1457 Obituary:

Jerry Keith Gable was peacefully released from his earthly life, while in the arms of his children at Christus Good Shepherd Medical Center at 3:30 a.m., Monday, June 18, 2018 in Longview, Texas.

Our family graciously invites family, friends and loved ones of Jerry Gable to join us and celebrate his life and memories Saturday, June 23 at 6 pm.

We request that everyone please bring a copy of picture(s) with Jerry, and write your favorite memory of him to be collected for a scrapbook Saturday, June 23 6pm to 9pm, 602 North Lane Wells Drive
Longview, Tx. 75604.

Born and raised in Longview, attending Longview ISD, he wreaked much havoc in his hometown, gaining a "diverse medley" of life long friends. Growing up as his dad's right hand in their local fish market business, he soon ventured into a variety of career paths, including welding, flooring installation, warehouse forklift operator, he most enjoyed working and cutting up alongside his buddies at CSI Inc. Pridefully becoming a father at age 17, he made being a protective and loving Daddy his passion. A simple man, working hard for his family, with rough hands that could fix anything, a bellowing deep voice that still echoes in our memories, and larger than life hugs, he was truly a great man. His hard headedness, light-heartedness and quick wit could always bring laughter, with a fair amount of sarcasm that could, at times, get under your skin. He didn't mind much, he was always ok with being the a**hole. No matter who walked through his front door, his arms and heart were always open, with no regrets, he loved all.

He chose to live his life to the fullest, keeping his declining health to himself until the final days. A special heartfelt appreciation is extended to the many loved ones that cared for him during this time.

Jerry was reunited with his parents Mr. and Mrs. Troy Gable, brother Joe Larry Gable, and nephew John Troy Gable. He will cherishingly be remembered by his family and loved ones; his loyal, former and only wife of 20 years Julie Dianne Lindell (Husband-in-law Randy Lindell), their devoted children Jessica Gable-Franke (Billy Franke), Joni Gable Green, Justin Gable (Alyssa Gable); adored grandchildren Jacob Beall, Jared Green (Savanah Green), Tobi Dillard, Julie Green, Larry Walters, Jace Green, Justin Gable Jr., and Jameson Gable; precious great granddaughters Ava Beall and Malorie Mendez. He will also be lovingly missed by his life-long best friend and sister Judy Leak (Jack Leak Sr.), and beloved nephews Jack Leak Jr. (Penny Leak), Joe Allen Gable and Jaysen Leak along with their children.

We will have some refreshments.

Please RSVP with any food items you plan to bring directly to Joni to coordinate by Facebook messenger (Joni Denise) or by text to (405)-590-1350.

Viewing will be at 6 p.m. Saturday, 602 North Lane Wells Drive, Longview, Texas 75604.

1477 Obituary:

Joe Edward Copeland Jr., age 64, died Thursday, March 22, 2018 peacefully at Willis-Knighton Pierremont Health Center in Shreveport, Louisiana from recent diagnosis of stomach/esophageal cancer.

Joe was born in Tacoma, Washington March 14, 1954 where his father was stationed during his military service in the Army. Most of his life Joe lived in Northwest Louisiana around Shreveport and Coushatta. He graduated from Fair Park High School in 1973. Joe had a passionate love of the outdoors and recently moved to Avinger, Texas to be near Lake of the Pines.

Joe was one of five children born to Barbara Crouch Copeland Byrd and the late Joe E. Copeland Sr. Many residents of Stonewall, LA will remember him working for his father "Papa Joe" at Joe's General Store. He was lovingly called "Eddie" by his siblings, Michael "Mike" Copeland and wife Eileen of Shreveport, LA; David "Tandy" Copeland and wife Donna of Keatchie, LA; Arthur Copeland of Houston, Texas; and Amy Copeland Simmons of Shreveport, LA.

In his youth Joe was an avid outdoorsman spending most of his time in the woods hunting or on the lake fishing. He worked as a carpenter and loved the feel of wood in his hand as he carved figures of the birds and animals he so loved. Joe was a big man standing 6'4" and rarely seen without his signature carpenter overalls. He had a hunger for life and was a pretty darn good cook by most standards. Many have sat at his table enjoying deer sausage, fried catfish or boiled crawfish. He was jolly and outgoing surrounding himself by many family and friends that will miss him dearly.

He is survived by his daughter, Christina Marie Copeland and husband Adam Hofslund of Frierson, LA; son, Trey Steven Copeland and wife Kali of Doyline, LA; granddaughter Ankara "Kari" Powell and husband Chris; grandson William Copeland; and great-grandchildren Emma and Marie. He is preceded in death by infant daughter Tamara Ann Copeland.

Joe's wishes will be honored and his ashes will be scattered on the lakes that he loved and where he spent most of his time. Memorial service is yet to be determined.

1481 Obituary:

Joel Lonnie Pertl, 78, of Deanville, Texas, went home to be with his Lord on October 7, 2022, after a long battle with Alzheimer's Disease. A public visitation will be held in his honor on Wednesday, October 12, 2022 from 1:00 - 2:00 PM followed by a Funeral Service at 2:00 PM in the chapel at St. John's Lutheran Church, Deanville, Texas.

Joel was born November 19, 1943, at home on the family farm in Deanville to Stanley and Annie (Sebesta) Pertl. He was raised, accepted Christ as his personal savior, was baptized, and attended church at First Assembly of God in Caldwell until he could no longer drive. He loved God with his whole heart. Although the disease took control of his mind, it never took God from his heart. We would often find him with his hands raised and singing to Jesus; even though his communication skills had declined.

Joel and his wife Melinda (Bell) Pertl were married in Spring Branch, TX on June 6, 1966. He and Melinda were sweethearts at first kiss. They courted for a year, married, and seven years later started their family. They had three children, Brent Pertl, April (Pertl) Drew, and Tisha (Pertl) Wathen.

After graduating from Caldwell High School in 1962, Joel's first job was at Alenco in Bryan, TX. Next, he joined the Army Reserves in November 1964 and served his basic training at Fort Polk, LA. He was honorably discharged after serving his 6-year term in June of 1970.

Joel retired from Alcoa with plans that he and Melinda would travel the United States with a camper. The diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease, changed these plans.

Joel was a lover of the land. He loved vegetable gardening, growing fruit trees, grafting Pecan trees, flowers, and had a green thumb. He enjoyed cutting fresh, beautiful, bouquets of pink roses for the love of his life, Melinda. He loved farming at the family farm, growing hay, raising cows, clearing mesquite bushes by hand, and was known for having the cleanest fence lines in the area. He loved fast cars, slow antique A and T models, and he also rebuilt/repaired them, but fishing was a huge passion; he made his own perch traps, ran trot lines and seined his own bait. He never wanted to brag about how big the fish were (some 70 pounds) and would not enter competitions because he didn't ever want to reveal his secret spots. He was always generous in sharing his catch with friends and neighbors. To reciprocate, the women whom he shared with, would bake many delicious desserts and deliver them to Melinda saying, "they were for Joel".

Joel was preceded in death by his parents Stanley and Annie (Sebesta) Pertl, his siblings; Stanley Pertl, Curtis and Naomi (Pertl) Rathjen, Clarence and Bobbie (Walker)Pertl, and Melvin Pertl.

He is survived by his wife Melinda Pertl, his twin sister Joyce Thatcher, his son Brent Pertl, his daughters April (Pertl) Drew and spouse Blake Drew & Tisha (Pertl) Wathen and spouse Kyle Wathen, his grandchildren Ansley Pertl, Jacob Wathen, Audrey Wathen, Alexa Drew, and Ava Drew.
Joel will be remembered as a very simple man that loved the simple things in life: faith, family, and friends.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made to Hospice Brazos Valley, 502 W 26th St, Bryan, TX 77803.
