<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Lois-Holtz"></a>April 4, 1946 ~ December 6, 2022 (age 76)

On Tuesday, December 6, Lois Lee (Nienke) Holtz of Salina, Ks, a beloved mother and grandmother, left her home on earth to join her family in heaven. She was seventy-six. Lois was born in Ellsworth, Ks in 1946 to Hulda (Haase) and Ruldolph Nienke.&nbsp;

The grandkids, their friends, and her neighborhood children knew her as Grandma Bubbles. She was known for tossing bubbles at the kids while doing dishes with them. She was always playing and was quite the jokester when it came to the grandchildren.

<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Eric-Bauman">Obituary for Eric Vaughn Bauman | Ryan Mortuary</a>

February 4, 1975 ~ December 2, 2022 (age 47)

Eric Vaughn Bauman left this world unexpectedly on December 2, 2022, at the age of 47. He was born February 4, 1975 in Salina, KS.&nbsp;

Eric grew up in Niles, KS, until moving into Salina at the age of 10.&nbsp; Years later, he attended Salina High School South and Kansas Wesleyan University.&nbsp; Although he lived several years in Louisiana and Texas, Eric stayed near Salina most of his life.

He was a man of many talents and skill sets.&nbsp; He worked for Cargill AG Horizons in recent years but always enjoyed jobs where he worked with his hands, such as S &amp; S Drywall in Bennington.&nbsp; His favorite job, though, was his time spent in Houston, assisting victims of Hurricane Harvey to process claims and repair their homes.&nbsp;

He was a talented artist, sketching and drawing often at people’s request, even designing tattoos.&nbsp; He was a big Chiefs fan and tried to watch every game.&nbsp; He also collected anything with their logo on it, from t-shirts and jerseys of his favorite players to night lights and Christmas ornaments.&nbsp; He leaves behind his beloved Labrador retriever, Olive, and his cat, Popeye, whom he often referred to as his kids.

He is preceded in death by his paternal grandparents Noah and Patricia Bauman; maternal grandparents Everton and Lillian Lane; uncles Ronald Lane and Bob Bauman; and a cousin, Adam Bauman.

He is survived by his father William “Bill” Bauman, and his mother Roma Zachary (Troy Zachary); two sisters, Barbara Bauman and Belinda McDaniel; and his nieces and nephews, Cade Smith, Kassidy Bauman, Angelito Garay and Matiana Garay.&nbsp;

A memorial gathering will be held from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 10, 2022, at First Southern Baptist Church, 2401 S. Ohio, Salina, KS, followed by a continued celebration of life starting at 4:00 p.m. at Maggie Mae’s, 409 S. Broadway, Salina, KS.&nbsp; In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the family to help with expenses and the care of Olive and Popeye or to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (links are below).

Reginald 'Reggie' Treville Benoit

Richard Roy Wheeler, 85, died December 7, 2022, at his home with his 
wife at his side.&nbsp; He was born June 14, 1937, in Norton, Kansas, the son
 of Hazel Wheeler.&nbsp; Rich spent his early childhood years in the 
Northwestern Kansas area, moving to Hoisington in the 1950’s.&nbsp; An oil 
field worker for over 50 years, Rich was a roughneck and a tool pusher, 
working for Woodman &amp; Iannitti Drilling Company and Duke Drilling 
Company.

On July 24, 1995, he married Cynthia L. “Cindy” Kaiser in Deadwood, South Dakota.

A man of many interests, Rich’s hobbies included playing cards and 
tinkering on different projects around the house, specifically his 
tractors and lawnmowers – which he took pride in keeping his yard 
pristine. He loved to travel: whether that was on back roads driving 
with his wife, going to casinos, taking cruises with his wife or with 
his extended family members, or to his favorite destination, Hawaii. He 
lived life to its fullest and at times even on the edge.&nbsp; True to his 
nature, he had an open heart and was extremely generous, always ready to
 lend a hand.&nbsp; He enjoyed spending time with his family hosting many 
holiday’s, barbequing, camping, watching the younger children hunt 
Easter eggs followed by the adults hunting those “special” eggs. Many 
fun times and forever memories were given by him freely.

Rich was a dog and cat person, especially to his furry fur babies 
Jaxson and June Bug, who both survive. His four grandsons, Dallas Jr., 
Royce, Braeden &amp; Alex brought him tons of laughter and unlimited 
priceless moments and love.

He is survived by his wife of 27 years, Cindy Wheeler of the home; 
and his three children, Rory Wheeler of Holyrood, Natasha Cole (Kenny)

<a href="https://www.hallchapel.com/obituary/Gerald-Jensen">https://www.hallchapel.com/obituary/Gerald-Jensen</a>

Gerald Lee Jensen, age 83, of O’Fallon, Missouri, went to be with his Lord and Saviour on Thursday, December 1, 2022 in his home, surrounded by his family. He was born in Lincoln, Kansas on June 2, 1939 to Leslie and Bernita Jensen (nee Wilbeck).

Gerald graduated from Kansas State University in Manhattan, KS where he obtained a bachelor’s in mechanical engineering. 

During school, he married his high school sweetheart Marilyn Tanner. During his senior year, they had their first child Michael.

He started his career as an aerospace engineer at Boeing in Seattle where their second child, Angela, was born. Gerald’s work transferred him to New Orleans where they welcomed their third child, Pamela.

Work moved him once again to Huntsville where he worked on space programs. Moving to St. Louis, Gerald went to work at McDonnell Douglas, working there for more than 25 years before retiring.

While at McDonnell Douglas, he worked on various fighter programs. The work he was most proud of was his effort on the Bird of Prey as co-designer. The Bird of Prey was a black-project aircraft, intended to demonstrate stealth technology. This demonstrator was flown successfully, and the proven technologies are likely still used on current stealth aircraft.

Gerald was an avid fisherman and woodworker. He enjoyed working on and painting the family cars. He loved taking his family out in his pontoon on the Lake of the Ozarks. He especially enjoyed giving fishing lessons to anyone who enjoyed fishing as much as he did.

Gerald is survived by his wife Marilyn Jensen; son Michael S. (Denah) Jensen; two daughters, Angela (Alan) Crook and Pamela (James) Minor; seven grandchildren, Danielle (Jeremy) Hanson, Logan Minor, Justin (Lyndsi) Crook, Jessica (Michael) Jones, Tyler (Bria) Jensen, Mikayla (Austin) Raney, and Jarred Minor; 11 great-grandchildren; and a host of other family members and friends. 

He was preceded in death by his parents Leslie and Bernita Jensen.

Viewing: 4-6 p.m., Friday, December 9, 2022 at Hall Chapel, Lincoln, KS.

Funeral service: 11:00 a.m., Saturday, Dec. 10, 2022 at Hall Chapel.

<a href="https://www.roselawnsalina.com/obituary/brandon-heape">Obituary | Brandon Dean Heape of Bennington, Kansas | Roselawn Mortuary and Memorial Park (roselawnsalina.com)</a>

Brandon Dean Heape, 21, of Bennington passed away unexpectedly Friday November 25th, 2022. Brandon graced the world with his presence on February 13th, 2001. He was born to Kristina Hackett and Matthew Heape in Fairfield, California.&nbsp; 

The family moved to Beverly, KS in 2005 where Brandon spent the majority of his childhood causing chaos and havoc.

Brandon really looked up to and admired his father, Matt. They spent their days together ripping dirt bikes, fixing up cars, and target practicing at the bridge. Brandon’s mother unfortunately passed away last year but their bond was nothing short of extraordinary. Kristina would surprise Brandon and his boys with gifts that reminded her of them.

Brandon was blessed with two younger sisters, Amber Hackett and Allyson Anderson. He was fiercely protective of his siblings and was their rock throughout his young life. Brandon was adored to the fullest by his sisters. Amber and Ally knew if they had a problem of any kind, their big brother would handle it for them. 

Brandon was also survived in death by his loving grandmother, Patricia Hackett. Brandon’s grandmother cared for him all throughout his life.&nbsp; She was always there for him for whatever he needed, whenever he needed it.

Brandon is also survived by his devoted fiancé Kylie, their two adventurous children Jackson and Maddox, and their pitbull, Jane. &nbsp;Brandon stepped up as a father figure for these two little boys that he had no obligation to, which made their bond all that more special. Brandon and Kylie spent five wonderful years together.&nbsp; As you can imagine, the laughs and memories created were endless. Brandon had grown accustomed to the finer things in life. These things were typically funded by Kylie's checkbook, such as his beloved Jane.

These things were typically funded by Kylie's checkbook, such as his beloved Jane.Lil B was a friend to many and a stranger to none. Brandon had a close group of friends who would describe him as amazing, compassionate, persistent, genuine, stubborn, and spontaneous. Brandon had a way of forming unbreakable bonds with his friends children as well and they adored him. Brandon was naturally a great source of laughter with his bright personality and his cheesy smile. Brandon loved big and he loved hard. His friends knew how deep his love ran and that he would forever be there, no matter what.Brandon continued to show this love even after his friends were gone. Brandon took the time to call his best friend Christopher’s mother daily.&nbsp; He continued Chris’s nightly routine “Goodnight, Momma. I love you” texts that Chris was no longer able to send to her. &nbsp;We know Brandon is wearing that infectious smile up there with his best friend Chris, doing burnouts and giving heaven some hell.A memorial service for all of Brandon’s family and friends will be held on December 8th, 2022 at 1 p.m. &nbsp;The service will be held at Roselawn Memorial Chapel at 1920 E.
