Terlingua Fire & EMS is greatly saddened by the loss of Alan Baker. 

Alan was an integral part of TFEMS and was instrumental in the creation of this organization. Alan was a wonderful human being who had a contagiously positive attitude. His passion for this organization and service to the people of South County energized and lifted those around him. Alan's impact was world-changing for this community and he will be sorely missed. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends during this difficult time.

John Alanson Baker died at his home in Terlingua Ranch on August 19, 2022 with his family by his side.  He was 83.   He was proceeded in death by his parents and his lifelong partner of 50 years Al Shipman. 

Alan was born on May 22, 1939, in Austin, Texas to John "Lyle" Alanson Baker and Anna Boone Baker.  He graduated from Baylor University as a Certified Public Accountant.  He went on to work  20 years for Colortime as a lead accountant before he and Al moved to Terlingua Ranch in 1987.  

They loved the Big Bend and their Terlingua Ranch community,  stepping up as dedicated community volunteers at countless events over the next 30 years.  Allan went on to serve on the Terlingua Ranch Board as a member, treasurer, and president off and on from the early nineties to 2004.  In 2005 he took on the position of Executive Director for the newly formed Terlingua Fire and Emergency Medical Services. He served his community in this role till his retirement in December of 2020.  Never one to be idle, he also took on bookkeeping for Big Bend Stone/ Lajitas Stables from 2015 to 2021.   

Alan was loved by all.  Throughout his extraordinary life he never met a stranger.  He had an open-door policy and threw some great parties for his family and friends.   Travel was something he enjoyed,  in particular trips along the eastern seaboard.  For his 75th birthday, Allan traveled with his son and son-in-law to Germany.  Too much fun was had by all!  

Those left to honor and cherish the life of Alan is his son Kenneth Alanson Baker and his partner Ricky Salazar Baker.  He also leaves his grand dogs Sapo and Loki, and his many beloved friends gathered over his lifetime.   

His memorial will be at the Community Center in Study Butte, Terlingua, on the 25th of September from 12:00 to 3:00 pm.  It will be a potluck in honor of all the wonderful parties he hosted. 

Services were entrusted to Alpine Memorial Funeral Home. Online condolences may be left at: www.alpinememorialfuneralhome.com


Shot Time is excited to announce the return of cigars and Delta 8! Come by and put up your business card, event notice, services info, etc. on our newly refreshed community board by the front door! We are accepting applications for part time and on call staff for the upcoming season. Swing by and speak to Jolea between 11am and 2pm Monday-Friday to fill out an application. In other news... we heard from TABC and hope to have our stickers soon! We can't wait to start filling liquor orders from our friends at the local bars and restaurants! We will send out a blast on Facebook, Instagram and the Moon, as well as call to let y'all know when we are ready to rock! Thank you for your continued patience during the transfer of ownership process, we can't wait to serve you!

I have spoken to many of you and know several are on board, but we will need all the volunteers we can get! We need people to help set up and also actors for the haunted house, and for clean up. If you are interested please reach out to one of us. It will be located in the crisis center. This is a wonderful cause and will be so much fun for our locals and tourists alike. So let's come together and scare some people and raise some money

Beloved Momma ‑‑ Aug 22, 1934 - Aug 31, 2022
Virginia Fricker, formerly of Terlingua, Texas, passed away peacefully in Waco, Texas on August 31, 2022.  She was loved by all for her smile, her laugh and her gentle voice.  She had a penchant for rock hunting, a good hike, games, puzzles, comedy, coffee and chocolate candy.  She was an avid reader and a fantastic cook, with many wonderful Terlingua Thanksgiving meals shared with family and local friends.

True to form, Virginia did not wish for a traditional funeral but instead wanted those of us who remain here on earth to celebrate her life with pinatas, stories and her favorite dish, TACOS!  As such, we will have an early Easter celebration, March 2023, in Waco in honor of her personal favorite holiday.  Details will be posted on the funeral home website www.lakeshorefuneralhome.com, where online remembrances (especially funny stories) may be expressed to the family.  Memorial donations may be made to Caritas (any location) or the Big Bend Conservancy.

"Soar high from the heavens above.
When we see a dove, we will think of you and your favorite song La Paloma.
God bless you Mom until we meet again."

 With her celebration - and her wonderful humor - in mind, "You can't make everyone happy!  You're not a taco ... nor are you Virginia Fricker".
