Michael Leroy Rogers (83) of Houston, Texas, passed away on April 3, 2025 beside his long-time love, Adelina Cuellar in Houston, Texas.

A graveside service will be held on Monday, April 21, 2025 at 2:15pm at the Houston National Cemetery.

Michael was born on October 26, 1941 in Palestine, Texas to Leroy and Edna (Freeman) Rogers.  The family moved to Clute, Texas and Michael graduated from Brazosport High School in Freeport, Texas.

Michael enlisted in the US Army at the age of 17 in 1959.  He served in the Regular Army Signal Corps, specializing as a Field Radio Repairman, and served 3 years of active duty, including one year in Germany.  He also served in the Army Reserves until he was honorably discharged in 1965.

After his discharge from the Army, Michael moved to Houston, Texas where he worked as a house painter & wallpaper hanger.  He was a member of the International Painters & Allied Trades Union.

Michael met and married Patricia Coleman, and together they raised 3 children:  Rhonda Sue, Mikki Lynn, and Michael Leroy Jr.

After his divorce in 1989, Michael met the love of his life, Adelina Cuellar.  Michael and Adelina were almost inseparable over the next 36 years, enjoying hunting, fishing, gardening, eating, and spending time joking and laughing with family.

A devoted student of the Bible, Michael kept meticulous notes on his scripture studies.  He was known as a great cook, but an even better baker.  He grew his own vegetables, and jars of his pickles and armadillo eggs were often fought over.

Michael is predeceased by his parents Leroy Rogers and Edna (Freeman) Rogers, and his two daughters Rhonda Sue Scott and Mikki Lynn Steel.

He is survived by his son Michael Jr., daughter-in-law Susan, and their four boys: Spencer, Dakota, Adam & David.  He is also survived by his beloved companion Adelina Cuellar, her sons and daughters-in-law, and grandchildren.

  We are saddened to announce the passing of Christine (Tina) Marie Rice, 76 years old, of Houston, Texas. 

   Tina was born on June 4, 1948, to Ernesto V. Kahn and Rose R. Kahn in Manilla, Philippines. After graduating from high school, she moved to San Antonio, Texas to attend Incarnate Word College to receive her Bachelors of Business Administration.

    Tina met her husband, William (Bill) E. Rice, in San Antonio while Bill served in the United States Air Force in 1967 at a college dance that Incarnate Word College held jointly with Randolph Air Force Base. Tina and Bill married on February 7, 1970.

     After marrying in San Antonio, Tina and Bill moved to Houston, where she had two children, Christopher Russell (Rus) Rice, and Stephanie Melissa (Lisa) Perez. She was a dedicated mother, committed to raising their two children. While she took care of the Rice family household, she was also a strong, independent minded woman who provided her children with an amazing, caring, and vivacious role model. Further, she ran her own import/export business of Philippine goods, took various roles in childcare, teaching, and administrative industries, and supported functions at her children's and grandchildren's schools.  Tina was a doting grandmother to her two grandchildren and was very active in their day to day lives. Last, she had a great love for all animals, and her care for her many pets reflected the deep, nurturing spirit that she was.

    Those who had the tremendous privilege to be her family, or even know her, are deeply proud of this amazing woman and will miss her greatly. Her legacy of kindness, generosity, and love will continue to inspire us every day. 

    Tina was preceded in death by her parents and grandparents on both sides, her husband William E. Rice, and her daughter, Stephanie Melissa Perez. She is survived by her son, Christopher Russell Rice; her grandchildren, Sierra Perez and Gabriel Perez; and her sisters, Rose Marie Kahn Hugo, Margaret Mary Kahn Garcia, Elizabeth Mary Kahn Hoog, Cecile Marie Kahn Fonacier, Pauline Kahn; and brother Ernest Kahn Jr.

    A memorial service was held on April 30, 2025, at the Houston National Cemetery in Texas, where she was buried alongside her husband of 53 years.

   Tina Rice will always be remembered as a beloved wife, mother, and grandmother. We take great comfort knowing that our memories of her will live on in us. She is now reunited with her husband, absent from the body and face to face with the Lord. She is in a place of no more sorrow, no more tears, no more pain, no more death; the old things have passed away.

On April 19, 2025 the world lost a true original — William G. Zimmer “Bill”, lost his battle with cancer at the age of 79. Bill was a Navy veteran, master mechanic, faithful fisherman, and deeply loved father and grandfather. He was a man who lived life on his own terms — with grit, humor, and unwavering loyalty to those he loved. 

Bill proudly served his country in the United States Navy, where he developed the discipline and determination that would guide him throughout his life. After his service, he built a lifelong career as a mechanic, earning a reputation far and wide as the man who could fix just about anything. Whether it was a car engine, a broken appliance, or a toy for his grandkids, if it was broken, he made it as good as new again – sometimes even better. The grin on his face after a successful repair is one that will be greatly missed. He took immense pride in his repairs. 

He had a deep love for animals. Animals trusted him instinctively — maybe because they recognized a good soul when they saw one.  Whether it was a stray dog that wandered up hungry, a litter of puppies under a house, or countless animals his daughter led home, he had a soft spot for every four-legged friend. His current hound dog is evidence of his compassion, as he removed the animal from an abusive situation right next door to his own home. 

He had a sharp eye for a good sale or deal, and he never passed up a bargain and never paid retail— especially if it involved tools, tackle, or fishing gear. His love of fishing was second only to his love for family; a quiet morning by the water with a pole in hand was his version of peace.

He was never shy about sharing his political opinions — bold, unfiltered, and firmly rooted in his values. You always knew where he stood, and that honesty, though sometimes fiery, was part of his charm.

Bill was born on October 24, 1945, in Buffalo, New York and was the youngest son of the late Harold H. and Mary M. (Bratjan) Zimmer. Bill was preceded in death by his two brothers, Francis and James, and two sisters, Alice Alexander and Norma Stallone. He married Carol (Chmielewski), and together they raised a son: Reed Zimmer of Boerne, Texas, and a daughter, Dana (Jeremy) Berry of Lindale. Bill's legacy also lives on through his two cherished grandchildren, Khloe Berry and Jacob Berry, his eight nieces and three nephews and many friends and extended family who will miss his quick wit, capable hands, and steady heart.

The family invites friends and loved ones to pay their respects and share their favorite Bill stories on April 30, 2025 at the Veteran’s Funeral Services, 10567 Veterans Memorial Dr.  

Houston, TX 77038, on Wednesday April 30,2025:

· Visitation: 11:30

· Chapel Services: 1:00

· Houston National Cemetery: 2:00 w/ Military Honors

The family asks that you honor his memory by fixing something that’s broken, casting a line at your favorite fishing hole, or sharing a story that makes you laugh. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating in his name to Therapet Animal Assisted Therapy, 225 E Amherst Dr, STE 200, Tyler, Texas 75701. 

Bill Zimmer will be deeply missed, but his spirit will live on in the hearts of those who loved him. As one family member told us, “I have to believe all things mechanical are running just a bit smoother in Heaven now.”

Leo Badoni, our beloved husband, dad, brother, friend and grandpa passed peacefully from

this life in his home on April 25, 2025. He was 67. Born August 25, 1957 in Shiprock, New

Mexico to Stella (Bitsilly) and Mann Codi Badoni. Growing up on the Navajo Reservation, Leo

learned the importance of family, community and hard work. He was blessed to spend part of

his school years with the Douglas Grimshaw family in Bountiful, UT through the Indian

Placement Program. Leo graduated from Ignacio High School in Ignacio,CO, where he was

president of the rodeo team and a winning bull rider. He enlisted in the Army right out of high

school to “see the world.” Stationed in Mannheim, Germany with an armor unit, he worked as

a tank mechanic, but his joy was traveling and skiing the Alps with the International Ski Club.

After his enlistment, Leo enrolled at Utah State University, graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree

in Political Science and earning a commission through ROTC. While at USU, he met his future

wife on the mountain slopes in a ski class. He and his “sweetie” were married in December

1984 and later sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. They loved to ski, travel and dance to country

music. Upon graduation, Leo went back in the Army, this time as an officer. He scored another

tour to Germany, going to Field Station Augsburg as a Military Intelligence Officer. Leo had a

distinguished career as a United States Army Officer serving also at Schofield Barracks, Oahu,

HI, Fort Hood, TX and with a joint task force, HIDTA, in Houston, TX before being called to

serve in Iraq and Afghanistan in the Global War on Terrorism. He spent many years proudly

serving his country.

Beyond his professional achievements, Leo was a devoted husband and father. He loved to

come home after a long days work and share with his kids something he had learned that day.

The conversation at the dinner table would start on one topic and branch out and take twists

and turns into many related topics but would always end with: “now that’s why you’ve got to

get an education!” And he was an ardent supporter of his children’s educational and musical

endeavors. Leo is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served as a

Boy Scout leader and a Primary teacher.

Always striving to do his best, he spent the last 10 years fighting kidney cancer as a true

warrior. He had an extremely strong will to live. He was brave and courageous throughout his

life to the very end, a true example to family and friends.

He is survived by his devoted wife of 40 years, Sheryl; daughter, Ashley (Luke) Parrot; son,

Lance Badoni; daughter, Christa (Eric) Norgrant; son, Landon (Emily) Badoni; and sons, Logan

Badoni and David Badoni; 8 grandchildren: Charlotte and Ashton Parrot; Samuel and Ryker

Norgrant; Aeralynn Badoni; Lucas Chambers, Madison and Levi Badoni. He is also survived by

his siblings, Linda Mae (Chris) Glasser, Louise Badoni, Roy (Christina) Badoni, Vernon

(Shelaine) Badoni, and Rechelle (Jon) Sanchez; and foster siblings Carl (Kathy) Grimshaw, Jan

Grimshaw Brock (Dan deceased) and Scott (Beverly) Grimshaw. He is preceded in death by his

parents and his brother, Raymond Badoni, his foster parents, Doug and JoAnn Grimshaw and

foster sister, Connie Hardesty.

Leo will be remembered for his great laugh, his ability to talk to anyone on any topic, his ability

to keep a car running well beyond its projected lifespan and his unwavering dedication to God,

his family and his country. He will be deeply missed.

A memorial service will be held on Thursday, May 8, 2025 at 12:00PM at the Church of Jesus

Christ of Latter-day Saints in Houston, TX at 16331 Hafer Road, Houston, TX 77090. Visitation

begins at 11:00AM. Military Honors and Graveside Service begin at 2:15PM at the Houston

National Cemetery, 10410 Veterans Memorial Drive, Houston, TX 77038.

Flowers can be sent to Veterans Funeral Services, 10567 Veterans Memorial Drive, Houston,

TX 77038, by 4:00PM, Wednesday, May 7, 2025.

A sincere thank you goes out to the many doctors and nurses who cared for Mr. Leo at

MDAnderson over the years, to the doctors and staff at Whole Health Associates, and to the

nurses and aides from 1st Choice Hospice who came to his side and treated him with such

kindness and dignity.
