    In Loving Memory of Brian Edward Wilson

    With heavy hearts and deep sorrow, we remember and honor the life of Brian Edward Wilson, 55, of Kure Beach, whose passing has left a profound void in the hearts of his family, friends, and the close-knit coastal community he called home.

    On Sunday, authorities responded to a residence along Fort Fisher Boulevard in Kure Beach following a report of a deceased individual. According to the Kure Beach Police Department, officers, alongside the Kure Beach Fire Department and New Hanover Regional EMS, arrived at the scene. There, they confirmed the passing of Brian Edward Wilson. His next of kin were notified, and officials stated that the incident remains under investigation, with the North Carolina Medical Examiner’s Office to determine the cause of death.

    While the investigation continues, what remains certain is the impact Brian had on those who knew him. A man of 55 years, Brian carried with him a lifetime of memories, experiences, and connections that shaped not only his own journey but the lives of many around him. In a town like Kure Beach—where neighbors greet each other with warmth and the ocean breeze carries stories of generations past—every life is deeply woven into the fabric of the community. Brian was part of that fabric.

    Those who knew Brian speak of a man whose presence was steady and familiar. Living in a coastal town, he was no stranger to the rhythms of the sea—the quiet sunrises over the Atlantic, the salty air that fills the lungs with calm, and the simple beauty of shoreline walks. Whether he found peace in the sound of crashing waves or joy in conversations shared with friends and neighbors, Brian’s life was rooted in the place he called home.

    At 55, Brian had lived through seasons of change and growth. He experienced the triumphs and trials that shape a person’s character. Through it all, he remained someone remembered not for a single moment, but for the many moments he shared—conversations, laughter, acts of kindness, and the quiet support that often goes unseen but is deeply felt.

    His passing is a reminder of how fragile and precious life truly is. It calls us to cherish the time we have with one another, to express love openly, and to never take a single day for granted. For Brian’s family, the grief is immeasurable. Losing a loved one is a pain that words can never fully soothe. Yet in the midst of sorrow, there is comfort in memory—the stories told, the photographs kept, the shared experiences that will forever remain alive in their hearts.

    The Kure Beach community now stands together in reflection and sympathy. In small towns especially, loss is communal. Neighbors grieve alongside neighbors. Friends hold each other a little tighter. And through shared remembrance, healing slowly begins.

    As the investigation proceeds and questions await answers, we focus not on uncertainty, but on honoring Brian Edward Wilson’s life. He was more than a headline or a report—he was a son, perhaps a brother, possibly a father, a friend, a neighbor. He was a human being whose life mattered.

    May those who loved him find strength in one another. May the memories they hold bring moments of warmth amid the sorrow. And may Brian Edward Wilson rest in eternal peace, forever remembered along the shores of Kure Beach where his story became part of the tide.

    Gone from sight, but never from the hearts of those who loved him.

    In Loving Memory of Cormani Percel Alston Burnett

    With heavy hearts and profound sorrow, we remember and honor the life of Cormani Percel Alston Burnett, a beloved son, family member, and friend whose life was tragically taken on the evening of February 23, 2026. At just 25 years old, Cormani’s journey was cut short in a senseless act of violence that has left the Roanoke Rapids community mourning and searching for answers.

    Shortly before 8:00 p.m. on that Monday evening, deputies with the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of gunfire in the area of Highway 48 and Rhea Smith Road. When they arrived at the parking lot of a nearby convenience store, they discovered Cormani inside a vehicle, suffering from a gunshot wound. Despite the swift response, he was pronounced deceased at the scene. What should have been an ordinary evening became a heartbreaking tragedy that forever changed the lives of those who knew and loved him.

    Cormani Percel Alston Burnett was more than the circumstances of his passing. He was a young man with dreams, ambitions, and a spirit that touched many. Those who knew him describe him as kind-hearted, resilient, and deeply devoted to the people he cared about. He carried himself with a quiet strength and had a way of making others feel seen and valued. Whether through laughter shared among friends, time spent with family, or simple everyday conversations, Cormani left lasting impressions that will never fade.

    To his family, Cormani was a cherished son and relative whose presence brought warmth into their lives. His smile could brighten a room, and his voice was one of comfort and familiarity. The pain of losing him so suddenly is immeasurable. No parent should have to bury a child, and no family should have to endure such heartbreak. Yet even in their grief, they hold tightly to the beautiful memories he created over 25 years — memories of holidays spent together, milestones celebrated, and the quiet, meaningful moments that define a life well lived.

    To his friends, Cormani was loyal and genuine. He was someone you could count on — someone who would show up, listen, and stand by you. In a world that often feels uncertain, he was a steady presence. The stories shared in the wake of his passing speak volumes about the impact he had. They tell of his humor, his determination, and the love he showed so freely.

    As the investigation continues, the Halifax County Crime Stoppers is asking anyone with information to come forward, and Investigator I. Miller of the Sheriff’s Office remains a point of contact for those who can assist. While justice is sought, the focus today remains on remembering Cormani — not as a headline, but as a human being whose life mattered deeply.

    His passing is a sobering reminder of how fragile life can be. It calls the community to stand together, to support one another, and to work toward peace in the face of violence. In honoring Cormani’s memory, may we choose compassion over conflict, unity over division, and love over hatred.

    Though his life was brief, Cormani Percel Alston Burnett’s legacy will endure in the hearts of those who loved him. His name will be spoken with tenderness. His memory will live on in shared laughter, in quiet reflection, and in the enduring bond of family and friendship that even death cannot sever.

    Rest in peace, Cormani. You were loved beyond words, and you will be missed beyond measure.

    Emergency crews were dispatched to Nazareth Pike after reports of a serious crash. Authorities initially confirmed one fatality at the scene. By Monday, Lower Nazareth Township Police Chief James DePalma shared the heartbreaking update that both men — Edward, 59, and Lucas, 22 — had succumbed to their injuries. Police noted that the roadway was wet at the time of the collision, though not snow-covered, underscoring how quickly ordinary moments can turn into unimaginable tragedy.

    Remembering Edward Segreaves

    Edward Segreaves was a man who carried the wisdom of his years with quiet strength and steady kindness. At 59, he had built a life defined not only by hard work but by compassion and dedication to those around him. He was someone people could rely on — a steady presence, a listening ear, and a generous heart.

    Friends remember Edward as dependable and thoughtful, the kind of person who would show up without being asked and stay until the job was done. His life was rooted in family and community. Whether through his work, his friendships, or the simple everyday interactions that shape a life well-lived, Edward made an impact that will not be forgotten.

    His passing leaves a void in the lives of those who loved him — a space that can never truly be filled, only honored through memory and gratitude for the time shared.

    Remembering Lucas “Loopy” Snyder

    At just 22 years old, Lucas Snyder — lovingly known as “Loopy” — was at the beginning of a journey filled with promise and possibility. His nickname itself speaks volumes about the joy and personality he carried with him. Lucas was known for his vibrant spirit, his sense of humor, and the way he could light up a room simply by being in it.

    To his friends, Lucas was more than a name; he was a presence — energetic, loyal, and unforgettable. He had dreams still unfolding, milestones yet to be reached, and a future that seemed boundless. Though his years were few compared to many, the love he gave and the memories he created were vast.

    Those who knew him will remember his laughter, his unique spark, and the warmth he shared so freely. In every shared story and every tear shed, his spirit lives on.

    A Community United in Grief

    The tragedy on Nazareth Pike has shaken Lower Nazareth deeply. Two lives, separated by nearly four decades in age yet equally valued and cherished, were lost in a single heartbreaking moment. Wet road conditions, though not snow-covered, remind us all of the unpredictability of life and the fragility of every journey we take.

    In times like these, a community draws closer. Neighbors check on one another. Friends gather in quiet remembrance. Families lean on faith and on each other to find the strength to endure what feels unbearable.

    Edward and Lucas may have walked different paths in life, but in their passing, they are united in the shared grief of a community that will forever remember them.

    Godspeed, Edward and Lucas

    As we say goodbye, we do so with broken hearts but also with gratitude — gratitude for the lives they lived, the love they gave, and the memories they leave behind.

    May Edward Segreaves rest in eternal peace, remembered for his steadfast presence and kind soul.

    May Lucas “Loopy” Snyder rest in eternal peace, remembered for his bright spirit and infectious joy.

    Godspeed to you both. May your journeys beyond this life be gentle, and may your families find comfort in the love that surrounds them during this time of profound loss.

    In Loving Memory of Stephanie Madzy

    With profound sorrow and heavy hearts, the community of New Braunfels mourns the tragic loss of Stephanie Madzy, a beloved 60-year-old resident whose life was taken far too soon on the evening of February 23, 2026. What began as an ordinary late afternoon in the heart of the city became a moment of heartbreak that has left family, friends, and neighbors grappling with grief.

    At approximately 5:45 p.m., officers from the New Braunfels Police Department and firefighters from the New Braunfels Fire Department were dispatched to the 200 block of North Seguin Avenue following reports of a vehicle striking a pedestrian. First responders arrived swiftly and immediately rendered lifesaving aid. Despite their dedicated and urgent efforts, Stephanie succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene.

    Authorities later confirmed that the incident occurred at the intersection of North Seguin Avenue and Mill Street. The driver of the vehicle, identified as 60-year-old Jude T. Jones, was operating a dump truck and had been stopped at a red light before attempting a right turn. Investigators determined that he failed to yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and struck Mrs. Madzy in the process. Jones was transported to CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital at his request. He has since been detained, charged with criminally negligent homicide, and transferred to the Comal County Jail. The case remains under active investigation, and additional charges may be pending.

    Yet beyond the details of that tragic evening lies the story of Stephanie Madzy — a woman whose life meant so much more than the circumstances of her passing.

    Stephanie was a cherished member of the New Braunfels community. At 60 years old, she carried with her decades of memories, friendships, and quiet acts of kindness that shaped the lives of those around her. She was known for her warmth, her resilience, and her generous spirit. Whether sharing laughter with friends, offering support to neighbors, or simply enjoying the rhythm of everyday life in her hometown, Stephanie embodied compassion and grace.

    Those who knew her describe a woman who valued connection. She treasured conversations, celebrated small joys, and made people feel seen and heard. Her presence brought comfort. Her smile carried reassurance. She was a steady and loving force in the lives of her family and friends.

    The streets of downtown New Braunfels will never feel quite the same. A simple walk along North Seguin Avenue now carries the weight of remembrance. For many, the intersection where her life ended has become a solemn reminder of how fragile and precious life truly is.

    In the wake of this tragedy, the community has come together in mourning and reflection. Friends and loved ones hold tightly to memories — of shared meals, heartfelt talks, celebrations, and everyday moments that now feel immeasurably valuable. Grief has woven its way through the city, but so too has unity, as neighbors support one another through shock and sorrow.

    Stephanie’s life was not defined by the tragedy that claimed her. It was defined by the love she gave, the relationships she nurtured, and the legacy she leaves behind. She will be remembered not for how she died, but for how she lived — with kindness, dignity, and heart.

    As her family navigates unimaginable loss, they do so surrounded by a community that shares in their grief. May they find strength in the outpouring of compassion, comfort in cherished memories, and peace in knowing that Stephanie’s life touched many.

    Though her journey on this earth has ended, her spirit lives on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. May her memory be a blessing, and may we honor her by carrying forward the kindness and care she so freely gave.

    Rest in peace, Stephanie Madzy. You are deeply loved, and you will never be forgotten.

    In Loving Memory of Gabriel Ramirez

    Highlandville, Missouri — The community of Highlandville and the entire state of Missouri are mourning the heartbreaking loss of Deputy Gabriel Ramirez, a 30-year-old Christian County deputy who was tragically killed in the line of duty Monday afternoon. His death has sent shockwaves through law enforcement agencies and communities across multiple counties, as colleagues and citizens alike grieve the loss of a dedicated public servant who made the ultimate sacrifice.

    According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the fatal shooting occurred around 4 p.m. near the intersection of State Highway 160 and Route HH. Deputy Ramirez was conducting a routine traffic stop when the encounter turned deadly. What began as a standard law enforcement duty ended in unimaginable tragedy.

    Christian County Sheriff Brad Cole identified the suspect as Richard Bird, who allegedly fled the scene following the shooting. The Stone County Sheriff’s Office released an image of the suspect as authorities launched a widespread and coordinated manhunt. Bird’s pickup truck was later recovered in Reeds Spring, Missouri, and officials believe he abandoned the vehicle before fleeing into wooded areas in Stone County.

    In response to the shooting, the Missouri State Highway Patrol activated a Blue Alert, a system used when a law enforcement officer is killed or seriously injured in the line of duty and the suspect poses an ongoing threat to public safety. Approximately 100 officers, deputies, and state troopers from various agencies have joined forces in the extensive search effort, demonstrating the unity and resolve of Missouri’s law enforcement community.

    While the investigation and manhunt continue, the focus for many remains on honoring the life and legacy of Deputy Gabriel Ramirez.

    At just 30 years old, Deputy Ramirez had already dedicated his life to serving and protecting others. Wearing the badge was more than a profession — it was a calling. He stood as a symbol of courage, commitment, and community trust. Those who knew him describe him as dependable, compassionate, and deeply committed to keeping his community safe. He answered calls for help without hesitation, embodying the very essence of public service.

    His passing is not only a loss to the Christian County Sheriff’s Office but to the countless lives he impacted through his service. Behind the uniform was a son, a friend, a colleague, and a member of a tight-knit community who believed in doing what was right, even when it meant putting himself in harm’s way.

    As Highlandville and surrounding communities come together in grief, flags fly at half-staff and tributes pour in, reflecting the deep respect held for Deputy Ramirez. The blue line stands united in mourning, but also in determination — to seek justice and to ensure his sacrifice is never forgotten.

    Deputy Gabriel Ramirez’s life was one of purpose and bravery. Though his watch has ended, his legacy of service, honor, and sacrifice will endure in the hearts of those who loved him and in the community he faithfully protected.

    May he rest in eternal peace, and may strength and comfort surround his family, fellow deputies, and all who grieve this profound loss. 🕊️

    Austin, Minnesota — The community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Lukes James Ball, a 31-year-old resident of Austin, whose life was tragically cut short in a devastating crash over the weekend. His sudden passing has left family, friends, and neighbors in profound sorrow as they struggle to come to terms with an unimaginable loss.

    According to the Minnesota State Patrol, Lukes was killed in a head-on collision involving an SUV and a semi-truck on Highway 218, approximately five miles north of Austin. The state crash report indicates that a southbound SUV collided with a northbound semi on the two-lane highway. Lukes, who was the driver and sole occupant of the SUV, tragically died at the scene.

    On Monday, authorities officially identified the victim as Lukes James Ball. The confirmation brought heartbreaking finality to a tragedy that has shaken the entire Austin community.

    The semi-truck driver was identified as 39-year-old Labh Singh Banger of Regina. He was not injured in the crash. His passenger, 47-year-old Varinder Bawa, also of Regina, was transported to Mayo Clinic Health System in Austin with non-life-threatening injuries.

    The crash report further stated that alcohol was not involved, and all three individuals were wearing their seatbelts at the time of the collision. Authorities have not disclosed which vehicle may have crossed into the oncoming lane. The circumstances surrounding the crash remain under investigation.

    Emergency responders from multiple agencies, including Mayo Clinic Ambulance, the Austin Fire Department, the Blooming Prairie Police Department, and the Mower County Sheriff’s Office, responded swiftly to the scene. Despite their rapid response and efforts, Lukes could not be saved.

    While details of the crash provide a factual account of what occurred, they do not capture the depth of the loss felt by those who knew and loved Lukes. At just 31 years old, he had a lifetime of memories still to create, dreams yet to fulfill, and countless moments still to share with those closest to him.

    Lukes will be remembered not for the tragedy that claimed his life, but for the way he lived it. Those who knew him describe a man with a generous heart, a steady presence, and a quiet strength that brought comfort to others. He was a son, a friend, a neighbor — someone whose life, though far too short, made a meaningful impact on the people around him.

  • In Loving Memory of Jake Longman and Dylan Harrison: Two Young Lives Tragically Lost in Minneapolis

    In Loving Memory of Jake Longman and Dylan Harrison: Two Young Lives Tragically Lost in Minneapolis

    In Loving Memory of Jake Longman and Dylan Harrison: Two Young Lives Tragically Lost in Minneapolis

    With broken hearts and profound sorrow, we remember the precious lives of 14-year-old Jake Longman and 12-year-old Dylan Harrison, whose young futures were tragically taken in a heartbreaking act of violence in Minneapolis.

    On Irving Avenue North, in the 42xx block, what should have been an ordinary afternoon turned into an unimaginable tragedy. At approximately 3:30 p.m., officers from the Minneapolis Police Department responded after a caller returned home and made the devastating discovery — two children inside a residence suffering from gunshot wounds. First responders rushed to provide lifesaving aid, working with urgency and hope in their hearts. Despite their tireless efforts, both boys were pronounced deceased at the scene.

    As authorities secured the area, another alarming moment unfolded when an individual reportedly armed with a firearm approached nearby. Officials have stated it remains unclear whether that person was connected to the shooting, adding further uncertainty to an already painful and confusing situation. Investigations continue, but for grieving families and a shaken community, answers cannot undo the heartbreak.

    Yet beyond the headlines, beyond the flashing lights and police tape, were two boys — sons, brothers, friends, classmates — bright lights whose presence brought warmth and meaning to those around them.

    Jake, at 14, was stepping boldly into his teenage years. He stood at the threshold of young adulthood, where dreams begin to take clearer shape and ambitions start to form. He was discovering who he wanted to be, building friendships that might have lasted a lifetime, and learning lessons that would have guided his path. There was promise in his smile, potential in his plans, and a future filled with milestones he deserved to reach.

    Dylan, just 12 years old, carried the boundless energy and innocence of youth. At an age where laughter comes easily and curiosity fuels each day, he was likely exploring hobbies, sharing jokes with friends, and leaning on family for comfort and encouragement. His world should have been one of school projects, weekend fun, and dreams stretching far beyond the horizon.

    The loss of a child is a sorrow unlike any other. It leaves bedrooms painfully quiet, dinner tables with empty seats, and routines forever altered. It leaves classmates struggling to comprehend absence, teachers mourning unrealized potential, and neighbors holding their loved ones a little closer. It leaves parents facing a grief that words can never fully capture.

    As Minneapolis mourns, we choose to hold close the memories of Jake and Dylan — not defined by the violence that took them, but by the lives they lived and the love they gave. We remember their laughter, their kindness, their growing dreams. We remember the simple, beautiful moments that made them who they were.

    May their names be spoken with tenderness. May their families find strength in one another and comfort in the outpouring of community support. And may their memories inspire deeper compassion, stronger unity, and renewed commitment to protecting the innocence and promise of every child.

    Jake Longman and Dylan Harrison will never be forgotten. Their light, though extinguished far too soon, will continue to shine in the hearts of all who knew and loved them.
