The culvert washed out on County Road 3070 in Titus County Precinct 3.

Wayne Renger, 79, was
born in Hallettsville to Dr.
and Mrs. Harvey Renger Sr.
on Aug. 24,1936. He died
Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2015.
Wayne had an adventurous
spirit and an inquiring mind,
which took him to many
places over the years. In the
process, he acquired many
friends along the way. His
residence at the time of death
was near Mount Pleasant.
Wayne would go to any
length to please the people
he loved. He certainly
agreed with the expression
“Say it with flowers!” Those
he thought deserving
were often besieged with
floral arrangements, often
delivered in person. One of
his rituals was to arrive at
his favorite restaurant, Willie
G’s, which he frequented
on a nightly basis when in
Houston, with armloads of
flowers for all the employees!
The only thing that gave
Wayne more pleasure
than presenting petals was
presenting pets to widows,
friends and children. The
children he loved often found
a puppy or two on their
doorsteps with or without
the parents’ permission!

Over the years Wayne
“collected “quite a few canine
friends whom he dearly
loved, most recently a yellow
lab named Hurricane.
His love of animals
was not limited to dogs
however. He once stopped
traffic on Interstate 10 to
rescue a turtle that was
slowly making its way
across the freeway!
Those who knew him
well were aware of his
special allegiance to Texas
A & M University.
He was preceded in death
by his parents, Dr. and
Mrs. Harvey Renger Sr.;
grandparents, Dr. and Mrs.
Paul Renger; uncles, Dr.
Everett Renger Sr. and Paul
Renger Jr.; and an aunt,
Rosalie Renger Mathews.
He is survived by a
brother, Dr. Harvey
Renger Jr. and wife
Karen; a niece, Jessica
Renger; and a nephew,
Richard Allen Renger. He
leaves to mourn, beloved
aunts, Judith Renger and
Elrose Renger, as well as
numerous cousins- the
playmates of his youth;
their extended families;
and many caring friends.
Servies were held
Saturday, Dec. 12,
2015 at Old Kinkier
Cemetery in the Renger
family plot where he
rests with his great-
grandparents, Heinrich
and Louisa Renger.
Those desiring to make
contributions in Wayne’s
memory may donate to St.
Peter’s Lutheran Church,
Hallettsville, Texas; Texas
A&M University, or Society
for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals (SPCA).
Rusty Wayne Brown, 53,
of Texarkana, died Saturday,
Dec. 12, 2015 at his home.
Mr. Brown was born
Aug. 15,1962, in Mount
Pleasant. He was self-
employed and better known
as the “Burgerman”.
He was preceded
in death by his father,
Ernest Kirkman, Jr.
He is survived by his wife,
Janita Wharton Brown,
of Texarkana; his son and
daughter-in-law, David
Wayne Brown and Natalie of
Tyler; his daughter, Wendy

his brother, Randy Brown
