In 1955 the Garcia family moved to Bellaire, Texas. He attended Horn Elementary, Pershing Junior High, and Bellaire High School. While at Bellaire, he went to Texas Barber College and received his Texas Barber License at the age of 17.

He was stationed at RAF Wethersfield, England, with the 2163 Communication Squadron. While at RAF Wethersfield, Bobby taught at Manor Primary School as a Volunteer. In November 1968, Bobby’s orders were redlined and he was transferred to Tan Son Nhut AFB, Saigon, Vietnam, with the 1876 Communication Squadron.

Bobby paid it forward with Ariel, giving back what he had received when he was alone in England. After Ariel’s father died, he became Ariel’s Dad, and Ariel is currently following in his footsteps in education. Bobby held a tenure of 18 years at the original Carpenter Elementary before the new campus was built in 2019.

Before his retirement in 2009, he helped supervise senior students at their graduation; many graduating students had started their public education as kindergarten students at Carpenter Elementary, where he was their principal.

During his 42-year career as an educator, Bobby touched the lives of thousands of students, parents, and hundreds of colleagues working with him at various campuses and the administration building. Included in the lives Bobby touched are those in England, Vietnam, Germany, Austria, Brazil, Venezuela, Greece, and throughout the United States, which Bobby called “His Extended Family.” It can be said and agreed that Bobby had a magnetic personality that allowed him to befriend anyone he met. Bobby’s big dimples went with his big smile and captivating personality. His greatest legacy is the love, sacrifice, compassion, and guidance he provided to his entire family and those whom he represented in his position as an educator.

After retiring from education, Bobby worked with multiple organizations. • Disabled American Veterans • United Service Organization • Veterans of Foreign War • American Legion • Congressional Service Academy Board • Pasadena Area of Retired School Employees • DPUMC Finance Committee • Crossover Program Committee (DPUMC)

Vance worked for GATX Terminals, ITC Terminals, and ended his career at Valero Refining. He always put his family first. Despite working shift work, he made as many extracurricular events that he could for his girls. The long hours and days were a sacrifice so his family would never have to want for anything.

Although Vance wanted boys, he was blessed with 2 girls, which he soon found out he could teach to hunt, fish, shoot and be competitive in sports. He supported his girls in anything and everything they did but mostly in travel softball which lead to college scholarships.

Vance enjoyed cooking, hunting, fishing and spending time outdoors at “the farm” in Caldwell, Tx.

Alton Henry Biggers - August 02, 1938 - February 13, 2021

Departed: 02/13/2021 (Pasadena)

Obituary Preview: Alton Henry Biggers, 82, of Pasadena, Texas slipped out of his earthly body to meet his precious Lord and Savior on February 13, 2021. Daddy became a Christian at age 9, and his love for the Lord grew each day and was evident to those who knew him or met him.

Daddy is survived by his wife Glenda of over 60 years; his daughters Sandy Biggers and Terri Biggers Payne; son-in-law David Payne, and two grandsons, John Henry Payne and wife Jessica (of Houston) and Joseph Payne all of Pasadena, Texas; brother Kenneth Biggers and sister–in-law Brenda Biggers of Channelview, Texas. He was preceded in death by his parents, three sisters, and his precious son James. He also leaves behind several nieces, nephews, cousins and a host of friends and numerous acquaintances---as he was the quintessential social butterfly and never met a stranger.

Daddy was born in Pasadena and raised in Channelview, Texas. He joined the Texas National Guard after high school and attended Lee College until he was called to active duty in 1961 and then honorably discharged as a Sergeant E-5. He worked as an insurance salesman, a pipefitter, and eventually worked his way to becoming an engineer. In 1980, he created a consulting business and was contracted to Solar Turbines for 34 1/2 years. Daddy worked hard to provide for his family and retired at the age of 77.

Mom and daddy knew each other from childhood---attending the same schools and the same church. After dating for seven years, mom had to give daddy a little push and they were finally engaged and soon married on August 19, 1960. Mom and daddy were best friends---sharing all the good and bad throughout their 60+ years together. They were a good team and gave us a strong foundation of faith, love, and laughter.

Daddy was known for all the nicknames he had for people---his way of expressing love. He always had a quip or colloquialism that would bring a smile. He loved looking out the front door at home and keeping an eye on all the activities around him, and as often as he could, he would walk the neighborhood to visit with everyone. Daddy was reserved, strong, generous, very loving, and tender-hearted. His dry sense of humor will be so greatly missed.

Viewing will be held at Rosewood Funeral Home, 3939 Pasadena Blvd., Pasadena, Texas on Monday, February 22 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. The funeral will be at Pasadena’s First Baptist Church, 7500 Fairmont Pkwy, Pasadena, Texas on Tuesday, February 23 at 12:00 p.m.; burial will follow at Rosewood Memorial Park, Humble, TX.

Joe was all about his family; his grandbabies. He was an outdoorsman, enjoying fishing, hunting and golfing. He enjoyed collecting and piddling, but mostly his family. He had a full life. He had retired from Phillips Petro Chem after 39 years of service, working in Equipment Reliability. As he said, he would “fix things”. During his time with Phillips Joe served the Shared Resources Credit Union as a board member for 31 years and as chairman for 21 years.

Joe was a man of old fashioned principles in a world needing more of it. He lived his life as an example for everyone to see. He was the standard that we should all hope to obtain. He loved the Lord and understood his role as a faithful husband and devoted father. He was known among his friends to be a brother, someone they could count on. His grandchildren filled him with such joy. He loved being at every baseball game, cheer competition, football game or volley ball match. Joe never shied away from sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. We rejoice in knowing that on Sunday afternoon he heard those words we all long to hear, “well done my good and faithful servant, welcome home.”

Nina Sue Konneman - December 17, 1943 - November 20, 2020

Departed: 11/20/2020 (Pasadena)

Obituary Preview: Nina Sue Konneman, otherwise known as Sue or Susie, was born December 17, 1943, to James and Eleanor Appleby in Bullpitt, Illinois. She succumbed to cancer peacefully at home on November 20, 2020, at age 76.

Sue was preceded in death by her son Alan Konneman; parents James and Eleanor Appleby; sister LuAnn (Charles) Miller; and brother James R. (Beverly) Appleby.

Sue was great-grandmother to Lilly, Jane and Oliver Konneman. Sue was a caring aunt and great-aunt, too.

Sue was a beautiful, strong woman that passed her strength and beauty on to her delightful daughters, Alana and Denise. Sue was full of life, laughter and love. She loved her home and neighborhood. You could find her outside watering her flowers most mornings with a cup of tea and her beloved dog Woody. She recently had a new kitchen and “parlor” built in her house and she had a knack for decorating that would put most interior designers to shame. She was raised to love the feminine look, like pink flowers, lace, doilies and antiques.

Sue tried to help anyone and everyone that was less fortunate than her. Whether it was an uplifting chat, a few bucks or babysitting someone’s dog, she gave it her all. She was a strong woman who faced life’s trials with the old saying, “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” Everyone she met remembered her for her upbeat personality, her great sense of humor and her undying love for her family and friends.

Sue will be missed by all. Her laugh was contagious. Her heart was as big as the state of Texas, which she loved to call home.
