December 1, 2023

ObituaryIt is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Pete Slovacek Jr. , a beloved husband, father, and Vietnam War veteran, who left us on November 5, 2023 at the age of 74. Pete's life was a testament to resilience, courage, and unwavering dedication to his country and loved ones. Pete was born on August 27, 1949 in Hallettsville, the son of Pete and Mildred Slovacek. He grew up in a close-knit family that instilled in him the values of honor, duty, and service, which would define his life. Pete is survived by his wife, Ida Grace Hahn Slovacek; son and daughter in law, Brian and Amanda Slovacek; two grandchildren, Kaitlyn Slovacek and Madison Slovacek; brothers, Ronald Slovacek, David Slovacek and Butch Slovacek; sister, Shirley Jones along with a host of extended family and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents and his sisters, Rose Marie Slovacek and Dorothy Peoples. In 1968, Pete answered the call of his nation and enlisted in the United States Army. He served as a brave soldier in the jungles of Vietnam, displaying remarkable courage and selflessness. Pete's dedication to his fellow soldiers and his unwavering commitment to protecting his country earned him several commendations for valor. His legacy as a Vietnam veteran is a testament to his selfless service and the sacrifices he made for the cause of freedom. After returning from Vietnam, Pete continued to demonstrate his love for his country and his community. He was a source of inspiration for many, always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. Pete's unwavering support for his fellow veterans, through organizations such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion, showcased his compassion and dedication to their well-being. Pete's love extended beyond his service, as he was a devoted husband to his wife, Grace, for 54 years. Their enduring love was a beautiful example of the power of love and commitment. He was a loving father to his son, Brian, and a cherished grandfather to his two granddaughters. His family was at the center of his heart, and he was a pillar of strength for all who knew him. In addition to his military service and family life, Pete had a passion for hunting and fishing. Big bucks and largemouth bass never stood a change in his presence. Pete's memory will be cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing him. He leaves behind a legacy of heroism, service, and love. His courage and dedication will be remembered by generations to come. There will be a viewing (5 -7 pm) and rosary (6:30 pm) on Wednesday, November 8th, 2023, at Freund Funeral Home. A funeral service will be held on Thursday, November 9, 2023, 2:00 pm at St. Michael's Catholic Church where family and friends can gather to celebrate Pete's life, share stories, and pay their respects. Memorial Contributions may be made to Pete's charity of choice "Wounded Warriors". Pallbearers include Glenn Zengerle, Bobby Jones, Kevin Wanjura, Bobby Hahn, Robert Hernandez and Lawrence Hahn. Honorary Pallbearers include Dylan Slovacek and Michael Hahn. As we say our final farewell to a true American hero, let us remember Pete Slovacek Jr. with gratitude and admiration for his sacrifice and service to his country. His spirit will live on in our hearts forever. Rest in peace, dear Pete. You will never be forgotten. You may sign the guestbook or send condolences at www. freundfuneralhome. com.

October 31, 2023

On October 26, 2023, our son, Brandon Caldwell's journey on earth ended and his new journey began with our Lord and Savior. He was born August 29, 1995 in Bremerton, Washington to Andrea Caldwell and David Turpin Jr. Brandon enjoyed the simple things in life - working on his cars and small engines. His knowledge and advice was well beyond his years. His greatest joy was working on his land with a vision for what he wanted it to become. He also loved going on long drives just for the fun of it. His accomplishments on earth were more matter of fact, and nothing to boast about in his eyes. There are so many things we could share, but his friends and family that were a part of his life knew what a caring and helpful person he was. Brandon is now pain free with the ones that have passed before him. As our hearts break and Brandon will be missed, we are thankful to all that will join us as we lay his body to rest and celebrate his life and soul that lives on. Brandon is survived by his parents, David and Andrea of Cuero and brother, Steffen D. Robinson of Shelton, WA.
