Ronald Klug

Ronald Ray Klug, of Cibolo, Texas, passed away on January 30, 2026, at Silver Tree Rehabilitation, at the age of 72.

Ronald was born on March 5, 1953, in San Antonio, Texas, to Harold and Shirley Klug. He was a graduate of Judson High School, Class of 1971. Following graduation, Ronald began his working career at the Coca-Cola Bottling Company, where he was employed until 1977. He later went on to serve the City of Kirby as a dispatcher, dedicating 32 years of loyal service to the community.

Upon his retirement, the City of Kirby honored Ronald’s commitment and legacy by naming the Emergency Communications Center the Ronald R. Klug Communication Center—a tribute that reflected the respect and appreciation he earned throughout his career.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Ronald later chose to move into assisted living, where he was able to enjoy a carefree life, living independently and on his own terms.

Ronald was known for his dedication, generosity, and quiet sense of humor. He deeply valued his family and cherished time spent with those he loved. When he wasn’t working, Ronald delighted in spoiling his nieces and nephews with memorable outings to places like McCreless Mall—often including dinner at Luby’s and a movie—as well as trips to Six Flags Fiesta Texas and SeaWorld.

His passions included visits to Radio Shack, Montgomery Ward, and Sears, and he enjoyed spending time away from work with trips to Rockport, Calaveras Lake, and Canyon Lake. Ronald also had a fondness for collecting stereos, police and fire scanners, CDs, DVDs, and faithfully playing the lottery on a weekly basis.

Ronald is survived by his brother, Donald Klug and wife Karen, and their children Kenneth and Anna Klug; Lori and Nick Staton; sister-in-law Delanie Klug and her children Colby and Sharee DeFriese, Jason and Katherine Klug; brother-in-law Joe Alderete and children Kenneth and Suzanne Shiroky; Michael Klug; and Nathan Alderete.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Harold and Shirley Klug; his brother, Edgar Klug; and his sister, Brenda Alderete.

Ronald will be remembered for his devotion to his work, his love for family, and the simple joys that brought him happiness throughout his life.

Though his journey has ended, Ronald will be remembered for living life on his own terms, finding joy in the little things, and sharing a love that will remain forever in the hearts of his family and friends. The memories he leaves behind will continue to bring smiles for years to come.

The family will receive condolences on Monday, February 9, 2026, at Palmer Mortuary from 9am to 10am. A prayer service will begin at 10am and interment will follow at the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Cemetery in St. Hedwig, Texas.

Serving as pallbearers will be Kenneth W. Klug, Kenneth C. Shiroky, Jason E. Klug, Michael J. Klug, Nathan P. Alderete and Nicholas A. Staton

For many, winter can bring a heavier emotional weight, especially for those carrying grief. The season slows us down, sometimes more than we’d like. Even so, some strength is built in stillness.

Isabel McCune

Go rest high on that mountain,

Your work on Earth is done.

I wish I could see the Angel’s faces

When they hear your sweet voice sing.

It’s taken me a while to write this because I still can’t really believe it’s true, but my mommy passed away. For those who didn’t know, she was struggling with dementia for a few years and even though she was a tough cookie and hung on for as long as she could, God called her back home on Saturday, 01/03/2026. She was 61.

“He Only Takes The Best”

God saw she was getting tired

And a cure was not to be.

So He put his arms around her

And whispered, “Come with Me.”

With tear filled eyes

We watched her suffer and fade away.

Although we loved her deeply,

We could not make her stay.

A Golden Heart stopped beating,

Hard working hands put to rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us

He only takes The Best.

Isabel was healed in Jesus’ name.

Isabel McCune left behind her immediate family - my little sister, Ilyana, myself, Gabryl, her grandson Alexander, and son-in-law, Kris, our dad, James McCune, her older brother, Antonio Guerra, and her nieces and nephews, Tanya, Toni LeAnn, Bobby Joe, Rick, Julio, and so many others who knew and loved her. I am comforted in knowing that she is now happily reunited in Heaven with her sister, Gracie, and her mom, Maria Elena, who she talked about missing often.

She was born and raised in Texas and proud of it. We liked to call her “chiquita pero picosa” because she never let anything stand in her way of getting what she wanted when she set her mind to it. With that being said, she also loved hard and like no other. I will miss her always calling to talk my ear off for hours about her day and her unconditional love, my momma bear, mi mamacita. She taught me everything she could and helped mold me into the mother I am blessed to be today. I’ll always remember her excellent taste in music and fashion, as well as her ability to always know the right things to say if she wasn’t near by to hold me in her loving arms. I’ll never forget the way her closet smelled or the sound of her tiny little feet walking with her large collection of high heels she always loved to wear - rain or shine. I could’ve never dreamed of anyone better fit to be my mother, she was the best and gave me so many memories to hold on to her until we meet each other again. Wear your crown, momma, I love and miss you so much.

“I Made It Home”

I just wanted to let you know

That I made it home.

The journey wasn’t an easy one,

But it didn’t take too long.

Everything is so pretty here,

So white, so fresh, so new.

I wish that you all

Could close your eyes

And that you could see it too.

Please try not be sad for me.

Try to understand

God is taking care of me…

I’m in the shelter of His hands.

Here there is no sadness,

No sorrow, and no pain.

Here there is no crying

And I’ll never hurt again.

Here it is so peaceful

When all of the angels sing.

I really have to go now…

I’ve just got to try my wings.

You may hear the terms viewing and visitation used interchangeably, but they can serve different purposes.
A viewing is typically a quiet time to pay respects in person, while a visitation is often a more open opportunity for family and friends to gather and offer support.
Both are meaningful in their own way.

January is National Get Organized Month.

A new year is a natural time to take stock of important details and put things in order. Taking time to organize now can make things easier for the people you love later.

Schedule a time to talk with us about planning ahead.

Gilbert Gonzales

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Gilbert Gonzales, on January 4, 2026, in Edinburg, Texas. Gilbert was a life-long resident of Seguin born on March 3, 1947, to Maria de Jesus (Amador) and Joe L. Gonzales and is preceded in death by his mother and father, his wife, Yolanda R. Gonzales, and his siblings, Margaret Nieto, Richard Gonzales and Joe Gonzales, Jr.

Gilbert was a husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and a very talented musician and singer and is survived by his sons, Gilbert Orlando Gonzales (Nancy) and Antonio Reynaldo Gonzales (Michelle); 6 grandchildren - Giovanni Orlando, Dimitri Hani, Alexandra Giselle, Sebastian Vicente, Jonathan Reynaldo, and Vanessa Amanda; and 2 great grandchildren - Kimber Ann and Dora Amanda. Gilbert is also survived by his siblings - Maria Joe (Josie), Fred, Rachel, Ninfa (Jesse) and Oralia as well as numerous nephews and nieces.

Gilbert's musical career spanned 6 decades starting with a local band "The Broken Hearts" where he, his brother Joe Jr., and cousins played at various venues in the San Antonio and surrounding area. He was a multi-talented musician on several musical instruments, a vocalist, arranger and was able to play in several genres of music.

Gilbert was drafted to the military at the age of 19 in 1966 and served as a Private First Class in the Army until 1968 and stationed in Germany. As his discharge from the service neared, he decided to remain in Germany after a 6-month extension and continued his musical career. While in Germany he joined a band "The Sounds of Soul" and toured with the group traveling Europe expressing his love of music. After returning to his homeland, Gilbert played with various Tejano groups including Los Vientos, Pavo Band, Alfonso Ramos, Ruben Ramos, Street People and various other groups. As the constant travel and health issues became prominent, he turned himself to the Lord playing gospel music in the hope of leading others to the Word. Gilbert believed his musical talents were reserved for praise and glory to Christ in thanks for the many blessings he received through Him.

Gilbert Gonzales was also a member of the National Hispanic Music Hall of Fame inducted in February 1991 in El Paso, Texas and the Tejano Roots Music Hall of Fame inducted January 2013 in Alice, Texas.
