Charles Nick Wagoner was born in Colby, Kansas, on June 29, 1934, to Greg
 and Margie Wagoner. He passed away on July 17, 2022, at Citizens 
Medical Center, at the age of 88. Charles attended Colby Public Schools,
 graduating in 1953 and went on to attend Barnes School of Business in 
Denver, Colorado. After graduating from college, Charles moved back to 
Colby and worked for his father at the family business, Wagoner and 
Sons. During this time, he met Patty Kelley, and they wed on January 25,
 1958. Charles was sure to let everyone know that the reason he had to 
marry Patty was to get even with her because she drafted him into the 
Army. Their union was blessed with two children, Michael Wagoner and 
Michelle Phillips. 
Charles remained in Colby and continued to work in the family business 
and as a local businessman until he passed away. He made many friends 
who turned into family throughout the years. We never knew how many 
people to expect at a holiday gathering because if someone had no place 
to go, Charles brought them home. Charles and Patty had lots of fun in 
their younger days whether it be Jeeping through the mountains, flying 
his plane, dancing until the sun came up, or burning the tops of his 
feet while traveling. His many hobbies and collections, too numerous to 
list, are a testament to his inquisitive and engaged mind. On weekends, 
Charles could often be spotted at auctions adding to his many 
collections. It is safe to say that some of his most prized possessions 
were his cars; he loved his cars. The grandkids will even tell you they 
are pretty sure some of the cars were more special than they were. They 
also remember that one of his many reminders “You might need that 
someday” was good advice and meant that he saved everything. 
Charles worked hard and played hard. If it were up to him, we would all 
work seven days a week. Later in life, Charles did start to slow down, 
but only slightly! Charles and Patty traveled and attended car shows all
 over the United States. They were a highlight, and he planned his whole
 year around these events. He also loved his family. Whether it was 
working in the family business, traveling, or attending their 
activities, he was always there for them. Charles’ true-life story is in
 his family, friends, and business that he guided and nurtured 
throughout his entire life. He is much like the car parts that he sold 
in that his memory will continue on in the journey down the road. 
Charles was preceded in death by his parents, Gregor and Margie Wagoner,
 brother Paul Wagoner, and grandson Nicholas Phillips. He is survived by
 his loving wife of 64 years Patty (Kelley) Wagoner, of Colby, his son 
Michael Wagoner and daughter Michelle Phillips, of Colby; his 
grandchildren Tara (Scott) Powell, of Colorado Springs, CO and Shawn 
(Maggie) Phillips, of Nekoma, KS; great-grandchildren Maleia and Hannah 
Powell; brother David (Marcia) Wagoner, of Colby, sister Tama (Roger) 
Sundquist, of Loomis NE, and sister-in-law Jeanie Wagoner of Colby. 
Additionally, he leaves behind several nieces, nephews, cousins, and 
friends. 
Services will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday July 23, 2022, at Sacred 
Heart Church in Colby. Visitation will be from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on
 Friday, July 22, 2022, at Baalmann Mortuary, with a rosary at 7:00 p.m.


In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Charles’s name to be 
decided at a later date. For information or condolences, visit

John Frederick Hinnenkamp, husband, father, grandfather, and beloved 
friend to many, went to be with the Lord early on Monday, July 11th, 
2022, at Seton Hospital in Kyle.

John was born in Denver, Colorado, on July 26, 1948.&nbsp; He was the 
second (after Gerald, or Jerry) son born to Fred and Mary Alma 
Hinnenkamp. Fred and Mary Alma had two more sons, Mark and Michael 
(Mike), who survive him.

John attended school in Lockhart, Texas, and at St. Joseph Military Academy. 
For the rest of his life, John spoke with pride of all schools in Hays, 
Kansas, which helped shape his life.

John met Deborah Jo (Debbie) Buckner in 1973 at the Lockhart Dairy 
Queen. They were married for 43 years. In 1989, they were blessed with 
the birth of daughter Brianna, she married Michael Oliva, and soon, John
 and Debbie were the proud grandparents of Luca Oliva, who adored his 
grandfather.

John had many skills. He was a gifted carpenter and outdoorsman. He 
was a real estate agent, and later proudly wore the badge of Deputy 
Sheriff for Travis County, Texas. After retiring from the Travis County 
Sheriff's Department, he served as bailiff for Caldwell County’s 
District Courts and as security deputy to the Caldwell County Judge.

A lifetime member of the Commemorative Air Force and a licensed 
pilot, he spent many hours volunteering for that organization. He had 
adventures of several lifetimes having broken most of the bones in his 
body, cheated death jumping out of airplanes, flying airplanes, and 
riding Harleys. He was one heck of a barbeque cook, and along with 
Debbie, shared countless hours entertaining family and friends. Friday 
nights at their home were filled with great food, loud peals of 
laughter, occasional insults, and just a lot of fun.

The two most important things in John’s life were his Christian 
faith, and an intense love for his family. John was baptized into the 
Catholic Church and was a devout follower of Christ. John was a charter 
member of Council 8131, Knights of Columbus, and truly lived the motto 
of the Texas Knights of Columbus, "Be Not Afraid."

Along with his immediate family, and brothers Mark (and wife Lynda) 
and Mike, John is survived by nieces Dyanna Hinnenkamp Matthews, 
Genevieve Hinnenkamp Cardozo, and Jennifer Hinnenkamp Ayres, and nephew 
Brandon Hinnenkamp. And by hundreds of friends who miss him mightily.

The few words in this obituary do not do John Hinnenkamp justice. He 
had a heart as big as God’s outdoors. He was a gifted storyteller, He 
was a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather. He was interesting, 
fun, and always willing to extend a helping hand.

God has received this wonderful man into his arms, and Lockhart, 
Caldwell County, and Earth, our island home, are much the poorer by his 
passing. Rest in Peace, John. Your earthly travels are over, and your 
new adventure has begun!&nbsp; Services will be held on Tuesday, July 26, 
2022, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Lockhart, TX, at 10am. 

In lieu of
 flowers, the family requests a donation to St. Jude’s Children’s 
Research Hospital or The American Association as both were dear to the 
Hinnenkamp’s hearts.&nbsp;

Michelin “Mich” Louise (Fabrizius) Fiske, 73, of Salina, passed away 
Friday, July 15, 2022, in Minneapolis, Kansas. She was born June 15, 
1949, in Hays, Kansas, the daughter of Herman and Leona (Sommerfield) 
Fabrizius. Mich graduated from Minneapolis High School in 1967. On 
November 8, 1982, she was united in marriage to Kenneth “Kenny” Fiske, 
and the couple made their home in Salina.

She collected dear friends everywhere she went, from her workplaces 
to her time at the Elks, GreatLife and the Smoky Hill River Festival. 
Holidays spent with her mom, siblings, nieces and nephews, children, and
 grandkids were always a treasured time for her. In her free time, she 
frequented local department stores and was especially sad when Dillards 
closed but found a new favorite when Marshall’s came to town, never 
wanting to miss a bargain. Her love for KU basketball and slot machines 
was only surpassed by her love for her grandkids.&nbsp;

Mich is survived by her husband, Kenny of Salina; a daughter, Amber 
Hanson (Scott) of Concordia, Kansas; three sons, J.B. Fiske (Mandy) of 
Enterprise, Kansas, Rick Fiske (Sheri) of Bennington, Kansas and Jason 
Fiske of Elwood, Nebraska; her mother, Leona Fabrizius of Minneapolis, 
Kansas; three brothers, Don Fabrizius (Wendy) of Niles, Kansas, Steve 
Fabrizius of Minneapolis, Kansas, and Mike Fabrizius (Tami) of 
Minneapolis, Kansas; a sister, Kathy Nash (Marty) of Minneapolis, 
Kansas; grandchildren, Melissa, Kate, Maddy, Chase, Cade, Cobey, 
Quenton, Abby, Haddie, Brynna, and Callie; and three 
great-grandchildren.

Mich is preceded in death by her father, Herman Fabrizius; a grandson, Sidney Fiske; and a nephew, Aaron Fiske.&nbsp;

Visitation will be from 4-8 p.m., Tuesday, July 19, at Ryan Mortuary,
 Salina, with family receiving friends from 6-8. Funeral services for 
Mich will be at 11 a.m. Wednesday, July 20, at First United Methodist 
Church of Salina. A private burial will be in Gypsum Hill Cemetery,
