Rev. Dennis Wayne White, age 77, of the Robinson Ridge section of Swords Creek, VA, was called home by the Lord on Sunday, October 25, 2026.

Dennis was born on June 26, 1949, in Swords Creek, VA, to the late Roy Jefferson White and Alice Francis Whitt White. He was the owner and operator of Dennis White Paving and Sealing. Dennis adored his family, and it brought him great joy to spend time with them. His children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were his world. Above all, Dennis loved The Lord. He pastored The Horton Ridge Church of God for over 40 years. Dennis not only ministered in person, but he also preached on WGTH on Friday mornings. His life’s mission was for people to hear the Word of God, and he worked diligently to reach the lost.

To hear Dennis preach was a great privilege. His burning passion to feed those who were hungry in spirit was evident. His mission to lead people to the Lord was not confined to the pulpit or radio; It shone through in the day-to-day conversations you had with him, and even the funerals he preached. During the last funeral Dennis preached at Hurst-Scott, he spoke of his excitement to get to Heaven. Up until the end, he wanted to excite and encourage everyone he could. Dennis was a family man, a hard-worker, and a soul winner. He will be dearly missed by his family and friends.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his loving wife, Linda Gay Whitt White; his son, Roy William White;...

Walter ‘Walt’ Maze Horn, age 87, of Cedar Bluff, passed away suddenly on Tuesday morning, October 20th., 2026, at Clinch Valley Medical Center in Richlands with a massive heart attack. Born on Horn Mountain on Friday, September 22, 1939, Walter was the second child born to the late Robert Horn and Eva Keen Horn. Walter was also one of only two or three surviving grandchildren of Henry Horn, Sr.,—who settled the Horn Mountain community during the mid-1800’s.
Walter attended school on Horn Mountain, the same school where his wife, Alice, later taught. Walter’s father died when Walter was only nine years of age, leaving Eva with three boys to raise. Walter and his two brothers began taking odd jobs to help their mother.
His first real job was working for John Cole and Noah Lester (Pastor Troy Lester’s father) at Whitewood. He worked two years for them, making $1,00 an hour. He then went to work for Paragon Jewel Coal Company, where his starting wage was $1.60 an hour, cleaning the coal tipple and coal cars. After eighteen years at Paragon, he went to work for Keen Drilling, where he developed such a close bond with Ben Ratcliff and many of his co-workers. After eighteen years at Keen Drilling, Walt then went to work for Gasco—working there another eighteen years before retiring in 2013.
Walt was an engineer of his own making, working with heavy equipment. His ability to figure out the best way to do almost any job was one of Walt’s special...

Cletis Paul Justus, 53, of North Tazewell (and formerly of Hurley, Virginia), officially went “wide open” into the great beyond on Friday, October 9, 2026, at his home following a lengthy illness. Rumor has it he just finally ran out of things to fix, rewire, or chop down.

Paul was born in Welch, WV, on April 24, 1973, to Cletis Justus and Linda McGinnis, Paul then spent the next five decades refusing to sit still. Paul was a master of stone masonry, a logger, and an electrician who genuinely loved the thrill of live wires—often laughing about how it was a truly “jolting experience.” If a vehicle was making a weird noise or a house was falling apart, Paul was on it. His lifelong motto was, “If I can’t do it, I’ll figure it out,” a strategy that worked perfectly 99% of the time (and provided a good laugh the other 1%). Paul had a personality so loud and outgoing that it could shake a mountain, and a heart to match.

Paul regularly opened his home to anyone who needed a roof over their head and handed out boxes of food like a one-man charity franchise. When he wasn’t playing local hero, you could find him out fishing, hunting, hunting for ginseng, watching The Dukes of Hazzard, or being thoroughly wrapped around the fingers of his massive crew of grandkids.

Waiting for Paul on the other side is an infant child who preceded him in death.

Left behind to wonder how they’re going to fix anything without him is:

His wife of 38 years, Sabrina Kaye...
