It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Deveart Marvin Denning, who left us peacefully on April 7, 2026, at the age of 65. Born on February 17, 1961, in Alice, Texas, Deveart lived a life filled with hard work, deep connections, and a genuine love for those around him.
Deveart was a self-employed electrician and the proud owner of DMLCD, LLC, which he founded in 2011. Through his work, he developed lasting friendships with local ranchers, quickly earning a reputation as a dependable jack-of-all-trades. With a quick mind and a knack for fixing things—earning him the endearing nickname “MacGyver”—Deveart was known for tackling any challenge that came his way. His straightforward, honest nature made him a cherished friend, reliable colleague, and an all-around good man.
Family and friends were at the heart of Deveart’s life. He was a man with a servant’s heart, always ready to lend a hand and showcase his care through acts of kindness. While he preferred a quiet life, away from the spotlight, he found great joy in fishing and hunting, sharing those moments with loved ones whenever he could.
He is survived by his loving wife of 38 years, Leslie Denning; his brother Tommy Denning and wife Vickie; his sisters LaJuan Fischer and husband Bennie, and Evyonne Willesden; and several beloved nephews and nieces.
He is preceded in death by his parents Marvin and Maxine Denning; infant brother Doyle Denning; nephew Doyle Wofford; and brother-in-law Joseph “Willy” Willesden.
All services will be held on April 13, 2026, with visitation at 9:00 AM, followed by funeral services at 11:00 AM at the Brush Country Cowboy Church in George West, TX. under the direction of Hurley Funeral Home-Pleasanton.
In honoring his memory, let’s remember Deveart for the incredible man he was—down-to-earth, reliable, and always putting others first. He will be deeply missed.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Paul Raul Gomez on Saturday, April 11, 2026.
Paul Raul Gomez was born on August 29, 1946, to Jesus Gomez & Maria Sauceda Gomez in La Sejita, TX.
Paul was drafted into the Army, where he served mainly in Korea from 1967 to 1969, while serving with the First Battalion of the 38th Infantry Regiment/2nd Infantry Division.
One of his passions was coaching fast-pitch softball. He mentored many girls not only in Devine but in all the surrounding communities. If he wasn’t coaching sports, he was watching it! He never missed a Texas Longhorn or Dallas Cowboys game!
His greatest passion in life was following his son’s journey through high school, college, and on to being Devine High School’s head football coach. Watching not only his son, Coach, but also his grandsons play in all their extracurricular activities brought him immense joy. Being a dad and Grandfather was the proudest role of his life.
Paul is survived by his wife, Norma Gomez; his son, Paul Jessie Gomez and fiancée Amy Hernandez; son (nephew) Johnny Rodriguez (Michelle); his siblings Ramiro Gomez and Rachel Lopez. Along with his Grandchildren Matthew, Marcus, Mason, Isabella, Cassandra, and Hailey, and with many nieces and nephews.

Judith Ann Nordmeyer, née Heckmann, of Castroville, Texas, was called to her eternal home in Heaven on 11 April 2026, at the age of 79.
Born on 25 November 1946 in Fort Worth, Texas, Judy was the child of Rev. Paul W. Heckmann and Bernadine Emma Heckmann, née Zabel. She was baptized into the Christian faith by her father on 8 December 1946 at Zion Lutheran Church in Fort Worth. She was confirmed in her faith on 5 June 1961 at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Odessa, Texas, also by her father. Judy lived her life for Christ, as expressed in her confirmation verse: “and He died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for Him who for their sake died and was raised” (2 Corinthians 5:15).
Judy graduated with a degree in education from Concordia University, Nebraska. She taught early elementary at Lutheran schools, was a secretary/church secretary, and was a church organist. She was introduced to Herb Nordmeyer by her uncle, Rev. Dr. Carl A. Heckmann, who later presided at their marriage on 28 April 1979 at Hope Lutheran Church in Austin, Texas.
A devoted member of a number of LCMS churches throughout her life, Judy called Divine Savior Lutheran Church in Devine, Texas, her church home for nearly ten years. She was an avid and talented organist. She began playing the organ while she was in high school, and she continued to play at both Divine Savior and at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in San Antonio well into her 70’s. She also sang in church choirs and the San Antonio Chorale at various times in her life. Judy was known for her love for the Lord, her love of music, and her cross-stitch. She found great joy in her church community and in the beauty of God’s creation.
Judy is preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by her devoted husband David Herbert Nordmeyer, by her brothers Kenneth Paul Heckmann (Susan), Don Carl Heckmann (Karen), and Paul W. Heckmann II, by her step-daughter Dana (J.T.) Elmore, and by her grandchildren Arwen Elmore, Linnea Elmore, and Fornie Elmore. She is also survived by numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Though we grieve, we do so knowing that Judy has finished the race, kept the faith, and now rests in the eternal peace promised by our Savior (2 Timothy 4:7).
A funeral service celebrating Judy’s victory in Christ will be held on Saturday, 18 April 2026 at 10:30 a.m. at Divine Savior Lutheran Church in Devine, Texas with Pastor Randall Wehmeyer officiating. Visitation will be held at the church immediately before the service (beginning at 9:30 a.m.), and a meal will be served immediately following the service. Interment will take place at Ft. Sam Houston National Cemetery on Tuesday, 21 April at 9:45 a.m. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to Divine Savior Lutheran Church or to Cru (ministry to college students) in Judy’s name.
