Comment on Judy Ann Gomez by Dana Hendricks https://downingandlahey.com/obits/judy-ann-gomez/#comment-133418015 Sat, 24 Oct 2026 18:02:12 +0000 https://downingandlahey.com/?post_type=ltobits&p=42988804#comment-133418015 When I think of Judy, I can hear her laughter in my head. A number of years ago “First Wives club” had a pool party at Rachel’s. I was not in the pool at the moment but I suddenly hear this voice calling me and laughing “DANA. DANA, LOOK, ESTHER WILLIAMS ESTHER WILLIAMS”. there she was arms spread wide and smiling big standing on Rachel’s shoulders in the middle of the pool. I wish had a photo. I just can’t believe this is real. Judy was like the pink energizer bunny, just going and going and going. With her excellent life style I always thought she would outlive us all. We were all truly blessed to have had her as a part of our lives for many many years. I am so sorry she had to leave us but her laugh will live on forever in my heart.

I’ve known him a long, long time from our Boeing days, back when he lived near Linwood park and rode a motorcycle. He kept a log of every cent he spent every day. He was frugal and he was funny. He loved life and all that was in it. May he rest in peace. He was a good guy.

Comment on Carl Blevins by Gina Wiedemann https://downingandlahey.com/obits/carl-blevins/#comment-133417993 Fri, 23 Oct 2026 13:17:03 +0000 https://downingandlahey.com/?post_type=ltobits&p=42988885#comment-133417993 I have so many fond memories of my Uncle Deenie. He was truly one of the finest men I have ever known. He always put the needs of his family first and was so genuine and kind. He never sought the spotlight or expected recognition; he simply served others.

I will always cherish our big family get-togethers, where Uncle Deenie was always at the grill making his famous burgers. Nobody could grill quite like he could. I used to babysit my cousins when I was younger, and he would always come to pick me up and take me home. He always had Juice Newton playing—maybe that’s where my love for country music started.

Every time I think of this next memory, it brings a smile to my face. Everyone who knew Deenie knew he didn’t have a mean bone in his body. I witnessed hundreds of times when he would tell his kids, who were acting up, “If I have to tell you one more time…” Well, we all knew he would tell them ten more times. We always teased him about that.

Any time I visited, Deenie always met me at the door with a hug. I’m going to miss him, but I have peace in knowing he is in heaven with our Lord and Savior. Rest easy, Uncle Deenie. I know I will see you again someday.

He was a very good man, I remember him as a kid growing up in Fredonia then reconnecting here in Wichita. He ran a good race that should be pleasing to our Lord…I’m sure he will be missed by many! Prayers for comfort and peace for all the family.

I’m Denzel Chau and I’m here to present the individual who transformed my life from poverty to becoming a multimillionaire Jackpot victor. I reached out to Lord Meduza for assistance with winning numbers and he successfully helped me after casting a lottery spell for me. I utilized the numbers to enter the Jackpot lottery and I was announced as the winner of $368,000,000. Acquiring the numbers from Lord Meduza took 72 hours and I want to express my gratitude publicly to him for his remarkable service to humanity and for deciding to assist me during my life’s lowest moment. Not everyone is meant to win the lottery, but with the assistance of Lord Meduza, you can achieve it. To reach him today, drop a message to his email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com or Whats^App +1 807 798 3042. To learn more go to his webpage: lordmeduzaspelltemple.com

He helped train me when I 1st joined the staff at KSN. He was so proud of his bike, he kept it in his 2nd floor apartment’s living room.
God bless him and may the good lord ease the pain and sorrow his family feels at this time.
