Jimmy Don Wagster, 79, of Amarillo, Texas, went to be with the Lord on June 15, 2026. He spent his final days being cared for at Ussery-Roan Texas State Veteran Home. He was born in Rector, Arkansas, on March 23, 1947, to Donald Warren Wagster and Ola Jewel “Dollie” Wagster. He attended Arkansas State University and joined the United States Marine Corps after receiving his draft notice for the Army. Jim attended a language School in Monterey, California, for six months to learn Vietnamese, going on to serve in Vietnam, where he was a ground interpreter for his battalion from 1967-1968.

Jim had several careers over the years, from salesman to route delivery driver to warehouse manager; however, his true passion was refinishing antique furniture, lovingly spending hours in his woodshop, patiently going through all of the steps to take something from nearly trash to heirloom status.

He was infinitely patient, gentle, kind, and loving, giving advice only if asked. He was beloved by all who knew him.

Jim is survived by his daughters Carrie Huckabay of Amarillo and husband Nolan and Emily Faulkner of Wolfforth and husband C.W.; sister Rhonda Cleaves of Frisco; grandchildren Ethan Huckabay and wife Kallie, Aaron Huckabay, Brenna Faulkner, Joseph Faulkner, Carly Faulkner, Sofia Faulkner, Ava Faulkner and Lea Faulkner, and a great-granddaughter, Parker Leigh Huckabay.

The memorial service will be at 10:00 a.m., Friday, June 19, 2026, at First Baptist Church, 1208 S. Tyler. Arrangements are by Boxwell Brothers Funeral Directors.

Charles Clifton Rogers, 84, of Amarillo, Texas, passed away on June 9, 2026, in Euless, Texas, following a courageous battle with cancer.

A Celebration of Life service will be held at 2:00 PM on Saturday, July 11, 2026, at Boxwell Brothers Ivy Chapel, 2800 Paramount. Arrangements are under the direction of Boxwell Brothers Funeral Directors.

Charles was born on December 30, 1941, in Taloga, Oklahoma, to Robert and Lola Belle (Payne) Rogers. He graduated from Borger High School in 1960. A proud veteran, Charles served in the National Guard from 1961 to 1977 before transitioning to the U.S. Army Reserves, from which he retired on December 30, 2001. After working various jobs as a young man, Charles found his lifelong career with the U.S. Postal Service, ultimately retiring as a supervisor in December 2001. Deeply committed to his colleagues, he was an active member of the National Association of Postal Supervisors, serving as President, Vice President, and finally as Treasurer until health challenges led him to step down in 2023. Charles was also a longtime, faithful member of the First Baptist Church.

Beyond his professional dedication, Charles was a man of many passions. He loved fishing, bowling, listening to music, collecting small cars, and watching old Westerns. Above all, he cherished time spent with family and friends. He was a devoted and loving father to his two daughters, always willing to do absolutely anything for his family. Known as a fantastic storyteller and an inveterate jokester, Charles brought joy to every room. He proved to be an awesome Grandad, a proud great-grandfather, and a wonderful Uncle to his many nieces, nephews, and extended family. He also held a deep affection for his two beloved dogs, Bear and Bella.

Charles was preceded in death by his parents; his three siblings, Robert Rogers, Jr., Gene Rogers, and Juanita Roberts; and his beloved wife of 52 years, Linda (Haas) Rogers. Together, Charles and Linda shared a love for adventure, embarking on cruises and taking countless road trips to the mountains—memories made even sweeter when their daughters were young.

Charles's wonderful spirit is carried on by his daughters, Shari Duke and husband Joseph of Amarillo, TX, and Adrena Moreno and husband James of Euless, TX. He was an awesome Grandad to Caitlin (and partner Cheryl), John (and wife Faith), Madison, Braden (and wife Alysia), and Kayla (and husband Ethan); and a doting great-grandfather to Sophia, as well as to a second great-granddaughter whom he eagerly anticipated welcoming this October. He also leaves behind many beloved nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the many caregivers who provided exceptional support during his illness: Dr. Tumula and the staff at Texas Oncology; Home Instead (Amarillo and Richland Hills); Gentiva Hospice of Amarillo; and Hospice Plus of Arlington.

Ronald "Ronnie" Ray Peters, age 77 of Amarillo, Texas went to see his heavenly Father and family in Heaven on Thursday, June 11, 2026.

Ronnie was born in Wellington, Texas to Mary and H.L. Peters. He grew up in Amarillo, Texas spending his summers at his beloved grandparents, Pa and Ma in Wellington, Texas. Ronnie was a 1967 graduate of Caprock High School and served as a Sergeant in the United States Army from 1969 to 1971.

Ronnie loved learning new things, the simple things in life, and two-stepping. He was true, honest and direct. He was a counselor to countless people from all walks of life and a good listener. He was hard to forget. His love was genuine and forever present in all of our lives. He was quite the character. Ronnie gave us positivity, laughter, and always the hope that tomorrow would be a better day.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Hunter and Sally Peters and Delbert and Francis Morris; Parents, H.L. and Mary Peters; his sister, Vicki Peters and a brother-in-law, Carlton Werschky.

He is survived by his pride and joy, his son, Hunter Ray Peters; two sisters, Diane Werschky and Marena (Steve) Ingels; Nieces and nephews, Austin Ingels. Gentry (Jr.) Ingels, Kendra (Blue) Baggett, Dustin (Tracie) Howell, Josh (Christy) Howell, Sam (Anne) Werschky, Lisa Werschky, and Amanda (Jason) Johnson and great nieces and nephews and extended family and friends.

The family would like to extend their appreciation to the Amarillo VA medical for their compassionate and excellent care. Special thanks to his providers, Shannon and Meridith. And, also to his special neighbor and friend, Faviola.

Ronnie touched many lives. He didn't have to travel to people...people traveled to him. They never left empty handed... always left with a wise word, a bit of laughter, or one of his many collectibles that you had pointed out you liked; he would freely give to you. Ronnie never wanted to be a bother to anyone. When he was in need of something he would still figure out a way to give back. He will be dearly missed and never forgotten on this side of Heaven. Ronnie had some unique sayings when we were leaving as he told you goodbye. We are sure that is what he would have said as he left for his heavenly home. Till Valhalla, Yol Bonson, The Tin Bended and The Story Ended, Take care, and "Carrie" On in an Orderly Manner ....

Juan was born in Aldama, Chihuahua, Mexico on June 24, 1934 to Gumersindo Carrillo and Manuela Arzate.

In 1970, he made the courageous choice to bring his family with him and they settled in Alpine, TX. Juan was a rancher for most of his life. He was the sole provider for his wife and 9 children for many years. He was a man of hard work, there wasn’t a job he wasn’t able to complete. Juan was a jokester, no matter the situation he was sure to make a joke. He was the grandfather to 40 plus grandchildren to which he came up with nicknames for everyone. A language barrier was always present but the love Juan radiated never lacked.

He will be greatly missed but we rejoice in knowing that because of his recent decision to dedicate his life back to the Lord, he is now in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Juan is preceded in death by son, Jesse Carrillo of Amarillo, TX; parents, Gumersindo Garcia Carrillo and Manuela Arzate Carrillo; brother, Gumersindo “Chindo” Carrillo of Hereford, TX; sister, Victoria Rodriguez; nephew, Danny Carrillo of Hereford, TX; granddaughter Wrenley Isabelle Chesley of Amarillo, TX.
