Obituary - Brent Lee Carroll

Brent Lee Carroll, 20, of Warrensburg, Missouri died unexpectedly Friday, June 28, 2024, surrounded by friends and family. He was born September 21, 2003 in Clinton, Mo., the son of Joel Lee Carroll and Crystal Lynn Tirey.

Brent was a young, new and loving father. He was a role model to so many friends, an admired brother and passionately devoted to his family.

While he has left us because God called for him, he had so much more to offer and lived life to its fullest.

Brent inherited his parents’ work ethic and applied his all to everything he did and wanted. He put everything he had into his job with Whiteoak Ventures. Many will remember him as a revered athlete in cross-country and, also, as an old soul with a down-to-earth, but witty personality, He was slow to anger and quick to forget.

He will remain in the memories of many generations to come, especially through the innate traits that he has passed on to his son, Fynn. Fynn will carry on Brent’s handsomeness, beautiful and warming smile, compassionate spirit and endearing love for family and friends.

The loss of Brent leaves a void in all that knew him. The laughter, love and his accomplishments will help to fill the hole in our hearts and remember him for eternity.

Surviving are his mother, Crystal Tirey, Warrensburg, Mo.; father, Joel Carroll (Racheal), Calhoun, Mo.; one son, Fynn Redford Carroll of the home, his life partner, Alexis Rowland of the home; three brothers, Cameron Mertz, Clinton, Mo., Koel Carroll, Calhoun, Mo., and Wyatt Carroll, Calhoun, Mo.; one sister, Harley Humerickhouse, Clinton, Mo.; maternal grandmother, Diana "Nana" Tirey, Clinton, Mo.; maternal grandfather, Gary "Papa" Tirey, Tightwad, Mo.; paternal grandparents, Tammy and Randy Carroll, Clinton, Mo.; maternal great-grandmother, Beverly Sue Hills, Clinton, Mo.; paternal great-grandparents, Robert and Evelyn Hamblin, Clinton, Mo., and Deloris Collins, Clinton, Mo.; and numerous cousins.

He was preceded in death by his maternal great-grandfather, Gene Hills; maternal great-grandparents, David and Julie Tirey of Pinehurst, Texas; paternal great-grandfather, Johnny Carroll; and his uncle, James Hills.

The family would like to thank Johnny Morris and the entire Bass Pro organization for their love and support shown to them during this difficult time.

The family will receive friends from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., Tuesday, July 2, 2024 at the Bradley & Hadley Funeral Home, Clinton. Condolences may be left online at www.bradleyhadley.com.

Obituary - Phyllis Jean Stangl

With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Phyllis Jean Stangl, 69, on Monday, June 24, 2024, at home, surrounded by loved ones after a three-month battle with ovarian and peritoneal cancer.

Phyllis was born in Kansas City, MO, on July 24, 1954, to Anna Lou and Joseph Earl Jackson. She graduated from Raytown South High School in 1973 and attended the Independence School of Cosmetology, becoming a hair stylist at her mother’s salon. It was there she met the love of her life, Ricky Lee Stangl, and married him on July 3, 1980. They built a beautiful life together, blessed with four wonderful children and six grandchildren. They were married for 32 years.

Her proudest accomplishment was being a loving, devoted homemaker who always put others before herself. Later in life, when her children were older, she ran a successful business, Rick’s Auto Body Shop, for many years. Phyllis was strong in her faith and loved the Lord. She studied healing food nutrition for most of her life. Her favorite place to be was in the kitchen, preparing fresh, healthy food for her loved ones, sourced from her parents' or brother’s garden. She loved fresh flowers and raising monarch butterflies. She never met a stranger, was an amazing foosball player, and enjoyed camping and floating down the river. She cherished time spent at the Lake of the Ozarks with her sister and family.

"Philly Jean the Queen" will be deeply missed for her biblical advice and wisdom, powerful and loving prayers, quick wit, infectious laugh, warm hugs, beautiful smile, baby blue eyes, and excitement to share a good recipe. She had a unique gift for connecting with people and was an incredible inspiration to every life she touched.

Phyllis leaves behind four children to cherish her loving memory: her son Shawn Stangl (Amy), daughter Sarah Mullin (John), daughter Rebecca Stangl, and son Ricky Stangl II. She is also survived by her brother Rick Jackson (Phyllis), sister Cynthia, and grandchildren Madison, Shaylee, Molly, Mia, Maverick, and Miles. She was preceded in death by her parents Joseph Earl Jackson and Anna Lou Jackson, her brother Joe Jackson, brother-in-law Chris Sharp, sister in laws Jan Jackson and Patricia Jackson.

Our family would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Mom’s nurse, Michelle, and her PCT, Julie, for their dedication in making sure Mom was as comfortable as possible. The love and care you both gave her was a blessing, and we are forever thankful for you. We also thank Advanced Home Health and Hospice of Kansas City for their remarkable care.

**Mom’s life verse:**

*We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to His purpose.*

Romans 8:28
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Memorial donations may be made in honor of Phyllis Stangl to Advanced Home Health and Hospice of Kansas City, 4700 Indian Creek Pkwy, Overland Park, KS 66207.

Obituary - Matthew Curless Finley

Matthew Curless Finley, age 39, of Lamar, Missouri passed away June 26, 2024, at Freeman Hospital in Joplin, Missouri.

Matthew was born November 5, 1984, in Slidell, Louisiana to Craig Lynn Finley and Jerri Ann (Curless) Finley.

Matthew touched many lives in his young life. He attended Lamar School where he taught lots of people how to accept, love, and how to include people with differences. He brought so much joy into the lives of those who took the time to get to know him and his very cute and very onery sense of humor. 

He touched you with his smile that included those big brown penetrating eyes. The smile that everyone will remember him for. He loved to ride in the car and found car washes particularly fascinating. 

Especially after a trip to McDonalds to get his all-time favorite snack, McNuggets. He loved music. Especially piano and Christian stations on Pandora. Twiddling strings and musical toys were his constant past times. Matthew had an uncanny sense of good and bad people and seemed to have a direct connection with the angels that constantly watched over him. He also seemed to have an uncanny communication with our Heavenly Father who perfectly designed him for his earthly family. More than anything Matthew just loved hanging out with his family, laughing, playing, and just being.

Matthew had an exceedingly difficult health journey, but he was a fighter and seemed to have God’s Favor. 

When God finally said “I need you home” he quietly and peacefully left his body and ran to Jesus where he is now FREE to talk, laugh, run, sing, and dance. All things his earthly body had denied him. If he could have spoken a message to those who loved him, it might have been “please love The Lord with all your heart soul and minds. So that one day we can all be together again in Paradise. I have sooooo much to share.” His footprints are forever embedded in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. He most definitely changed the world and made it a better place.

Survivors include his parents, Craig and Jerri; one brother, Ryan (Carri) Finley of Fayetteville, Arkansas; one sister, Melissa Finley of Rogers, Arkansas; niece, Jaden Finley and nephew Kyler Finley; aunts and uncles, Linda Finley of Rogers, AR, David and Karen Roeder of Rossville, Kansas and Charles and Nancy Curless of Lamar, MO; cousins, Amy (Mike) Marrone, Julie (Bo) Bennett, Ann (Jason) Killmon and Natalie Roeder; long time caregivers, Mary Roth, Lisa Hunt, and Melissa Finley and more recent caregivers, Sandy Crockett and Michelle Gaines;

Matthew was preceded in death by his grandparents, Carl and Bonnie Finley and Bub and Janet Curless.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 2:00 p.m., Monday, July 1, 2024, at Lamar Methodist Church with burial to follow at Lake Cemetery in Lamar, MO.

The family will receive friends from 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m., Monday, July 1, 2024, prior to the service at the church.

Contributions are suggested and made payable to Hearts and Hands for Humanity and St. Jude Children’s Hospital in care of Daniel Funeral Home.

Cass County pursuit ends in Kansas City

This morning around 12:20 a.m., a deputy attempted to conduct a vehicle stop on I-49 just south of 155th St. in Belton for a traffic violation.

As the vehicle headed northbound on I-49, the deputy activated his emergency lights.

Obituary - Betty Lewis

Celebration of Life Services for Betty Lewis of Harrisonville, Missouri formerly of Butler, Missouri will be 11 a.m. Tuesday, July 2, 2024 at Schowengerdt Funeral Chapel (660-679-6555) in Butler, Missouri. 

No Visitation. Her ashes, as well as the ashes of her beloved dog, Paco, will be interred at a later date.. Contributions to the Butler Public Library or Butler Food Pantry. Online condolences www.schowengerdtchapel.com.

Betty Ann Lewis was born on May 22, 1942, in Supulpa, Oklahoma, to Edward Abner Norton and Geraldine Reed. During her childhood, Betty and her family moved frequently to various places in Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, and, finally, Missouri, where she found and married the love of her life, Jack Wallace Lewis. Together, they raised four children.

Betty loved music, singing, and dancing. She also loved cutting out articles from magazines and saving them, trying every type of crafting and watching the Hallmark and Ion channels. She especially loved ordering from QVC and was teased about being the “QVC Queen.”

Throughout her life, Betty had several occupations. She sold Avon and Mary Kay Cosmetics, worked for a short time at Walmart and, for quite a long time, at Noe’s Optometry. She eventually became a bank teller at Community First Bank in Butler, from which she “retired” several times. Betty was involved in the Bates County Career Association, acted as the treasurer for the Bates County Industries, and was a member of the Red Hats Ladies.

Betty was devoted to her family. She and Jack attended every activity of their children and grandchildren’s they possibly could.

Betty was preceded in death by her parents and two brothers, John and Jay.

Those left here on earth to mourn her loss are her husband, Jack Lewis; two sons, Rick (Sandy) Lewis and Leon Lewis; two daughters, Vicki (Dave) Tedesco and Robbin Garrett; and grandchildren, Geriann Boyd, Rob (Caitlin) Lewis, Len (Esha) Lewis, Shanna de Landsheer, Taylor (Samantha) Lewis, and Tessa (Anthony) James plus 6 great-grandchildren with one on the way, as well as many other relatives and friends.

Strong to severe storm possible this evening and tonight

This is a challenging forecast for this evening and overnight, with the potential for strong to severe storms. The area may remain capped, which would significantly reduce storm chances. 

If storms develop this evening, a few could be severe, with damaging winds and large hail as the main hazards. With so many outdoor events this evening, any storm that develops will be hazardous due to lighting. 

The most likely timing for storms across eastern KS and western MO is after seven this evening and then shifting east later in the night/ overnight.
