Larry Allen Gresham
November 13, 1948-September 4, 2026

Larry Allen Gresham, 77, passed away peacefully at his home in Tyler, Texas, on September 4, 2026.

Larry was born on November 13, 1948, in St. Louis, Missouri, to Harry Burton Gresham and Ruby Lorene Gresham.

Larry proudly served his country in the United States Army during the Vietnam War, where he served as a door gunner with the 282nd Assault Helicopter Company, known as the “Black Cats.” His military service was recognized with the National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal with four Bronze Service Stars, Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal, Air Medal, and Sharpshooter (Rifle) qualification. His service to his country remained an important part of his life and legacy.

It was during this chapter of his life that Larry met and married Sarah, with whom he shared many years and raised their two daughters, Donna and Lori. Though Larry and Sarah’s lives eventually took different paths, they continued to share mutual respect and kindness through the years.

For the past 23 years, Larry shared his life with his wife, Jan Gresham, making their home in Tyler, Texas. In the earlier years of their marriage, Larry and Jan enjoyed riding their Harley-Davidson motorcycle with family and friends, creating many wonderful memories along the way. Jan was a loving and devoted wife to Larry and a wonderful stepmother to his daughters. Her love, companionship, and devoted care for Larry, particularly in the later years of his life, meant more to his family than words can adequately express.

Larry was also a 32nd Degree Scottish Rite Mason and a member of Galena Park Masonic Lodge #1290 for more than 53 years, reflecting a lifelong connection to the brotherhood, values, and traditions of Freemasonry.

Those who knew Larry will remember his fun-loving personality, wonderful sense of humor, and especially his gift for storytelling. He genuinely enjoyed people, and time spent with Larry was always memorable. He had a way of making people laugh, and his stories were often remembered and will be retold for years to come.

Larry took tremendous pride in his grandchildren and loved watching them grow into the people they became. Their accomplishments and successes brought him great joy, and he was always proud to hear what they were doing and where life was taking them.

He loved fishing and hunting, cheering on the Houston Astros, watching classic Westerns, and enjoying music, which remained a lifelong pleasure.

Larry is survived by his wife, Jan Gresham; his daughters, Donna Coneley and husband Chris, and Lori Kauniste and husband Valle; his stepchildren, Rusty Liles and wife Robin, Kelli Schmidt and husband Derek, and Craig Liles and wife Tomi; his sisters, Tricia Stone and husband Mike, and Lynn Wood; his grandchildren, Erin Coneley, Garrett Coneley and fiancée Grace, Valle Kauniste Jr. and wife Becca, and Kaia Kauniste; as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family members, friends, and countless others whose lives were made a little more special by knowing Larry.

Larry was preceded in death by his parents, Harry Burton and Ruby Lorene Gresham; his brothers, Danney Gresham and Clinton “Butch” Gresham; and his niece, Jennifer Gresham.

Larry leaves behind a lifetime of stories, laughter, love, and treasured memories. He will be deeply missed and remembered with a smile by those who loved him and the many people fortunate enough to have known him.

Visitation will begin at 11:00 a.m., followed by the funeral service at 12:00 p.m. on Monday, September 14, 2026, at Jeter Funeral Home, 311 N. Friendswood Drive, Friendswood, Texas 77546.

Immediately following the funeral service, a graveside service will be held at Forest Park East Cemetery, 21620 Gulf Fwy, Webster, TX 77598.

Following the graveside service, family and friends are invited to gather for a Celebration of Life at Vallensons’ Brewing Company, 4081 Rice Drier Road, Pearland, Texas 77581.

Victoria Claire Burkett
October 9, 2002-September 6, 2026

Victoria Claire Burkett, lovingly known to everyone as Tori, passed away peacefully on September 6, 2026, at the age of 23. Tori lived a Christ filled life filled with love, friendship, purpose, laughter, leadership, and an extraordinary ability to make the people around her feel special.

Tori was born on October 9, 2002, and grew up in Friendswood, Texas, surrounded by a family who adored her. She was the beloved daughter of Rusty and Melissa Burkett and the cherished little sister of Zachary and Samantha. She was a granddaughter, niece, cousin, fiancé, friend, co-worker — and each of those roles meant something deeply personal to her.

From an early age, Tori embraced every opportunity to learn, lead, and serve others. She graduated from Texas A&M University in May 2025 with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Supply Chain Management from the Mays Business School. An Aggie through and through, she continued her education at Texas A&M while pursuing her Master of Science in Human Resource Management. She was passionate about people and about helping others succeed, making Human Resources a natural fit for her talents and her heart.

That passion was already shaping an impressive career. Tori worked in the Human Resources Department at EOG Resources while continuing her graduate studies. Her professional path reflected the qualities that came so naturally to her: organization, leadership, communication, compassion, and an ability to bring people together.

Those same qualities defined her years at Texas A&M. Tori served as President of the Zeta Tau Alpha Theta Gamma Chapter, leading an organization of more than 300 women. She also served in other executive leadership roles within Zeta Tau Alpha, was a four year member of Texas A&M Diamond Darlings, was active in Mays Business Fellows, Fish Camp, 1879 Society Ambassadors, Texas A&M’s Society for Human Resource Management, and other organizations. In 2025, Tori received the Buck Weirus Spirit Award, an honor recognizing Texas A&M students for exceptional leadership, involvement, and commitment to the Aggie Spirit. It was a fitting recognition for someone who gave so much of herself to the university and the people she loved. Yet even this honor captures only a part of who Tori was and her accomplishments only tell a small part of her story.

Tori was, above all else, a people person. She loved deeply, laughed often, and made friends wherever she went. She had a gift for making people feel included and valued. She was fiercely loyal, incredibly giving, and always willing to show up for the people she loved. A “once in a lifetime friend”, her friendships were treasured relationships, and as the baby of the family, she was the glue that held us together. Her family was the center of her world.

That love also shaped the future she was building. She was engaged to the love of her life, Jake Kieffer, with whom she shared beautiful dreams for the years ahead. Their love was an important and cherished part of Tori’s life, and her family is grateful for the love and happiness they shared.

At the heart of Tori’s life was a faith that gave her strength, comfort, and purpose. Her favorite verse, Isaiah 41:10, reminds us: “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous hand.” These words reflect the faith that guided Tori and offer comfort to all who mourn her.

Tori’s family includes her parents, Rusty and Melissa Burkett; brother, Zachary Burkett; sister, Samantha Burkett Roa; their spouses, Madeleine Burkett & Christian Roa; grandparents, Ronny and Laurie Burkett and Ron and Judy Miller; aunts/uncles, Marcy Burkett, Jennifer Barthels and Greg, and Ashley Heinrich and Kaleb; cousins Casey Burkett, Cole Barthels and Vitőria, Cody Barthels and Esther, Jacqueline Heinrich, George Heinrich, and Jovie Heinrich; fiancé Jake Kieffer; best friends Gayle Henderson and Kendal Girouard; and a host of other family members and friends who were blessed to know and love her. And, of course, no mention of Tori’s family would be complete without her canine siblings, Cooper, Charly, Penny and her canine nephew Olsen, her beloved dogs who brought her endless happiness and unconditional love.

The love Tori shared with all who knew her is part of her legacy. She leaves behind more love than can possibly be measured: family gatherings that will never feel quite the same, friendships that will carry her memory forward, Aggie traditions that will forever be a reminder of Tori, and countless stories that will be told again and again.

She leaves behind the example of a young woman who embraced life, invested in people, pursued her dreams, and loved her family and friends wholeheartedly. Her influence will continue in every life she touched and in every act of kindness inspired by her example.

For those fortunate enough to have known Tori, she was never simply someone you knew—she became someone you loved.

And the love she gave will remain.

A visitation will be held on Sunday, September 13, 2026 from 6:30-8:30 PM at Friendswood Friends Church, 502 S Friendswood Dr, Friendswood, TX 77546. The Service will be held on Monday, September 14, 2026 at 1:00 PM at Friendswood Friends Church. A Private burial will follow.

Waylon Raymond Donaho
September 3, 2025-August 7, 2026

Waylon Raymond Donaho, eleven months old, of Friendswood, died on August 7, 2026. He was the son of John Donaho and Stefanie Plunkett.

Waylon loved to babble and stick his tongue out. He liked being read Pig the Pug, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, and Don’t Touch the Shark. He liked shaking his maraca, splashing in the bath, and was obsessed with water bottles. He loved dancing with his parents, and making monkey noises while bouncing up and down in his mom’s arms. Waylon loved dogs of all shapes and sizes.

He is survived by his parents, John and Stefanie; his grandparents, John and Jessy Donaho, Jasmine Laye Donaho, and JJ and Lori Plunkett; and the family dogs, Libby and Eevee.

Waylon died from complications of a Meckel’s diverticulum, a congenital condition present at birth. He was loved completely for every one of his 339 days and will be missed for the rest of ours.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Three Little Pitties Dog and Cat Rescue.

A Visitation and Rosary will be held on Wednesday, August 19, 2026 from 5:30-7:30 PM at Jeter Memorial Funeral Home, 311 N. Friendswood Dr. Friendswood, TX 77546. The Funeral Mass will be held on Thursday, August 20, 2026 at 11:00 AM at Mary Queen Catholic Church, 606 Cedarwood Dr. Friendswood, TX 77546. Interment will follow at Mt. Olivet Catholic Cemetery, 7801 Gulf Fwy Dickinson, TX 77539.

Leona Jean (Jacobsen) Redding
December 20, 1949-July 29, 2026

Leona Jean Jacobsen Redding, lovingly known as Lea, was born on December 20, 1949, in Valley City, North Dakota, to Clifford Jacobsen and Delores Bosch. She was healed and entered into her heavenly home on July 29, 2026. She grew up with four brothers, Daniel, Ronald, Wayne, and Randy, and one sister, Angela. Lea graduated from high school in 1967, attended Rutherford’s Business School, and once ran for Miss Arlington.

Lea met the love of her life, Alva “Bud” Redding , at the Trailways bus station in Dallas. True to her confident and warmhearted nature, Lea was the one who called and asked him out. After dating for three months, they married on August 2, 1969, in Arlington. Through that marriage, Lea welcomed two bonus daughters, Karen and Kelly, into her heart and family. Their son, Scott, was born on April 27, 1973, and Lea often said that being Scott’s mother was the accomplishment that made her most proud.

Lea was warmly embraced by the Redding family. Granddaddy Redding loved her dearly, and Granny Redding taught her how to drive. These family bonds became part of the loving foundation on which Lea built her life.

After Scott was born, the family moved to Ventura, California, where they lived for three months. Their early years together were not always easy, and they often lived from paycheck to paycheck, but they built a life grounded in love, perseverance, and devotion to one another. Lea and Bud celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary shortly before his passing on August 13, just days after his birthday.

Lea began her professional life as a secretary with Dow Chemical. She later worked for Witco and its successor companies for 46 years before retiring. Throughout multiple company transitions and buyouts, Lea’s loyalty, dependability, and strong work ethic remained constant. She also served for many years on the Witco Credit Union board.

Faith became the foundation of Lea’s life when, at age 24, a preacher visited her home on an ordinary Thursday evening to speak with her and Scott. That night, mother and son accepted Christ together and were later baptized. Lea remained a devoted Christian and was a member of her church for more than 20 years.

Lea served her church faithfully in many roles. She kept the church’s books and served as treasurer, sang solos and participated in the choir, welcomed people as a greeter, and regularly provided rides for fellow church members. Her service was practical, joyful, and rooted in her desire to care for others.

Lea’s life was marked by resilience. She weathered several hurricanes and many of life’s storms, meeting them with faith, determination, and a smile. She treasured enduring friendships, including more than 35 years of friendship with Wanda and Linda.

Above all, Lea wanted to be remembered for her kindness. When asked what her 70-year-old self would tell her 30-year-old self, she answered, “Be kind to everyone. When you are kind to others, they will be kind back to you.” She wanted people to remember that she was kind and that she always tried to have a smile.

Lea is survived by her son, Scott; her bonus daughters, Karen and Kelly (Steven) ; her brothers, Wayne and Randy (Korneila) ; her sister, Angela Tedder (David) ; her sister-in-law Maria “Teresa” Fernandez; sister-in-law’s Bonnie Horton-Walker (Howard); MariVonne Essex-Hyams (Bob) , Iris Hammontree (John) and brother-in-law J.R. Redding, Jr (Rosalynn) and other beloved relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her husband Alva, her parents Clifford Jacobsen and Delores Bosch, and her brothers Daniel and Ronald and in-laws Newburn and Nell Redding.

Lea leaves a legacy of faith, family, service, perseverance, and kindness. Her loved ones will remember her ready smile, generous heart, steadfast devotion to her church, and the simple but powerful way she made others feel cared for. Although she will be deeply missed, her family takes comfort in the promise of Christ and the hope of seeing her again.

This is a Celebration of Leona’s life, please come dressed casually.

Friends and family are cordially invited to a Funeral service on Saturday, August 8, 2026, with Visitation from 10:00-11:00 AM and the Service to begin at 11:00 AM at Renovation City Church, 2101 Garden Rd Pearland, TX 77581. A reception will follow at the church.
