Daniel J. Billinger, age 63, of Hays, Kansas passed away of COVID-19 on Thursday, December 17, 2020.

He is survived by his son, Brandon 
Billinger, and daughter in law, Elizabeth; grandsons, William and 
Joseph; longtime partner, Pamela Groff; daughter, Amy Billinger; 
siblings, Robert Billinger and wife, Marilyn; Ken Billinger and wife, 
Patty; Kathy Kuhn and husband, Norman; Jeanne Riedel and husband, 
Vernon; and a large extended family.

Daniel was born August 3, 1957, in 
Hays, Kansas to Daniel and Angelita “Angie” (Giebler) Billinger.&nbsp; He is 
preceded in death by his parents, one sister, Barbra Weber and her 
husband, Rich; and nephew, Blaine Billinger.

Dan spent 38 years as a teacher, and 
coached high school softball, baseball, and junior high basketball in 
Ulysses, Kansas USD 214 before retiring in May 2019.&nbsp; He was the type of
 person who would drop everything to help someone in need, whether it 
was family, friends, students or total strangers.&nbsp; His mischievous 
nature brought laughter to his lessons and his legacy will live on 
through the thousands of students that passed through his classroom.&nbsp; 
Dan was especially proud that he and his son, Brandon, graduated from 
Fort Hays State on the same day; Brandon with his bachelor’s degree and 
Dan with his master’s.&nbsp; He was a 1975 graduate of Victoria High School.

When he wasn’t teaching, Dan spent his 
summers traveling to Major League Baseball games, hiking fourteeners, 
and spending time with family and loved ones, especially Pam.&nbsp; He was a 
devoted grandfather who shared his love of baseball and science with his
 grandkids, spoiling them with hours of laughter, exploring the 
outdoors, and trips to get ice cream.

The family wishes to express its 
deepest gratitude to the medical staff at Hays Medical Center who tried 
valiantly to save Dan’s life.&nbsp; The family has been overwhelmed with 
expressions of sympathy from the community, but due to the pandemic we 
can only accommodate a private family service at this time.&nbsp; We will 
have a Celebration of Life for all who considered Dan a friend once it 
is safe to do so.&nbsp; Memories and photos can be shared on Dan’s Facebook 
page and are greatly appreciated.

A visitation open to all will take 
place on Sunday, December 20, 2020, from 6:00-8:00 P.M. at 
Cline’s-Keithley Mortuary, Victoria, Kansas.&nbsp; A private family mass will
 be held at the Basilica of St. Fidelis and burial will be in St. 
Fidelis Cemetery, Victoria, Kansas.

Due to the COVID-19 coronavirus if you 
have a cough, fever or are not feeling well, please use our e-mail or on
 line guestbook.&nbsp; Social distancing and wearing masks will be required 
at the visitation.

Education was important to Dan, as was 
honoring the next generation.&nbsp; In lieu of flowers, Dan would have loved 
contributions to his grandchildren’s education fund to continue his 
legacy of learning, remit to Brandon Billinger in care of the mortuary.

Services are entrusted to 
Cline’s-Keithley Mortuary, 412 Main Street Victoria, Kansas 67671.&nbsp; 
Condolences can be sent via e-mail to clinesmortuary@eaglecom.net or can

Ross Lynn Jamison, 65, of WaKeeney, KS passed away on Thursday, 
December 17, 2020. He was born the son of Morris and Gladys Jamison 
(Buchholz) on January 31, 1955.

Ross lived his entire life in WaKeeney, graduating from Trego 
Community High School in 1973.&nbsp; He married Willanette (Weber) and to 
this union were born three sons.&nbsp; Ross and his dad owned and operated 
Jamison Motor Co. for many years.&nbsp; He was the Transportation Director 
for USD 208 for 29 years, retiring in 2018. &nbsp;Everyone loved hearing his 
funny voice messages when canceling school because of snow.&nbsp;In 2000, 
Ross married Nancy (Keith) uniting two families for more than 20 years, 
blessed with 12 grandchildren, traveling to countless sporting events, 
school activities, and trips to Kansas City, capturing it all with his 
camera. Ross has left his family with many pictures and videos that will
 last a lifetime.

Ross is survived by his wife, Nancy, of the home; sons, Dustin (Rene)
 Jamison and grandchildren, Juliana and Vincent of Mission, KS, and 
Jarod (Kami) Jamison and grandchildren, Ella and Emry of Cleveland, MO, 
and Preston (Valerie) Jamison and grandchildren, Brooklyn, Kennedy, and 
Adalynn of Kansas City, KS.&nbsp; He is also survived by Scott (Kerrie) Keith
 and grandchildren Jaida and Jordyn of WaKeeney and Tammi (Daniel) Wynn 
and grandchildren Adrian, Ashton, and Acelyn of WaKeeney; sister Connie 
(Gary) White of Sharon Springs KS; sister-in-law Kaye Schwartz (Mark) of
 Buhler, KS, along with numerous nieces and nephews. Ross was preceded 
in death by his parents; Morris and Gladys Jamison; in-laws Pete and 
Betty Swank of Osborne, KS.

Ross was a member of the First United Methodist Church in WaKeeney 
where he was a trustee, operated the sound system, sang in the choir, 
and rang in the bell choir.&nbsp; One of his passions was his membership in 
the High Plains Barbershop Chorus of Hays and singing baritone in the 
quartets, Uncalled Four and Prairie Timbre.

Ross will be most remembered for his fun-loving spirit and 
personality, practical jokes, personalized answering machine messages, 
and love for his family. He dove into life (and the pool) and was not 
the type to sit on the sidelines but would rather join in the fun – 
games, family competitions, and of course costumes or accessories to get
 a laugh. Ross had an infectious smile and is remembered for his 
selfless acts, such as: driving 10-hours round trip to show up for the 
big (or not so big) moments; gas and detail your car; surprise money; 
home projects for family and friends; trips and more trips to the 
grocery store; and checking off the “honey do” list. He was a detailed, 
tireless worker who taught his boys work ethic by example.&nbsp;Ross had a 
serious side too. He was genuinely concerned for others, guided us to 
make safe decisions, and was always well prepared in making road trips, 
with a plan, a back-up plan and a detailed weather forecast to ensure 
everyone arrived safely.

There are no words to sum up a man’s life nor a single defining 
moment. Ross Jamison left us too soon, but will be remembered by a 
compilation of moments, actions, and words that demonstrate his 
character and unconditional love for his family and friends.

A private family memorial service will be held in the coming weeks 
with plans for a celebration of life with friends in the future. In leu 
of flowers, please make a random act of kindness to a friend, neighbor 
or even a complete stranger in memory of the beloved Grampy Ross!

Leinad Lorraine David, 90, died November 27, 2020, in Hill City, Kansas.
 She was born September 30, 1930, at the family farm to Landon Roosevelt
 and Jessie Mae (Haney) Hardman. Leinad grew up on the farm with her two
 siblings: Dwayne and Sharon. Her school days began at the North Star 
School in northwest Graham County. 

After graduating from Hill City High 
School, Leinad continued her education at Fort Hays College, earning a 
degree in Elementary Education. She taught in several rural schools, 
including South Star and Goshen. In later years, Leinad worked as a 
substitute teacher for the Lenora School District.
 On March 28, 1950, she and Eugene David were united in marriage 
in Hays, Kansas. Both being from farming families, the young couple 
began their married life establishing and working as their ancestors had
 done. To their union were born three children: Ronnie, Doug and Jeanie.
 Never one to sit still for very long, Leinad was an avid 
gardener, growing more vegetables than the family could eat, so 
neighbors could find Leinad canning in her kitchen on many long summer 
afternoons. Her green thumb expanded to yard landscaping especially when
 Gene and Leinad built a new country home. Her passion for growing 
plants always centered round her love of roses.
 Leinad and her neighbors became involved in EHU (Extension 
Homemakers Unit), meeting monthly for a lesson and lots of visiting, 
always at the South Star Schoolhouse. She was also a member of the North
 Star Community Club. As a 4-H Leader for many years she was very active
 at the County Fair, helping members in the food and nutrition 
categories or wherever else she was needed. During Jeanie’s college 
sports years, Leinad followed the teams faithfully and sponsored many 
out of town team bus trips from Colby. Leinad continued following the 
sports competitions of all three of her grandchildren, hardly ever 
missing a game.
 Leinad and Gene took many trips through the years with their 
favorite travelling buddies, Calvin and Iva Beckman, and an Alaskan 
cruise with grandchildren, Jordan and Kayla.
 Preceding her in death were her parents; sister Sharon Lovelady and brother Dwayne Hardman.
 Leaving to mourn her passing are her children: Ron David of 
Palmer, Alaska; Doug, wife Stephanie of Lenora; and Jeanie Bell of Hill 
City; grandchildren: India David of Palmer, Alaska, Jordan Bell of 
Seward, Nebraska, Kayla Waggoner and husband Tyler of Quinter, and Chase
 Bell of Hill City; step-grandson Cody Roberts, wife Claire of Hill 
City; step-grandchildren: Molly, Harper and Kaci Roberts; numerous 
nieces and nephews and many friends.
 A burial service was held Friday, December 4, 2020, at South 
Star Cemetery, Rural Penokee. Memorials to the Methodist Church may be 
sent to the David Family in care of Stinemetz Funeral Home, 522 N. 
Pomeroy Ave., Hill City, Kansas.

Kent Douglas Beisner, 70, passed away on Saturday, November 28, 2020, at Lawrence Memorial Hospital in Lawrence, Kansas.

Kent was born on October 22, 1950, in Oakley, Kansas, the son of Harold O. and Betty (Gatlin) Beisner. Kent studied pharmacy at the University of Arizona and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Business from Baker University. He played golf and basketball in college. He was united in marriage to Diana (Olberding) Beisner on April 30, 1976, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Colby, Kansas, and had a beautiful marriage for 44 years. Together they have three children, Kyle, Keith, and Elizabeth.

He lived a full and vibrant life. He was truly a friend to everyone he met and a mentor to many people in all aspects of his life and professional career. His smile and humor were infectious (dad jokes included). Spending time with his wife, children, and grandchildren brought him so much joy.

Kent had a wonderful career and was a beloved leader. He was in the beer and beverage distribution business for over 33 years. He was Vice-President and General Manager of V &amp; M Distributing, Inc., a family-owned Coors &amp; Miller Distributor in Colby, Kansas from 1976 to 1989. Kent was Vice-President and General Manager for Jayhawk Beverage, Inc. &amp; DeBauge Brothers, Inc. Coors, Boulevard and Miller Distributors, from 1989 to 2008. Kent joined the Kansas Chamber in 2008 and served in several positions including President &amp; CEO and Chief Operating Officer. He was also on the Leadership Kansas advisory board. In addition, he served on multiple boards and was a member of, or affiliated with, many organizations during his career.

After retiring in March 2018, he served as a managing partner for Professional Pile Solutions, LLC, a small business with his son, Keith, as well as an insurance agent. He continued to be involved with the Chamber, the Chamber PAC, Leadership Kansas and Rotary. Much of his time was also spent on the golf course – his passion and hobby that he was truly exceptional at.

Kent was preceded in death by his parents; siblings, Lisa Beisner and Kelly Beisner. Survivors include his wife, Diana of the home; children, Kyle (Jodie) of Beloit, Keith (Kim) of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Elizabeth (Nick) Jerkovich of Leawood; sister, Linda West (Paul) of Norfolk, Virginia; grandchildren, Bryce, Allison, and Ethan; and several cousins, nieces and nephews.

Services were earlier this month in Lawrence.
