in 1998. Jim was honorably discharged in 1946 after serving overseas in North Africa. Returning to Alfred University after the war, Jim earned a master of science degree and then went on to MIT to take a doctorate in ceramic engineering in 1950. Jim worked for 30 years in research for Standard Oil of Indiana (later Amoco, now BP) in Chicago, Whiting, Ind. and Naperville, Ill. Dr. Wygant rose to director of corporate research and manager of corporate services at the Amoco Research Lab in Naperville, until he retired in 1979 to Tallahassee. Those who knew him as Dr. Wygant, as Jim or as Dad uniformly aspired to rise to his standard. And yet, he had the grace to make the humblest person feel as his peer. We are better for having known him. Jim is survived by his brother, Foster Wygant of Cincinnati; his children, Margaret Marcum of Austin, Texas, Roger Wygant of Sandersville, Ga., Daniel Wygant of Fayetteville, Tenn., Susan Young of Houston, Charles Wygant of Tallahassee, James Wygant of Houston and Laurance Wygant of DuPont, Wash.; 15 grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren.
