Michael Ervin

Michael "Mike" Ray Ervin

January 24, 1971 – July 31, 2026

Michael Ray Ervin, known to nearly everyone as "Mike," passed away unexpectedly on Friday, July 31, 2026 at the age of 55.

To describe Mike in a few words would be impossible. He was a man of strength and conviction, a protector, a storyteller, an adventurer, a husband, a father, a grandfather, and a friend. He lived with a fierce sense of loyalty, a deep commitment to integrity, and an unwavering belief that people should stand up for what is right.

Mike was born in Kansas City on January 24, 1971 to Virginia Arnette Niemisto and Gerald Lee Ervin Sr. He was raised in Marshall and in Riverside, Missouri.

He was proud of his Scottish heritage and often spoke about the honor and resilience of his ancestors. To Mike, heritage was not simply about where you came from—it was about the values you carried forward. Honor, loyalty, courage, and protecting those who needed you were principles he lived by.

From a young age, Mike had a competitive spirit and a drive to challenge himself. He played offensive line for Oak Park High School where he graduated in 1989 and continued his football career at Missouri Valley College in Marshall, Missouri. He later played semi-professional football as an offensive linebacker for the Kansas Plainsmen.

Mike was the kind of player no one wanted to line up across from. His size, strength, and determination made him a formidable opponent. He played with intensity and discipline, earning a reputation as someone who could overpower even the strongest competition. Football was not just a sport to Mike—it reflected who he was: relentless, hardworking, and unwilling to give up. He stopped playing only when it stopped being fun.

Mike attended Missouri Valley College before transferring to Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Missouri, where he earned his bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice. During college, he served in an undercover capacity with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). He had a strong desire to serve and protect others and planned to continue that path through federal law enforcement.

Mike pursued a career with the FBI and took the entrance testing process three times. He successfully passed the testing process, but ultimately chose not to continue after learning that different testing standards had been used for different applicants. For Mike, the issue was not about opportunity—it was about principle. He believed that those responsible for protecting others should be held to the same standards.

As Mike often said, "I need the guy who watches my back to be on the same level as I am."

That statement reflected who Mike was in every area of his life. He believed in preparation, accountability, and doing things the right way—even when nobody was watching. Integrity was not something he talked about; it was something he practiced.

Mike was an Equipment Rental Specialist with CK Power in Lenexa, Kansas. He took great pride in his work ethic. He believed that if something was worth doing, it was worth doing well. The words, “Not my job” were never a consideration. If someone called him, he wouldn’t stop until he confirmed they got what they called for. He often helped others with projects when they could not afford professional work, giving his time and skills because helping people mattered more to him than recognition.

He also had a reputation for noticing details others overlooked. Mike believed words mattered and took pride in communicating clearly. He had little patience for careless grammar, spelling, or punctuation—even in text messages. To him, doing things correctly was a reflection of respect.

Mike was someone who stood up for the underdog. He was not afraid of confrontation when he believed something was wrong, and he never worried about whether speaking up would make things easier for himself. He earned a reputation as someone who was not to be tested because he would not back down from what he believed was right.

But those who knew Mike best knew there was much more to him than his strength.

Behind the intimidating presence was a man with a deep sensitivity to people. Mike noticed things others missed. He paid attention to intentions, emotions, and struggles. He could often sense when someone was hurting or when something was not right.

Mike had a gift for making people laugh. Complete strangers would find themselves talking with him for hours, entertained by his stories and his unique sense of humor. Many people told him he should start a podcast because they could listen to him talk forever.

The funny thing was, Mike hated attention.

He did not want the spotlight.

He wanted people laughing.

He wanted people connecting.

He wanted people to enjoy the moment.

Adventure was an important part of who Mike was. He was a member of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO) and participated in expeditions exploring one of his favorite mysteries and being the unwitting entertainment with his conversations. He loved the outdoors, storytelling, and the possibility that there was still something unknown waiting to be discovered. He had planned another Bigfoot expedition this Fall and looked forward to continuing those adventures.

Mike also loved drums. As a child he saved money and brought 3 sets only to have his father throw them out. As an adult, he replaced those 3 sets and merged them into one. Taking great care and joy in re-skinning them. He bought his sons their own sets and planned to gift his grandson a set as well. He said he loved restoring them and working on them more than playing them. It was in the doing something and doing it well and seeing the results of his care become something lasting that meant the most.

Mike was a devoted husband to Lisa Ann Masters. Together, they faced challenges that tested them in ways few people experience, including COVID, a coma, a house fire, bankruptcy, job losses, a near miscarriage of their youngest son, continued health concerns three hip replacements, two rotator cuff surgeries, biceps surgery, and personal hardships. Through all of it, Mike never stopped trying to become the man he believed his family deserved.

He made Lisa laugh in a way few people could. He made her feel beautiful even on the days she struggled to see it herself. He knew her strengths and her struggles, accepted the things that made her different, and loved her completely.

Mike was not perfect, and he never claimed to be. He had a temper, but he also had the humility to come back afterward and truly apologize—not just say the words, but explain what he had done wrong and why. He was always trying to grow, improve, and become better.

Nothing brought Mike more pride than being a father.

He is survived by his wife, Lisa Ann Masters; their sons, Petrus Arconus Dean (6) and Freyys Steele Alucien (5); his daughters, Josie Ervin Hazel (22), wife of Zander Hazel, and McKinlee Rae; his grandson, August Elizac Hazel (3); and his unborn grandson, Thomas Ezra “Tommy” Hazel (-1 day).

Mike loved his daughters deeply. His goal was to help them become strong, independent, and intelligent women. He was proud of who they became and never stopped wanting the very best for them.

With his sons, Mike found endless joy. He chased them through the house pretending to be a monster, bought eight pounds of Monster Trucks because he could not wait to see their excitement, took them into nature to teach them how to track Sasquatch, and made silly noises at night just to hear Petrus copy him.

He knew when to be firm.

He knew when to be gentle.

He knew when his children needed guidance and when they simply needed love.

Mike's greatest concern was always the future of his children. He wanted them prepared for life, but he also wanted them to enjoy it. He wanted them to be strong without losing their kindness.

Scotland held a special place in Mike's heart. He dreamed of visiting the land of his ancestors, walking where they walked, and experiencing the history he felt connected to. He and Lisa talked about someday staying in a log cabin and sharing that adventure together.

Though life delayed many of those dreams, they never disappeared.

Mike will be remembered as a man of strength and softness, conviction and humor, protection and compassion. He was the person who would stand between someone and danger, then come home and play monster with his children.

He was the man who could intimidate a room, but whose smile could make someone feel like the most important person there.

He was not perfect.

He was real.

He was always trying.

And he was deeply loved.

Manfred "Fred" Jalass

Manfred “Fred” Juergen Gerhard Jalass, 77, died July 6, 2026 in Kansas City, Missouri. Fred was born on May 22, 1949 in Ludwigslust, East Germany.

With his mother and father, they escaped from East Germany in 1952. His working parents were unable to care for him and he was sent back to his mother’s parents in East Germany. When he was 6 years old, he contracted polio. The communist government refused to medically take care of him. He was kicked out of East Germany and reunited with his parents. Polio was his ticket to freedom.

Luck was with Fred and his parents in 1958, an elderly aunt living in San Francisco offered to sponsor them so they could immigrate to the United States. His parents continued to improve their lives by getting better jobs but it required the family to move. From San Francisco to New York City to Milwaukee to Omaha. Unable to speak a word in English when he came to the US, he learned quickly even with changing schools numerous times. His best English tutor was movies. Disney’s “Pollyanna” and “Parent Trap” were his favorites, watching them over and over. In 1964 his family finally settled in Omaha, allowing him to attend and graduate at one school, Benson High School ‘67’. Also, he proudly gained his American Citizenship on November 17, 1966.

Fred next attended the University of Nebraska starting a new chapter in his life. On June 17, 1968 a tumble while playing flag football landed him at the feet of Eunice Gleeson. That is how he first met his soulmate. They both graduated from UNL. They continued to be ever faithful Husker fans. Season ticket holders for both Football and Volleyball, they attended home games and matches. They also traveled with friends to away games.

February 20, 1971 Fred and Eunice were united in marriage. New Year’s Eve ‘71, they became the proud parents of Jessica.

In 1986 Fred announced the family was going to take a vacation. To their surprise it was a 7 day, 500 mile, camping and bicycling trip across Nebraska with 500 other riders. BRAN (Bike Ride Across Nebraska) was now in the family’s blood. After participating as riders for a couple of years in the annual ride, Fred became part of the organizational team in 1990. Over 25 years designing different routes, selecting new host towns and various themes. Fred and Eunice also volunteered various support functions during the week long ride. BRAN stayed overnight in all 93 counties; in cities and towns with population of 90 to 25,000. Riders came from almost every state and several foreign countries. It was a year around passion for Fred and Eunice.

In 1987 Fred took a big risk and became the owner of International Minute Press, a printing company. For almost 30 years it successfully served individuals, businesses and organizations.

Both Fred and Eunice retired in 2015. They continued to enjoy biking, attending Husker games and traveling.

Fred has now found peace and looking forward to his next ride in heaven.

Fred was preceded in death by his mother, Erika Schreiber Jalass, and father, Juergen Jalass. He is survived by his loving wife Eunice Gleeson Jalass, brother, Tom (Becky) Jalass, daughter, Jessica (Tony) Galati, and grandson AJ Galati. He lives on in the memories of family and friends.

A Celebration of Life will be held when his ashes are brought to Omaha. The date has yet to be determined.

Norman S. Graham

Norman Stanley Graham

March 12, 1934 – July 23, 2026

Norman Stanley Graham, 92, of Liberty, Missouri, entered into the presence of his Lord and Savior on Thursday, July 23, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family.

Born on March 12, 1934, in Alpine, Texas, Norman lived a life defined by three unwavering commitments: God, family, and country. Those values guided every decision he made and shaped the legacy he leaves behind.

After losing his father at a young age, Norman was lovingly raised by his grandparents, Joseph and Mollie Graham, whose steadfast faith, strength, and example helped mold the man he would become. Several uncles also invested deeply in his life, especially William LeBar, whose military service and as a pilot in the “Flying Tigers” inspired Norman's lifelong love of country. His mother, Margaret (LeBar) Graham, later married Joe Pippin, who also became an important part of his life.

Inspired by those who raised him, Norman answered his nation's call by serving four years in the United States Marine Corps during the Korean War era. After returning home, he worked on ranches, for the railroad, in the electrical industry, and in construction throughout Texas before reenlisting in the United States Army, where he completed more than twenty-one years of honorable service, retiring in 1974 as a Sergeant First Class.

As a communications specialist and leader, Norman served throughout the United States and overseas, including multiple tours in Germany and a combat tour in the Republic of Vietnam. Germany always remained his favorite duty assignment.

His distinguished military career earned numerous honors, including the Bronze Star Medal, the Army Commendation Medal, and the Order of the Lion. The Bronze Star recognized his professionalism, initiative, sound judgment, and devotion to duty during combat operations in Vietnam. He later received the Army Commendation Medal for his outstanding service as an instructor at the United States Army Signal School at Fort Gordon, Georgia, where he trained and mentored future Soldiers. Throughout his career, Norman exemplified quiet leadership, technical excellence, humility, and unwavering devotion to duty.

Norman met the love of his life, Dovie Pearl Hood, in Monahans, Texas. They married in 1960 and began building a life together. Like many marriages, theirs experienced seasons of joy and hardship. They divorced in 1974, reunited later in the 1970s, and formally remarried in 1985. Norman often summarized their marriage with simple wisdom: "We had our share of problems, but we worked through it." Their restored marriage became a testimony to forgiveness, perseverance, and enduring love. He remained faithfully devoted even after Dovie's passing in 2022.

Although Norman was proud of his military service, he would have been the first to tell you that his greatest accomplishment was his family.

He was the devoted father of Frank Graham (Leslie), Robert Graham (Joanna), Ryan Graham, Philip Graham (Heather), and Jessie Graham. Through his example, he taught his children that faith, honesty, hard work, integrity, and keeping your word mattered. His lessons were rarely preached but faithfully lived.

In his later years, Norman lovingly raised his granddaughter, Taylor, pouring into her the same patience, wisdom, and unconditional love that had always defined him.

Norman possessed a work ethic that was simply unmatched. Whether serving his country, providing for his family, helping a neighbor, or building one of his many intricate models, he believed every job worth doing was worth doing well. He was a steady stalwart man always “putting one foot in front of the other”.

One of his greatest passions was model building. Over the years he meticulously crafted hundreds of military aircraft, tanks, ships, and sailing vessels. Among his proudest creations were the Cutty Sark and the USS Constitution ("Old Ironsides"), fitting symbols of a man who was himself strong, steadfast, and built to endure life's storms. Though he never accumulated great wealth, he possessed riches that cannot be measured. If he had something and someone else needed it, he gladly shared it. His generosity knew no boundaries, and his greatest treasure was found not in possessions but in the love he freely gave to others.

His Christian faith was the foundation upon which he built his life. He loved the Lord with all his heart, loved his family without reservation, served his country with honor, and treated every person with kindness and respect. Those who knew him best never had to wonder what mattered most to him because he showed them every day by the way he lived.

Norman was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Dovie Pearl Graham; his son, Ryan William Graham; his granddaughter, Morgan Elizabeth Graham; his father, William David Graham; his mother, Margarett (LeBar) Graham Pippin; his stepfather, Joe Pippin; his grandparents, Joseph and Mollie Graham; his brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Doug and Cathy Hood; his brother-in-law, Tom Hood; his sister-in-law, Betty Hill; and his nephews, Darrell Hood, Wayland Hood, and Wayne Hood.

He is survived by his children, Frank Graham and wife Leslie, Robert Graham and wife Joanna, Philip Graham and wife Heather, and Jessie Graham and Kevin; his daughter-in-law, Tammy Parker, beloved wife of his late son, Ryan William Graham; his beloved granddaughter Taylor, whom he lovingly raised; thirteen grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; his sister-in-law, Virginia Hood; and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, fellow veterans, and cherished friends.

Visitation will be held on **Saturday, July 25, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., followed by a Celebration of Life at 2:00 p.m., at Park Lawn Northland Chapel, Liberty, Missouri.

A graveside service with full military honors will be held on Monday, July 27, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at Leavenworth National Cemetery, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where Norman will be laid to rest beside his beloved Dovie.

Family and friends are invited to wear patriotic attire or country/cowboy apparel, if desired, in honor of Norman's love for God, country, and his Texas roots.

Memorial contributions may be made to the South African Children's Resiliency Project (SACRP) www.sacrp.org

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart,

and do not lean on your own understanding.

In all your ways acknowledge him,

and he will make straight your paths."

— Proverbs 3:5–6

Norman trusted the Lord throughout his life—through hardship, military service, family joys, personal trials, and every blessing God provided. He sought to honor God, love his family, and serve his country with humility and faith.

In the end, his life's testimony is found in these words:

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."

— 2 Timothy 4:7

Well done, good and faithful servant. (Matthew 25:23)

Adios, Daddy...Happy Trails to You Until we meet again.
