William Edward Malcolm MacRoberts died at his home in Terlingua, Texas on August 6th, 2023. Malcolm was born on November 22nd, 1960, in Shreveport, Louisiana to Nancy and Peter MacRoberts. As a boy, Malcolm would spend hours lying in a field behind his house watching planes flying overhead and daydreaming about the skies. As a teenager he had his pilot’s license before he learned to drive a car.  He graduated from Sharpstown High School in 1978 and attended Sul Ross State University for two years until he decided “enough school” and left to pursue a more adventurous path.  Malcolm was meticulous, stubborn, strong willed, big hearted, and very, very funny – all personality traits that suited his life of river guiding, firefighting, and EMT-ing.  In his work, Malcolm touched multiple lives, guiding folks through rapids, jumping out of helicopters to fight fires, and delivering babies in the back of ambulances.  In his down time, Malcolm was always quick to tell a terrible joke and leave his audience groaning.  He will be remembered with a big smile.  Malcolm was preceded in death by his father, Peter MacRoberts, and his younger brother, Conrad.  He is survived by his mother, Nancy, many cousins, and many friends.  Malcolm’s Houston family will have a memorial Mass for him at a later date, and his Terlingua family will celebrate his life later this year. 

Malcolm was a kind man and secretively generous. In lieu of flowers, we ask for donations in his name to your favorite charity; and please spare a thought and prayer for his family who will miss him so very very much.

 

In loving memory of Gail Rudder Turner. Please join the family in a celebration of life that will be held at the Boathouse Bar in the Ghost town on Sunday, September 3, 2023 at 6pm.   Pizza will be served.

--Scott Walker band will perform at 8pm after Gail’s Celebration on Sept. 3 at the Boathouse. It happens to be Scott’s Birthday as well.  Cake and ice cream will be served.

Dreamers Workshop

Are you looking for your dreams? Have you lost your vision? In this desert life, we often get lost in the silence or grow weary of waiting on long-awaited dreams and aspirations that haven't come to pass. With this summer's heat, it's been increasingly difficult to focus on our goals, dreams, and visions.

---Ever had a dream you've been waiting on for years just to give up and let those dreams die?  I have. It's time to revive your hope, vision, and dreams. Join me in a 3-week workshop on building hope and vision for the future. Awaken the dreamer in you! This gathering is meant to bring a fresh look at your dreams and vision for the future with hands-on participation and speaking our desires to bring our dreams into reality.

--Build your dream muscles!  This 3-week course will be complete with discussion and sharing, building a visual, tangible guide to reviving the dreams in your life with reflection and encouragement from your neighbors and community.

---The workshop is free. It will be a 2-hour session every Monday from 4:00pm to 6:00pm for 3 weeks. All that will be needed is a pair of scissors. All ages are welcome! Let's get together and encourage each other!

---Presented by Anita Goss
