He passed away August 13, 2014 at the age of 83. During his childhood years the family moved to Iowa, then back to California. Noel graduated in 1949 from Grant Union High School in Sacramento. Answering a call to duty and adventure, he joined the Navy and after serving in the Korean War on a minesweeper received an honorable discharge in 1954. After discharge, he attended Grant Tech College and then on to Sacramento State. While at Sacramento State he played center on the Hornet football team from 1955-56. In the mid 60's Noel was an assistant coach for the semi-pro Sacramento Buccaneers football team. In 1969, he received his Masters degree from the University of Oregon. After graduation, Noel served as an assistant football coach at Highlands High School before going to Rio Linda High School, where he taught phys ed, was an assistant football coach and subsequently head football coach. He later became the Athletic Director for Rio Linda. Noel retired in the mid 90's from teaching, but continued officiating local high school football games for several more years. In 2004, he was admitted into the prestigious La Salle Club Coaches Hall of Fame. Noel savored adventure and anything outdoors. He was young at heart; he was 81 before he stopped bungee jumping and skydiving. He hated to give those things up. Up until a month before his passing, he was still golfing weekly with friends and running three or four miles a day. He also enjoyed painting, with "works of art" filling his entire apartment. Noel had many friends and he cherished each and every one, mostly coaches he worked with over the years and former students. Whenever there was an anniversary, graduation, wedding or other event - no matter the distance or the time required - he felt that if he were invited, he needed to be there. One could always count on him. He could be gruff on the outside, but had an enormous heart on the inside. As his protege Mike Morris put it "He was a man's man." Noel is survived by son Mike McKee, daughter Lisa McKee, son-in-law Ken Nicholson, brother-in-law Bob White and close friend Christi Rose, He will be greatly missed and loved always. A gathering of friends and family will take place at a date to be determined.

Published in Sacramento Bee on March 25, 2012    Johnna Cory Mitchell      Highlands High   1960   1993   Female         Passed away in 1993   Richard Crane       Highlands High   1960   1997   Male         Passed away in 1997   Ronald Ron Crawford       Highlands High   1960      Male         DOD: ?   Sheila Creager Boltz      Sacramento CA Highlands High   1960   2013   Female      Ron Creager of San Leandro   Sheila Boltz, a social worker and trailblazer in the psychiatric community who advocated dignity and respect for people with mental illness, died March 15 of heart and lung disease, her family said. She was 70. As a therapist, teacher, administrator and activist, Ms. Boltz was an ardent proponent of voluntary alternatives to forced psychiatric hospitalizations. She pioneered a social rehabilitation model in Sacramento that emphasizes teaching basic life skills – such as how to make decisions or how to handle conflict successfully – to help formerly institutionalized people regain a place in society. In 1976, she opened a board-and-care home for severe psychiatric patients called Midtown Manor that became Turning Point, a leading regional provider of mental health therapy, housing and job services. With fewer than three staff workers to serve 43 clients, she introduced the use of patients in recovery as peer counselors to model appropriate behavior and inspire others in need. "She taught me how to keep a calm head and a big heart," Turning Point chief executive officer John Buck said. Ms. Boltz went on to help homeless people and jail inmates receive psychiatric services as a Sacramento County program coordinator. She was on the board of Consumers Self Help, which runs wellness centers and the Office of Patients' Rights for Sacramento and Yolo counties. She developed a program at Human Resources Consultants to provide social rehabilitation and medication support services for clients. "Sheila's main focus in all of her work was honoring the dignity of mental health consumers," said Dave Hosseini, retired executive director of Consumers Self Help. "She was a real advocate for human rights in many ways." Born in 1942 in Los Angeles, Sheila Ann Creager moved with her family to Citrus Heights and graduated from Highlands High School. She earned a master's degree in social work from California State University, Sacramento, and was a doctoral candidate at the California School of Professional Psychology. She began working in 1970 as a psychiatric social worker at Sutter Memorial Hospital and taught mental health courses in the Los Rios Community College District. Until recently, she provided training statewide on hiring mental health clients. She married Ron Boltz, who retired as a professor of social work at CSUS. They raised two children and remained close after their marriage ended in divorce. "If anybody was born to be a social worker, it was her," her former husband said. "All of her activities were just trying to make a better society and a better life for everyone." Ms. Boltz was a woman of passionate causes and quirky charm. She was an opera fan who spent many nights at the San Francisco Opera and many hours at home listening to mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli. She was a longtime smoker who wore her long hair in a signature braid and was "a beatnik at heart," her daughter Jennifer said. She watched liberal commentator Rachel Maddow on TV every night and refused to shop at a grocery chain for years after the United Farm Workers ended its grape boycott. She campaigned against the death penalty and wrote "Bye Bye Lungren," a song opposing former Republican Rep. Dan Lungren, which she recorded with a group of seniors for YouTube. "She had numbers for Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer on her phone," her daughter said. "She had the White House on speed dial."

He joined older brother Tommy Dowe and four years later a sister, Donna Sue, arrived. The only life he knew was small town life and farming. Then right in the midst of his teenage years, just when he thought he knew everything and had the world by the tail his parents decided to move. The animals were sold, the farm was sold, the truck was packed and off they went to a totally different life– in Sacramento, California. He couldn’t go back; the only way was forward. There were new friends, a new school, a new church and a girl. THE girl, it turns out. Jack married Jeannette Suzanne LeRoy on Sept. 20, 1963. They became the proud parents of Christopher Douglas, Joseph Anthony and Jeremiah Tobias. Older brother Tommy and his family moved to Southern California to find work and soon Jack and his family followed. Soon after that parents Carl and Esta joined them. Life in the big city was OK for 10 years or so but after a vacation to Oregon, country life again beckoned. First Jack, Sue and the boys moved to Silverton, Oregon. They were followed by Tommy and family and a few years later by Carl and Esta. Donna, now married, came a few years after that. Farming was now only an avocation. Jack was a plumber, a roughneck with an oil company, a truck driver before retiring. Retirement brought more change and an undiscovered ability to write humorous short stories. Oldest son Doug bought land north of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho and Jack and Sue moved one more time. Jack passed away on March 15, 2019 in his home in Athol, Idaho. There will be a celebration of Jack’s life on Tuesday, April 7 at 2 p.m. at the Silvertowne Commons Building, 1115 Mill St., Silverton.   David Kirk       Highlands High   1961   1995   Male         Passed away 3-25-95   Fred Lacert       Highlands High   1961   1990   Male         Passed away 10-20-90   Roy Long       Highlands High   1961   1998   Male         Passed away 10-24-1998   William Bill Mackey       Highlands High   1961   1992   Male         Passed away in 8-10-1992   Michael Mike Malone       Highlands High   1961   2007   Male         Passed away 7-29-2007   Janett Mann       Highlands High   1961   1971   Female         Passed away 4-24-71   Jerald Martin       Highlands High   1961      Male         DOD: ?   Gerald McDaniel       Highlands High   1961   1990   Male         Passed away 4-8-1990   Raymond McWhirter       Highlands High   1961      Male            Richard Mendonca       Highlands High   1961   2003   Male         Passed away 6-30-2003   Russell G Merriam       Highlands High   1961   1970   Male         Passed away 1-8-1970   Russell Edward Metzger       Highlands High   1961   1966   Male         Died in Quang Ngai, Vietnam 6-4-66    Gary Miller       Highlands High   1961   2005   Male         Passed away in 2005   Pamela Moody       Highlands High   1961   1998   Female         Passed away 3-10-1998   Anthony Tony J Moreno       Highlands High   1961   1982   Male         Passed away in 10-29-1982   James Aloysius Mulcahy Jr       Highlands High   1961   2007   Male         Passed away 3-23-2007   Thomas Tom Murphy       Highlands High   1961      Male         DOD: ?   Valerie Anne Murrow Gieschen      Wichita KS Highlands High   1961   1978   Female      sister Denny & brother Richard Murrow   I know this is a long time in getting you this information, but Valerie died on August 2, 1978 in Wichita, Ks.

Michael "Mick" Corcoran, 71yo, Highlands High graduate 1962. Mick worked at McClellan in experimental aircraft parts and managed Alpha Sportcycles. I first met Mick and his wife, Mary (Murphy) Highlands High 1964, while racing motorcycles at Cycleland Raceway in Chico,Ca. While I was on the track making faster riders look good, Mick went on to become Short Track AMA National Champion in 1968. At Cycleland he was... called a "Scratchman", an honor only earned by a few people, it meant that he started on the 60 yard line, and with that handicap, still took 1st place at the end of the expert main event. One fast and smooth rider. Mick was a great builder and fabricator, going on to build custom vans, hot rods and pickups. Over the years, neither of us lost the interest we had in flattrack motorcycle racing, as we traveled to any race, swap meet or show that we could drive to. Mick helped me alot in my shop, sometimes taking rusty parts home, bringing them back the next day looking new. At times fabricating parts for me that I didn`t have the tools to build. One of his last projects was a Yamaha 650 Streetracker that won 1st place in that division at the Classic Japanese Motorcycle Club`s Auburn Show, he`s sitting on the bike in this photo in my driveway. Mick`s kids share his love of motorcycles. Son, Jeff made his Dad proud by racing a Yamaha TT 500 that they built, last summer at Cal Expo`s Vintage Sacramento Mile.

Last Monday I received an e-mail from Bill Vitt which said, in part, “…the cancer went wild and I may not be alive by tomorrow.” On Friday I received an e-mail from his business partner who informed me “with deepest regrets” of Bill’s death on Tuesday. Bill was truly a unique individual who not only marched to the beat of a different drummer but who also played the drum as well. I’m sure you all remember Bill’s rock ‘n roll band in high school. In the mid-60s, Bill moved to Los Angeles, where he soon became in demand as a studio musician known for his skills on the drums and keyboard. At the end of the decade, he returned to San Francisco, where he performed and recorded with Jerry Garcia, Merl Saunders, and Tom Fogerty. Bill also performed and/or recorded with the Sons of Champlin, Pee Wee Ellis, Sonny & Cher, Charlie Musselwhite, the Coasters, and James Cotton. In the ‘80s, Bill began a new career in the wine industry. I remember spending weekends at his home in the center of acres of vineyards near Healdsburg, CA. His living room was converted into a recording studio with a full array of music instruments hanging on the walls and a piano, organ, a sound synthesizer and an electric keyboard in the center of the room. He continued to be available as a backup drummer and keyboardist to some of the biggest bands in the industry. At one point he was a co-owner in the Soda Rock Winery in the Alexander Valley. For the past two decades or so, he was a wine broker dealing with clients from around the world. Bill, you and I were friends since we were 13 years old and neighbors in Foothill Farms. I always admired you and your passion in pursuing your musical career. Cheers, my friend. I have one remaining bottle of your Soda Rock wine. Tonight I’m opening the bottle and toasting your memory. RIP, my friend.   Bill Waseca       Highlands High   1962      Male            Dana Ruth Welliver Bice      Highlands High   1962   2016   Female         DOD: July 1, 2016   Margery Welsh Stover      Highlands High   1962   2018   Female      John F Rodgers '82 - brother   RIP 2018 Jan 30 Per John F Rodgers: My sister Marge Welsh Stover Class of '62 passed away last night, January 30, 2018.

Per his friend and fellow classmate Mike Porter, "they did not know one another though, until Carmen and Charlene moved up to Oregon and became neighbors. It was at a back to school night in the 70’s at the local elementary school that we looked at each other…I recognized that New York accent…said where do I know you from…then had a good laugh when we figured out where and why. His oldest boy, Chad, and my youngest were classmates. We coached Little League together and became friends that way. Carmen was a jock (drafted by the Mets) and I was a nerd who worked after school with my paper route to pay for my flying lessons in those HHS days!" "He also shared stories about when he was drafted by the Mets and got their “bonus” payment. He bought a Porsche but was still selling pots and pans to all the gals he went to high school with. Shirlene Lansdon told me that some of those gals used those pots and pans for years! Heck, maybe they still are! In these last few weeks we spent some good visits together over a cup of coffee." "Carmen was a first class guy. He displayed real courage in the face of his cancer. He’d been telling me that when the transfusions for his leukemia stopped working then it was going to be over for him…”I’m living on borrowed time” he would tell me. On Dec. 24th he texted me “Merry Christmas to you and your family”…I responded saying I’d call him after our company left…he said nothing about how he was doing and died a week later on the 31st with his wife and sons by his side."   Christine Feldmann       Highlands High   1963   2007   Female         Passed away 2-18-2007   Carolyn Flanery       Rio Linda High   1963      Female            Linda Lou Giles Hadid      Highlands High   1963   2017   Female         DOD: December 16, 2017   Jann Elizabeth Graham Ward      Highlands High   1963   2018   Female         DOD: October 28, 2018   James Hall       Rio Linda High   1963      Male            Raymond Hay       Sacramento CA Highlands High   1963   2004   Male      Carol Hay '62, Pamela Hay '65, Joan & Judy Hay '70   Born in Sacramento on Oct. 26, 1943.

He was mischievous, a prankster and someone who loved to share good times with friends. Wherever he lived, he made good friends. As the son of a career Air Force officer, he lived half his childhood in foreign countries; three years in Germany and three years in Japan. In high school, he was the Senior Class President for the Class of 1963. He was also a 3-year varsity letterman on the swim team. But most of all, Dave loved music. Trained as a classical pianist, he soon discovered that he had an ear for popular music. He could hear a song on the radio and then play the tune on the piano. He loved to play complex syncopated rhythms and he was a skilled bongo player and drummer, playing snare drums in the high school marching band. While a junior in high school, he and several friends formed "The Nomads" – a folk band that played at the California State Fair and had gigs at the Purple Onion in San Francisco. His closest friends, Chuck and Kathy, were members of "The Nomads" and its successor, "The Picardy III". After two years at American River College in Sacramento, California, Dave was drafted into the US Army. He qualified for officer's candidate school and completed Infantry OCS as a member of the 55th Company at Fort Benning, Georgia. He received his commission as a second lieutenant in December 1966. He was assigned for six months to the Combat Experimental Development Command at Fort Ord, California. On May 31, 1967, Dave arrived in Vietnam and began serving as a platoon leader with Company A, 4th/47th in the 9th Infantry Division. Three weeks later on June 19, 1967, his company was decimated in an ambush. Dave was the only Platoon Leader in his unit to survive the ambush. Severely wounded, he was evacuated to a hospital in Japan where he recovered from his injuries. Upon his return to the 4th/47th Infantry Battalion, he was assigned to desk duty as the Battalion Transportation Officer. He loved the job, as he used his leisure time to play the piano and the drums in the Soldiers' Club. The club director called him her "teeny-bopper lieutenant". His goal was to be reassigned to the Armed Forces Network radio station in Saigon. He didn't write many letters home as he did not want our parents to worry. When informed by the Battalion Commander that he would return to Company A, however, he wrote our parents a letter, saying that only 6 soldiers remained of the original 36 members in his platoon. He said not to worry—"lightning doesn't strike thrice in the same spot..." It did. He was buried with full military honors in the Golden Gate National Cemetery, just south of San Francisco. He is loved and will always be remembered by his many friends, his mother and father, his brother, his two sisters and his seven cousins. We all know that somewhere Dave is playing the bongos with a heavenly chorus! Company A, 4th/47th lost 32 brave soldiers in our June 19th Battle near Ap Bac Village in the Mekong Delta. 2nd Lt. Dave Williams was the only platoon leader in Alpha Company to survive. The three day battle left 250 Viet Cong dead and resulted in 47 U.S. soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Letter to Steve Williams from Robert Bischoff - October 3, 2010 Dear Steve, I just received my Fall Issue of "River Currents" from the Mobile Riverine Force Association and saw your notes regarding your brother David. I was not his C.O. at the time of his death, but I was his best friend and confidant. I arrived in-country in July of 1967 and was C.O. of Headquarters Company. Dave and I became buddies because we were not in the field when the troops were (after Dave returned from the hospital from his wounds of June 19th he was given an administrative assignment). We took coffee breaks together every day and I got to know him as a friend. He talked a lot about his family and friends in Sausalito, California. Dave also talked a lot about the June 19th Battle and the losses that Alpha Company suffered. I became commander of Alpha Company in late January of 1968. I recall that all of Alpha's Platoon Leaders were killed except Dave who was wounded and that Alpha lost a total of 32 soldiers that day. In 1969 I visited our Battalion Chaplain, Bernie Windmiller who was with the troops on June 19th; his stories were beyond description. When Dave was told that he was going back to the field as a rifle platoon leader, he told me that he knew that he was not going to make it. I discussed this with him and told him that he was going to be alright, but he didn't unpack his gear when he left HHC to go back to Alpha Company. I am not a religious person and I do not believe in fate, but Dave had that premonition. After what he went through on the 19th of June I guess he was certain that he could not survive another battle. When Dave went to the field on his first mission in September, I was assistant S3 or the S3 Air. Those were quiet times, very little activity. The troops worked off the boats and would stay out two or three days. The command and support group would remain on command and control boats (CCB's) and would monitor the troop progress/activities. The mission had ended and the troops were on the way to the pick up point. I received word that there was a casualty and a medevac was required. Casualties were identified by roster number rather than name and rank. When the roster number was verified, it was not David. Shortly after, another call corrected the number and it was David. This hit me like a ton of bricks. They had passed through an open area and a VC popped out of a spider hole and fired one shot hitting David in the back of the head. That was the only shot fired during the entire mission. While I commanded Alpha Company from late January until mid July 1968, we lost 23 killed and 122 wounded. Each and every one of those casualties have had an everlasting effect, but none affected me more than the loss of David. We were friends and he was one of the neatest, coolest guys I have ever known. To this day, he crosses my mind constantly. I hope that this helps and is not too brunt. I may have some pictures of Dave and I, but I don't know where they are right now. We just moved from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida to the hills of North Georgia. I will stay in touch... Letter to Steve Williams from Dave Nelson – December 12, 2010 Dear Steve: I want you to know I was there the day your dear Brother David was shot and killed. David was my platoon leader that day and I was one of his grunts. I can't say I personally knew David well, as I was assigned to A Company on the 20th of June 1967, one day after the fierce battle on the 19th. I can say, however, we had all good officers through my tour, David being one of them! I was not too far from your brother when he was hit, and I can assure you the Viet Cong that fired the round, soon went to where dead gooks go. The VC snipers seemed to know who the leaders were and rarely missed. I can recall at least 3 platoon leaders, all shot in the head when I was there, probably because they were shadowed by a radio operator with a tall antenna. Medics, too, were vulnerable. Our officers—to a man—were concerned about their troops and did everything they could to protect their safety! For this, the men all respected them and did their very best to protect them, too! But, as is said, War is Hell… and some things impossible to control. Such as was David's case. On January 25, 1968, I was injured with shrapnel myself, suffering a severe head wound and spending 8 months in the hospital. As a result of this injury, my memory is not as sharp as it could be, but I want you to know your brother died facing the enemy like a real man. I am truly proud to have served with David! You have my deepest sympathy.

Alex graduated from Highlands High School in 1967 where he was a member of the golf team and marching band. He was an honor student at California State University, Stanislaus where he received his B.S. degree and attended the University of Portland in the state of Oregon for his masters. While in college in Portland he was employed part-time by the city to manage the upgrading and retrofitting of the city's reclamation centers and learned the art of welding. Having a love for the sea, he sought employment with Dellingham International as a welder in the Portland shipyards and within a year set sail on his first voyage as the ship's chief welder. On one of several voyages to Alaska he decided to change careers and purchased a fishing vessel to fish for king crab in the Bering Sea. Unfortunately, after only a few fishing trips the vessel sank as Alex and his crew were being rescued at sea. After this life threatening event, he was glad to be on land and alive, but was now out of work. It was then that he applied to the United States Merchant Marines and was accepted. He worked his way through the ranks to Captain with primary responsibilities in power plant management. Several of Alex's innovations were adopted by the Merchant Marines for command-wide use and are still employed today. He retired from the Merchant Marines in the 1990's. Having traveled the world, he had many wonderful friends on almost every continent. It was while visiting friends that he decided to move to New Zealand's North Island. He bought and completely refurbished a home where he spent his days on the hilltop overlooking Doubtless Bay. Alex was a native Texan, resident of California, adopted Kiwi, and a citizen of the World who will be lovingly remembered. He is survived by his wife, Denise; siblings, Kay Carlile (Raymond), Maria Totora (Russell), Will Stothart (Virginia); and many cousins, nieces and nephews.

She left behind her husband Tom (they were married for 45 years), her daughters Lisa and Jacqui, and her son Robert. She was so proud of her six grandkids - they meant the world to her. If you'd told me two weeks ago that I'd be writing this message, I would've called you crazy! She had been fighting pneumonia for several weeks, but we thought she'd recover, like always. She wasn't getting any better and was rushed to the hospital last Friday. She couldn't fight any more. Her lungs were severely compromised. Ultimately, she made the decision to give up the fight and be removed from oxygen. Many of my childhood friends knew Deb well and she cared very much about you. She babysat some of you, sewed our cheerleading uniforms, and helped cart our butts around when we were in elementary and junior high school. She taught me how to cook and sew, but to her annoyance, she could never seem to teach me to keep my thoughts to myself (like she did so well). I'm blessed to have had the opportunity to say goodbye to her. Our last words to each other were, "I love you." I know she's in a better place and I'm glad she was able to make the ultimate decision. However, my heart aches for those she left behind. She leaves a huge hole that will never be filled. Hug your loved ones while you can. Life is precious.   Roy Edward Pitts       Highlands High   1970   1969   Male      Virginia Pitts 67   Roy Edward Pitts Private First Class PERSONAL DATA Home of Record: North Highlands, California Date of birth: Saturday, 08/12/1950 MILITARY DATA Service: Marine Corps (Regular) Grade at loss: E2 Rank: Private First Class ID No: 2425604 MOS: 0311 Rifleman LenSvc: Less than one year Unit: G CO, 2ND BN, 9TH MARINES, 3RD MARDIV CASUALTY DATA Start Tour: Wednesday, 12/18/1968 Cas Date: Monday, 02/17/1969 Age at Loss: 18 Remains: Body recovered Location: Quang Tri, South Vietnam Type: Hostile, died outright Reason: Gun or small arms fire - Ground casualty ON THE WALL Panel 32W Line 050 Navy Cross Awarded posthumously for actions during the Vietnam War The President of the United States of America takes pride in presenting the Navy Cross (Posthumously) to Private First Class Roy Edward Pitts (MCSN: 2425604), United States Marine Corps, for extraordinary heroism while serving as a Grenadier with Company G, Second Battalion, Ninth Marines, THIRD Marine Division (Reinforced), Fleet Marine Force, in connection with combat operations against the enemy in the Republic of Vietnam. On 17 February 1969, Company G was conducting a reconnaissance in force twenty-five miles southeast of the Vandegrift Combat Base in Quang Tri Province when the lead platoon came under an intense volume of automatic weapons fire from a large hostile force well entrenched in a camouflaged bunker complex. Assigned to retrieve a Marine who was mortally wounded during the initial moments of the fire fight, Private First Class Pitt's point man maneuvered toward the fallen Marine, who was painfully wounded by enemy automatic weapons fire. After several attempts to aid the two Marines failed, Private First Class Pitts, reacting instantly and with complete disregard for his own safety, fearlessly left his covered position and commenced crawling across twenty meters of fire-swept terrain toward his wounded comrades. Reaching the critically injured point man and observing that he was bleeding profusely, Private First Class Pitts immediately administered emergency first aid to his companion. After skillfully applying a battle dressing to temporarily stop the bleeding, he began to drag the man toward a relatively safe area, offering him encouragement while simultaneously directing the covering fire of his squad. After pulling the Marine away from the area of heaviest contact, Private First Class Pitts was mortally wounded by enemy small-arms fire. His heroic and bold efforts inspired all who observed him and saved the life of his fellow Marine.

So many people have asked what they can do, can we start a go Fund Me Account, Etc. I have a suggestion that I think Rod would love: Start following a local company called HauteBird of Sacramento on Facebook and catch some of their Pop Up Events around town. We saw them on Good Day, they make awesome Chicken and Cone Waffles, have pop up events around town ( we had a night life driving downtown on Saturday nights to hang out with young people and eat some bomb food), and best of all, the company devotes money and training doing incredible work getting women and children off the streets. I think that Rod would love for his friends to support this local group, and I'm certain he would have loved turning some of you on to the Chicken( 6 different flavors!). Bon appetit! Per Robin Louise Clarkson: I will never, ever, forget you Charles Mabry. From the moment we met at Faith Alive Christian Church you became my best friend, my confidant, my spiritual leader to Christ! I could go on and on about the greatness of your 💓 and yet in the end this very thing that took you too heaven. It is the memories of church, feeding the homeless, our outreaches to the lost and broken, our long talks over coffee and our love for Christ that brought us together.

Gray announces his passing on Monday, September 24, 2018. Born to Oliver and Blanche Gray December 21, 1953 in Marysville, CA. Survived by his two sons, Oliver and Jesse Gray and his two grandsons, Hagan and Easton Gray. Although David had only two sons, he also took into his home his nephew, Robert Hogan and two nieces, Rachell and Tabitha Hogan. David was a self-taught mechanic who went through cars like he changed his underwear. David’s favorite hobby was building engines and repairing cars. He was a walking mechanical instruction manual. He worked for Lucky’s Distribution warehouse in Vacaville, CA for 30 years. Although very stubborn at times David was very sentimental, he held on to years of photos, home videos, classwork and even toys from his children, family, & friends and of course his many cars. He loved his kids more than anything else in this world and would do anything for them. David was notorious for his un-announced visits to your home (especially around dinnertime) and would say he was “just in the neighborhood”, He would call you and talk with you till the phones dies. He loved texting you in the middle of the night to tell you his random thoughts to let you know there was recall on items that might affect his grandkids. A memorial service for David was held Friday October 5, 2018 at 4pm in the afternoon at the American Legion Post 521, 6700 8th Street Rio Linda CA 95673.   Afton L Harrington Nix      Roseville CA Highlands High   1973   2015   Female         Paul and I went to Scotland in April and have lots of photos of Scotland and photos of The Clan Estate that Paul's mother hails from. We had a fabulous visit with a geneologist at the Inverness Library who told us the entire history of Clan MacGillavry from inception through 1965. What a diamond of a find and in the library. Being an academic sort of person and having left the map to Dunlicity at home, I told Paul we are not going to a travel agent, we're going to the library. When we were greated and without an appointment granted entrance for an hour and a half with an expert at no charge, I was close to cloud 9. I would love to share all of our stories with all of you, but I am short on time and my keyboard skills are slow. So it will take a while to get all the info to the rest of you Scots, unless of course someone wants to volunteer to assist us with the photos and the stories.

Born on July 25th 1963, Billy took his first breaths of air right here in North Highlands at McClellan AFB. His parents, Morton & Amanda Geivett, came to North Highlands in 1958. They moved into their home on Graylock Lane and Mrs. Geivett still lives there to present date. Billy's dad was a Navy Man and his mother was a homemaker. Billy was the sixth child of the Geivett's seven children; all of which graduated from Highlands High. There is Margie (Class of 1965), Patricia (Class of 1968), Laura (Class of 1969), Geri (Class of 1971), Mort (Class of 1976), Billy (Class of 1981), and James "Jimbo" (Class of 1983). The Geivetts spent three decades at Highlands High. Lynne Mann, alumni and best friends with Patricia, says, "You at least have to know one Geivett." In fact, three of the Geivetts are in education. Mort was a High School teacher and now a Superintendent, James is currently a teacher at Highlands, and Patricia was a teacher at Rio Linda and Highlands and was also a Lawyer for the district. Billy also taught at Long Beach State for a time. Billy credits his upbringing and being raised in North Highlands for much of his success. When asked where he is from, he doesn't hesitate to say,"North Highlands!" For Billy, growing up in North Highlands was one of the best things that could have happened to him. He had everything at his finger tips. The Air Force Base was close to schools and parks and all of his childhood friends lived right on his street. According to Billy, growing up in North Highlands back then was like no other place. Graylock Lane had so many families living on it's block. If you lived on Graylock, it wasn't hard to make friends and it didn't hurt to have six siblings. Billy recalls, "Back then that's all you did was played in the streets and you felt safe. Families would lookout for one another." Billy remembers that there were kids like Bobby Weston and Theresa Ortiz and families like the Andersons, Bells, Browns, Hawthrones, Lawtons, and the Millers to name a few, that were just on his side of the block. With all those kids on the block, Billy was right there in the mix. Playing with kids his age but also playing with older ones probably gave him an advantage and a competitive nature. Billy recalls playing catch with a baseball at an early age of about four or five with one of the Miller kids. He said he wanted to learn so badly how to catch that he would get frustrated when he would drop the ball and would cry. He said he still cries when he drops the ball. (LOL) Billy would also tag along and practice with other teams just to get the practice in and they would let him because he was good. Finally when he was eight, he was old enough to play and that's when he started his baseball career as a Little Leaguer. You might notice that Billy wore #6 most of his baseball career...due to the fact that his all time favorite player was #6 SAL BANDO of the Oakland A's. In Billy's teenage years, he excelled in baseball where he dominated in Larchmont Little League and at Campus Verdes Jr High. High School and Big League were no different. Billy won championships on some great Larchmont Big League teams. Playing baseball in Highlands High, coaches soon saw his potential and moved him to varsity his Sophomore year. Billy was a three year varsity starter for Highlands. Billy was at times one of the top hitters in the league. Billy credits a lot of his coaches along the way for his success. There was Coach Alan Oshier, Coach Stanley, Coach Windley, Coach "Chunky" Harris, Coach Hal Steward, and Coach Bob HOF Rodness. During his time at Highlands, Billy met the love of his life, Bonnie Cooper. Bonnie was a Junior and Billy was in his Senior year. The story goes Billy didn't want any distractions when he was playing baseball. So Billy was quick to notice this beautiful young lady volunteering to be a scorekeeper at the games sitting on the bench and he actually complained to his coach that he didn't want her on the bench because she was a distraction. Billy lost that battle!! Soon after they attended some "twirp week" functions...and the rest is history. Billy and Bonnie fell in love and were married in 1988 and have two children, Rachel (age 21) and Sam (age19). Billy was catching the eye of baseball scouts in High School after graduating in 1981. He selected Sacramento City College to start his baseball career under the coaching of Jerry Weinstein a highly respected coach in baseball. During his time at Sac City, Billy was drafted by the Los Angles Dodgers in the 7th round in 1982, and Chicago White Sox drafted him the 5th round in 1983. He turned them both down because he wanted to finish his education. Then Billy moved onto the University of Santa Barbara where they offered him a unprecedented full ride scholarship to join their campus and baseball team after a lot of offers from other big schools. This was the first time, Coach Ferrer of UCSB, ever offered a player a full ride, but that decision proved to be a tremendous success. While attending UCSB, Billy was making an impact on his baseball career as a Gaucho, a two time Big West first team honoree. He was third team ALL AMERICAN in 1985, coming through with a senior season that remains one of the greatest seasons that a Gaucho has ever had. Geivett hit a school-record .412 that year, and set new records for at-bats (243), hits (100), runs (74), triples (8), and total bases (146). Geivett reached base in over 60 percent of his at-bats that season. In Billy's Junior year at UCSB the Chicago Cubs drafted him in the 11th round in 1984. He once again declined all offers and decided education was more important to him at the time. Soon after Billy completed his education, Geivett finally signed on the dotted line with the California Angels in 1985, and started the long process towards the big leagues. He worked his way up to AA, but in 1988 his playing career ended when he suffered a knee injury while running out a ground ball. In 1988, Billy started his second career in baseball behind the scenes. With his education and baseball background Billy took advantage of the fact that his spot at third base always positioned him next to the opposing head coach in the third base coach’s box. Geivett spent years soaking in knowledge and the intricacies of the game. He would be so inquisitive about all the aspects of coaching and used it to his advantage. He started his coaching career at Loyola Marymount University in 1989 and at Long Beach State in 1990. Not stopping there and moving on up Billy broke into the majors as a scout with the Yankees in 1991-1993. From there he moved on to Montreal as Director of Player Development from 1994-1996. He then became a Special Assistant to the GM for the expansion Devil Rays from 1996-1998. Longing for a return to California, Geivett took a job with the Dodgers and worked his way up to Assistant General Manager and worked under Tommy Lasorda HOF Manager from 1998-2000. In 2000 the Colorado Rockies hired him as the Senior VP of Major League Operations, where he was until 2014. During his 28 year career in professional baseball as a player, scout and front office executive, Billy never shied away from helping people to land jobs. The whole time he was thinking, "At some point I have to write a book." That's what Billy decided to do...after the Rockies he spent time developing a sports website and started writing his book. Released in 2017 titled, Do You Want To Work In Baseball. It was a year and a half project and it was truly a family affair with his brother Mort, sister Patty, and brother-in-law Randy Hughes (Highlands alumni-Class of 71) all helping him along away. His book is getting great reviews and he also appeared on TV on the show (HOT STOVE) on the MLB Channel. First copy of his book went to his mom Amanda. ( I WILL ATTACH A LINK TO HIS BOOK ) for baseball lovers, those who are looking for a job in baseball and mostly to support a Highlands Alumni. It's a must read. https://www.facebook.com/Insidebaseballoperations/ Mr. William Paige Geivett (aka: Billy) has never forgotten his roots in North Highlands. He stays in touch with long time neighborhood friends, players he played with along the way and his Alumni friends from Highlands. He often visits his hometown meeting up with friends, playing golf, and reminiscing. He even attended one of our Lou's gatherings. Billy and Bonnie currently live in Vail, Arizona and are raising their two children. As an Alumni writing this story, I can tell you I am very proud of Billy and his accomplishments in life. From a Hometown Boy from Graylock Lane to a Baseball Executive and now an Author from North Highlands I hope you're as proud of him as I am. Can't wait to see the next chapter in Billy's life.

Sacramento County sheriff's allege that 44-year-old Robert Dean Carrillo fatally shot his 34-year-old sister, Dolores Lucero Tornel, before turning the gun on himself. Sheriff's spokesman Deputy Jason Ramos said Carrillo had been staying at his sister's San Ardo Way home because he was down on his luck. Tornel was apparently returning the favor, as she had stayed with Carrillo sometime in the past when she had fallen on hard times, Ramos said. But on Saturday evening, as family and friends were celebrating the 11th birthday of Tornel's son, Tornel and her older brother got into an argument. At one point, Ramos said, Tornel told Carrillo he had to move out, and the argument escalated. Carrillo ultimately pulled out a handgun and shot his sister in the garage, where he had set up a makeshift bedroom, Ramos said. Carrillo then went inside the home and threatened those gathered there that he would shoot them if they didn't leave, Ramos said. When they fled the home, he returned to the garage, lay down on a bed and shot himself, Ramos said. Nobody else was injured    SaMella B.

A Celebration of Rhonda’s life will be held at 3:00 PM, on Thursday, July 12, 2018 at Rost Funeral Home, McMurtrey Chapel, in Mountain Home. Rhonda came into the world and immediately brought smiles to everyone. She was an unexpected blessing which completed the family. She felt the act of saying the words, “I’m Sorry” provided the stepping stones to moving past the hurt and made everything better. Rhonda was upfront of her past struggles with addiction as they help define who she was as a person. Her philosophy was, I’m not a bad person but I have made bad decisions in the past and from those decisions I have been blessed with the ability to help others with their struggles. After years as a single mother to two children and working two jobs, in 2014 Rhonda earned her Bachelors of Science degree from Boise State University and become a Licensed Social Worker. In August 2018, Rhonda is being awarded her Master’s degree, posthumously, from Walden University. Rhonda’s work at Horizon Home Health & Hospice and Aspiring Changes and impacted lives across Idaho and beyond in ways too numerous to list. Rhonda had a very active life with the church, The Rock, and was passionate about sharing her relationship with Jesus Christ. She was a Department Leader for the churches program “Tremors” which was a perfect blend her love of coffee and Jesus. Rhonda served the church by participating in Kid stuff and in the annual Christmas Choir which utilized her flair for drama and artistic abilities. As active of a life as Rhonda lived, her true motivation and drive for life was her family. There were several days in which she would scoop her kids and escape to her happy place, the lake. She always loved sharing the joys of; fishing, swimming and socializing and last but certainly not least, the joys of cuddling up with a good book. Every able moment she would grab a good book and lose herself to the world of reading, a passion which she strived to pass on to her kids and was met with great resistance by her daughter. Rhonda is survived by; her children Alanna Rea Lastar and Joshua William Lastar of Mountain Home, her biological child Camielle Bartos of Sacramento, California, her father John Lastar of Winston, Oregon, mother Rosalyn Bryan, of Roseville, California, her siblings Frederick Lastar, of Peoria, Arizona, Catherine Bartos, of Roseville, California, and Noel Schafer, of Mountain Home. Rhonda being the loving person she was, worked diligently to maintain her relationship with her extended family; Joseph, Amber, Daniel, Makayla, Noah, Natalyn, Benjamin, Connor, Emmett. Some of her most cherished relationships she had was with her niece, Ariel McCluskey, who she played the role of a big sister, as well as the relationship she had with her brother in-law, Edward Schafer, who was her advocated and provided support and guidance all the while holding her accountable.

Per Leia: “…We have been friends since We were 10. She has always been here through everything with me. Every stupid boy...all 3 of my kids...worked on every car I've owned...We were roommates...So many nights we layed talking and laughing about life and when we get old. One of our last conversations we had we spoke about losing someone and she told me "I don't know what I'd do if I lost you, Leia" I NEVER thought in a million years I'd be here without her. Mo, I don't know what to do without you. My heart is broken. She is my sister, my Family.” Rest in Peace Monica.   Amy Rebecca Williams       North Highlands CA Highlands High   1996   2010   Female      Bill & Bobbie Williams (parents)   WILLIAMS, Amy Rebecca Oct. 1, 1978 to Jun 24, 2010 Our Amy passed away in her sleep unexpectedly, and too young for our sad hearts.

The crash happened about 10:50 p.m. on northbound Watt Avenue, near Poplar Boulevard. Kilpatrick, who was wearing dark clothes and no helmet, was first hit by an unknown driver who left the scene. A second driver, not seeing Kilpatrick’s body on the roadway, hit him and stopped to call 911, according to the CHP. Daulton Kilpatrick just got a new bike and was an avid rider. He was close with his family, including his two sisters and a step-brother. "Daulton was just a loving, caring, warm person," Victoria Kilpatrick said. "He loved everyone around him. He would literally give you the shirt off his back."   Back All Pages: 1
