Dwight E. Fields 1942 - 2024

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Michael Dillon McCarty, 41, a resident of St Joseph Missouri, on April 1st, 2024.&nbsp;

Dillon was born on May 10, 1982, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Son of Heidi (Mullen) Wilson and the late Patrick Michael McCarty. Dillon is survived by his two sisters, Allison (Kevin) Reed and Carson (Mason) Meier as well as his brothers, Buck Wilson and Beau (Maria) Wilson. Although he didn't have children of his own, he loved spending time with all his nieces and nephews, Heidi, Kolton, Annika, Kurtis, Melody, Keith, Cale, Mason and Ollie.&nbsp;

Dillon enjoyed making others smile and had an unending supply of dad jokes, corny puns, and pranks. He delighted in cooking and grilling for others. With such an outgoing and charismatic personality he never knew a stranger. He was clever, resourceful and adaptable. He considered his haggling and negotiation skills an art form. The most genuine and accepting person one had the pleasure of knowing. &nbsp;Dillon was a dreamer, full of ideas and possibilities.&nbsp;

Fondly known as “Uncle Pickle” by his nieces and nephews he would frequently entertain, play cards and board games. Dillon was adventurous and daring, usually the life of the party. &nbsp;He enjoyed spending his free time thrifting, reading scifi, playing video games and tending to his plants. &nbsp;He will be a reminder that there is light in dark times and laughter in difficult situations. We will miss him more than words can express.

Mr. McCarty has been cremated under the direction of Heaton~Bowman~Smith &amp; Sidenfaden Chapel.&nbsp;

Cremation was Dillon’s last hope for a smoking hot body !

A casual celebration of life will be held on May 4th, 2024 at a time and location that will be announced soon.&nbsp;&nbsp;All who knew Dillon are welcome to attend.

Raymond Dean Parker was born on September 2, 1935 in Denver, Missouri to Wray and Mabel Parker and passed away on March 29, 2024. He was the youngest of 5 children, with Joy Hood of Gower and Glenn Parker of Colorado surviving. He is preceded in death by Gene Parker of Colorado and Robert Parker of Iowa.&nbsp;

He married Mildred Young on June 9, 1957. They had 5 children, Dan (Belinda), Kym (Jerry), Tom (Connie), Terri (Ronnie), and Steve (Kristen). They have 21 grandchildren, including their spouses. They also have 24 great-grandchildren and a few great-greats. His beloved dog, Bambi, also survives.

Raymond was a baseball coach for his son’s baseball teams. He would do anything for his children. He made sure they had cars when they could drive to school. He also knew how to maintain the cars. Even the Pacer one of them made the poor decision to buy. He worked on all of his cars up until his 80s.

Raymond was an avid fisherman and deer hunter. Millie would accompany him on his overnight hunting trips. He liked to plan family vacations at places where everyone could fish. Raymond loved having his family around him and he really loved having Sunday family dinners.

Raymond was a Moila Shriner and he belonged to the Zeredatha Charity Lodge, which he was a secretary for some time. He and Millie liked helping with the Missouri Special Olympics.

Raymond bowled on a league for years and he bowled a 300 game at Belt Bowl.

Raymond bought a fixer-up house and remodeled it himself into a very nice house that he loved. He worked on his house well into his 80s. He fell off of a ladder working on his house in 2020 when he was 84 and it changed his life forever. He had a craniotomy and was in a coma that the doctors thought he wouldn’t recover from. He came out of the coma and returned home. Sadly, his wife had health issues and had to go to a nursing home. He missed her very much and decided to join her in the nursing home. Millie passed in December 2021 and Ray missed her very much from that point on. He is with her now and both are surely very happy at last.

Farewell Services and Public Livestream 10:00 A.M. Thursday, Meierhoffer Funeral Home &amp; Crematory. Interment Memorial Park Cemetery. The family will gather with friends 6:00 to 8:00 P.M.

Naomi Ilene Allen 1940 - 2024

Timothy Patrick Roebling Junior left behind his earthly body and became perfectly free on March 28, 2024. Tim was the epitome of grace and forgiveness and was always thankful for any time someone would spend with him, no matter how short. 

With Tim, what you saw was what you got. He always had pure motives and intentions. For those who took the time to really talk to Tim, you would know he pondered things of great depth and spiritual wonderings. I have to believe God smiled at Timothy and even delighted in him. I believe Timothy was a young man after God’s own heart- always searching for the truth albeit imperfectly. Now Timothy rejoices because all of his questions have been answered. 

There was much he didn’t understand in the ways most people “understand” things but he had a way of sharing truths delivered in love. He accepted people as they were with no expectations. He saw things with a clarity not hindered by the world’s thoughts and opinions. Tim had a way of getting under your skin, but in the most endearing way possible. Like a lot of big brothers, one of his favorite pastimes was trying to push the buttons of his sisters and mom. He was fiercely loyal and protective of his family. When he was a kid, he attempted to dig a hole to hell armed with a plastic shovel to beat up the devil in order to protect his sisters in the ditch behind the house he and his family lived in. Tim’s determination in all he set his mind to do should be an inspiration to all. He fought for life and he fought to live the best life possible to him until the time God called him home.

 We will miss Tim’s obnoxious laugh, funny side comments, his smirk when he was proud of himself for stinking up a room- much to the dismay of everyone in the room- and even the way he pointed and laughed. His love for dogs, kids, books, history, the outdoors, fishing, cooking, auto mechanics and his family leave us with so many opportunities to see him in our daily lives, even though his physical body is no longer with us. Tim was a low key, casual guy who overall just loved spending time with his loved ones. No matter the occasion, whether it be working hard outside, sitting at the nail salon with his sister or Sunday Family Dinners, he was happy to be a part of it. Tim loved practical jokes, winning every single Monopoly Game (when dad wasn’t playing because dad is the ultimate winner) and was always taking care of his family in acts of service but also just trying to get us to laugh. Although we are indescribably sad, we strive to honor his life by remembering the good times and smiling through the tears. 

Tim was met in eternity by our childhood dogs, Boomer and Bryndle- who he loved and adored. Our sibling angel who we have never met earthside, Sarah. Paternal Great Grandparents Edward and Patricia, Grandfather John and Uncle Jimmy. Maternal Great Grandparents Robert “Bob” and Mary Rose and, Grandfather Gary Leas. Even though he never met or very briefly knew these people, they loved him for as long as they were with us earthside and before they knew of his existence. 

His memory and legacy are kept alive on earth by loving parents, Tim Sr and Becky, twin sister Mikayla and, younger sisters Jacki and Emma. Maternal grandmother Mary “Grandma Tiger”, Paternal Grandma Patty and numerous Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and friends. We love you, Bubba! 

 In lieu of flowers, the family asks donations be made in honor of Timothy to Parkville Women’s Clinic. www.PWC4life.us Until we meet again, we will carry his laughter in our hearts! 

“Do not cry because it is over, smile because it happened.” -Dr Seuss.

Tim was the epitome of grace and forgiveness and was always thankful for any time someone would spend with him, no matter how short. With Tim, what you saw was what you got. He always had pure motives and intentions. For those who took the time to really talk to Tim, you would know he pondered things of great depth and spiritual wonderings. I have to believe God smiled at Timothy and even delighted in him. I believe Timothy was a young man after God’s own heart- always searching for the truth albeit imperfectly. Now Timothy rejoices because all of his questions have been answered. There was much he didn’t understand in the ways most people “understand” things but he had a way of sharing truths delivered in love. He accepted people as they were with no expectations. He saw things with a clarity not hindered by the world’s thoughts and opinions. Tim had a way of getting under your skin, but in the most endearing way possible. Like a lot of big brothers, one of his favorite pastimes was trying to push the buttons of his sisters and mom. He was fiercely loyal and protective of his family. When he was a kid, he attempted to dig a hole to hell armed with a plastic shovel to beat up the devil in order to protect his sisters in the ditch behind the house he and his family lived in. Tim’s determination in all he set his mind to do should be an inspiration to all. He fought for life and he fought to live the best life possible to him until the time God called him home. We will miss Tim’s obnoxious laugh, funny side comments, his smirk when he was proud of himself for stinking up a room- much to the dismay of everyone in the room- and even the way he pointed and laughed. His love for dogs, kids, books, history, the outdoors, fishing, cooking, auto mechanics and his family leave us with so many opportunities to see him in our daily lives, even though his physical body is no longer with us. Tim was a low key, casual guy who overall just loved spending time with his loved ones. No matter the occasion, whether it be working hard outside, sitting at the nail salon with his sister or Sunday Family Dinners, he was happy to be a part of it. Tim loved practical jokes, winning every single Monopoly Game (when dad wasn’t playing because dad is the ultimate winner) and was always taking care of his family in acts of service but also just trying to get us to laugh. Although we are indescribably sad, we strive to honor his life by remembering the good times and smiling through the tears. Tim was met in eternity by our childhood dogs, Boomer and Bryndle- who he loved and adored. Our sibling angel who we have never met earthside, Sarah. Paternal Great Grandparents Edward and Patricia, Grandfather John and Uncle Jimmy. Maternal Great Grandparents Robert “Bob” and Mary Rose and, Grandfather Gary Leas. Even though he never met or very briefly knew these people, they loved him for as long as they were with us earthside and before they knew of his existence. His memory and legacy are kept alive on earth by loving parents, Tim Sr and Becky, twin sister Mikayla and, younger sisters Jacki and Emma. Maternal grandmother Mary “Grandma Tiger”, Paternal Grandma Patty and numerous Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and friends. We love you, Bubba! May 31,1998- March 28, 2024 In lieu of flowers, the family asks donations be made in honor of Timothy to Parkville Women’s Clinic. www.PWC4life.us Until we meet again, we will carry his laughter in our hearts! “Do not cry because it is over, smile because it happened.” -Dr Seuss.<figure>

Janice E. Paxson 1954 - 2024

Tom graduated from Benton High School in 1952. After graduation he joined the Air Force, and served four years as a radio operator with The Hurricane Hunter Division. He was discharged in 1956. Upon discharge he began an apprenticeship with the IBEW Local 545, which was completed in 1960. Tom worked for several electrical contractors until he began his own business, Lotz Electric, which was in business until 2003, when he retired due to health issues.

Tom will be re-united with his daughter, Debi (Bill), and will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Betty Lotz, sons, Kerry (Pam), Tommy (Debbie), and his daughters, Sheila (Harley), Kim (Mike). He will be greatly missed by nine grandchildren and thirteen great grandchildren.

He stood ten feet tall and could fix anything before you could bat an eye. Tom enjoyed sitting outside in the sunshine and his daily walks. He had a heart bigger than his body, and an ornery streak a mile wide. He loved playing marbles with Betty Jean, and he kept the best candy hidden in the little kettle by his chair. But, if you said please, he’d sneak you a piece. Sometimes it only cost a kiss on the cheek. He was stronger than an ox, tougher than nails, and he loved the hell out of our grandma. Especially kissing her on the forehead. We will always remember the exceptional way they loved each other. We will remember the strength it took to stay with us as long as you did, the resilience you showed to remember as much as you could, and the love that will last longer than a lifetime.

We might spill more cups now that you’re not around to scoot them back from the edge of the table, and, we may finally fall out of one of those chairs now that you’re not here to remind us that they tip, and to hold them steady until we’re safely sitting - but, the only thing better than having you as our dad and our grandpa, is having you as their hot doggie. We’re better people because you were ours.

Super heroes are supposed to live forever.

The family will receive friends from 6:00 - 8:00 PM on Thursday, April 4, 2024 at Rupp Funeral Home. Funeral services 2:00 PM, Friday, Chaplain Charles Lotz officiating. The Interment will be at the Memorial Park Cemetery. Online condolences, obituary and public live stream at www.ruppfuneral.com.
