Jarret was born Aug. 8, 1989 in Nocona to Jeff Duke and Tammi (Nichols) Daniels. He was a genius musician, able to play any instruments he picked up. He loved to sing and performed in several one-act plays in high school. As an adult he was active in theater in New Mexico, were he was an instant hit. Jarret attended Cisco Junior College and was a drum major his senior year. He loved music and he loved people.
Jarret had a smile you could never forget and eyes that showed you his soul. He loved everyone and wanted to move to Hollywood and pursue an acting career but his life was cut short. He lost so many dear friends that his heart was filled with pain and yet he continued to be someone that you could turn to in a time of need.
Jarret left this world doing what he did every single day, helping someone else in need as an organ donor. He hated the thought of someone in need and not being able to help. He never in his 29 years met a stranger, never pushed away a needy hand and never asked for much of anything out of this life, except to help others.
He is preceded in death by his granny, Mary Wells and uncle, Dean Duke.
Jarret is survived by his dad Jeff Duke and wife Lisa, Waynoka, OK; mother, Tammi Daniels and husband Ikey, Graham; his other mom, Pam Campbell and husband Alan, Bowie; brothers, Justin Duke and wife Samantha, Waynoka, OK, and Jacob Rogers, Big Springs; step-brothers, Matthew and Brandon Blevins; someone he thought of as his sister, Ashley Campbell; nephews, Dalton Lee Duke and Jackson Ray Duke, Kansas; his sweet little nieces, Halo Grayce Duke, MacKynna Faye Reed and Novalee Rayne Reed all of Waynoka, OK; grandparents, Paul Wells, Montague, and Barbara Atteberry, Nocona; a very special friend, Josh Jefferson; and numerous cousins, aunts, uncles, other relatives and friends.
Jarret was passionate about so many things and you weren’t going to change his mind, and that just made us love him more.

Tomas Garcia Gomez
December 1, 1958 – November 4, 2024
PITTSBURG – Tomas Garcia Gomez, 65, passed away into the arms of Jesus at 9:54 a.m. on Nov. 4, 2024 in Tyler, TX.
A private burial will take place at a later date, and a celebration of life will be announced in the future.
Tomas was born on Dec. 1, 1958, in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico to Tomas Garcia Sr. and Juanita Gomez.
At the age of 20, Tomas moved to the United States, where he soon met and married the love of his life, Norma Bone, on Feb. 7, 1981. The couple welcomed their first daughter, Rosie, in June of the same year. Over the next five years, they expanded their family with two more daughters, Christina in February 1984, and Nickcole in August 1986. They enjoyed 37 years of marriage before Norma’s passing in 2018.
Tomas was known for his unwavering work ethic and his willingness to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He was a man of many talents, with expertise in construction, mechanics, ranch management, welding and beyond. There was not a job he couldn’t do. If there was something he didn’t know, he’d humourously say, “Ask the Google.” Tomas was also known for his warm and outgoing personality – he never met a stranger and was a loyal friend to many throughout his life.
He is preceded in death by his wife, Norma Lynn Gomez; father, Tomas Garcia Sr.; stepmother, Maria Guadalupe Zambrano-Larios and sister, Gricelda Lucinda Garcia.
Tomas is survived by his daughters, Rosie Cole and husband Randy, Christina McGaugh and Nickcole Gomez; grandchildren, Raquel and Rylan Cole, Kaidon and Avery McGaugh, and Jaxon White; four sisters, Genoveva Garcia, Maria De Los Angeles Yanez, Yolanda Ibarra and Estela Gonzalez; brother, Rafael Garcia; 19 nieces and nephews; and a host of extended family and many close friends.
Tomas’s family takes comfort in the knowledge that he is at peace, reunited with his beloved wife, Norma, and surrounded by the love of his Savior. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
