Tom Sidler
January 25, 2026
Tom Sidler, 63, of Pensacola, Florida, passed away on January 19, 2026, in Black Hawk County, Iowa.
Born on April 4, 1962, in Newport News, Virginia, to Edward Sidler and Barbara Crowe Sidler, Tom was raised in Cedar Falls, Iowa, where he graduated from Cedar Falls High School. He later earned a degree in Civil Engineering from Iowa State University and built a long and respected career in the transportation, construction, and aggregates industries. For more than four decades, he held leadership and management roles while residing in Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee, Alabama, and Florida, overseeing operations in concrete paving, safety management, and aggregate supply. He spent the last 30 years of his life near Pensacola, Florida, where he met his wife, built his family, and continued to live out the values of integrity and service that defined his life.
Tom was known for his selflessness, loyalty, and unwavering dependability. A true doer, he believed deeply in hard work and personal responsibility, approaching everything in his life with intention and commitment. He did not cut corners, and he taught his children the value of showing up, following through, and doing things the right way.
He had a passion for motorcycles, fellowship, and service, and was a member of two motorcycle ministries, including Bikers for Christ (Birmingham, Alabama) and Hell Fighters (Pensacola, Florida). He was also a member of the Shriners and the Masons, continuing a proud family tradition alongside his father. Beyond his community service, he lived out his faith in everyday moments, often carrying small metal crosses to share as a simple reminder of God’s love.
Tom enjoyed boating, home-cooked meals, playing card games, and singing songs, but he especially cherished spending time at home with family and friends. Though a big man with a strong presence, Tom was a gentle giant at heart – tough when he needed to be, but endlessly loving and supportive. He found his greatest joy in caring for those around him, encouraging their passions, and helping them grow.
Above all, he was a devoted husband and father. Of all his accomplishments, he was most proud of his wife and three children.
He was preceded in death by his father, Edward Sidler; his stepfather, Jack Scott; his father-in-law, Bobby Johnson; and his brother-in-law, Dave Rasmusson.
Tom is survived by his loving wife of 18 years, Angel; his daughter, Raegan Sidler; and his sons, Landon and Gregory Williamson. He is also survived by his mother, Barbara Scott of Cedar Falls, Iowa; his sisters, Lori Rasmusson of Cedar Falls, Iowa, Lisa Bown (Mike) of West Bend, Wisconsin, and Samantha Buckingham of Ankeny, Iowa; and his brother, John Sidler (Jesica) of Boone, Iowa. He is further survived by a large extended family, including his father- and mother-in-law, Billy and Joyce Campbell of Molino, Florida; his sisters-in-law, Kathi Johnson (Brian) and Trudy Campbell, both of Pensacola, Florida; his brother-in-law, Kevin Johnson (Becky) of Jay, Florida; and numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends whom he loved dearly.
Pallbearers will be John Sidler, Dan Rasmusson, Chuck Taylor, Mark Jackson, Forrest Gibbs Sr., Rich Boykin, Hammond Hearn, and Daryl Powell.
Honorary pallbearers will be Nick Hearn, Victor Wallace, and Eli Miller.

Carole Jo Bayne Brouillette
January 20, 2026
Carole Jo Bayne Brouillette transitioned peacefully to her heavenly home on January 1, 2026. Born in Chicago on September 6, 1942, Carole spent most of her life in Florida, where she built a life filled with love, resilience, and service to others.
Carole was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph Bayne and Frances Whedon, sisters Zoet and Cynthia, brother Seth; and Evelyn Brouillette, who lovingly adopted Carole years ago. She is survived by children: John (Tina) Jenkins of Lake City, FL; Terri Jenkins of Pensacola, FL; and Tracy (Kelly) Duckett of Lake City, FL. She also leaves behind a sister Edna Brouillette and her newly discovered sister, Paula Petrakovic of Utah, and a circle of dear friends spanning multiple states, who cherished her deeply.
Carole’s greatest joy was her family. She was blessed with eight grandchildren, fifteen great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren (of which one is on the way). Her grandchildren include Leah (Nate), Aleah; Daniel (Amanda); Whitney (Dustin); Aaron (Lauren); Caitlin, Ryan (Amanda); and Brantley (Serenity), along with a host of beloved great-grandchildren who will carry her memory forward.
Great grandchildren include Skyla, Ava, Peyton, Zack, Jackson, Kasen, Ashlynn, Aria, Pearl, Hannah, Hudson, Ryker, Aspen, Maverick and Wilder.
Great-great grandchildren include Jace and Meadow (who is on the way).
Carole’s life was a testament to perseverance and unconditional love. She faced challenges with courage and determination, always striving to protect and nurture her children—even when life required her to do so from afar. Her heart never wavered in its devotion.
Professionally, Carole was a long-time employee at Reynolds Hardware in Pensacola, where her enthusiasm, professionalism, and radiant smile earned her a loyal clientele. Beyond her work, Carole quietly embodied the spirit of humanitarianism. She helped countless young families in her Cantonment community, never seeking recognition—an unsung heroine who lived by the motto, “help thy neighbor.”
Carole often reflected on life’s meaning and requested this poem be shared:
“What will they say about me, those whom I hold so dear? What will they best remember when I’m no longer here? Will they recall mistakes I’ve made, battles I never won? Moments of pain I’ve caused them, things I have left undone. Will they censor my human failings and wish I’d been noble and strong? Will they scoff at the hopes I nurtured, the dreams that somehow went wrong? … Or will they be moved by compassion, directed by Heaven above To temper their judgment with kindness and soften their memories with LOVE?”
Those who loved Carole did exactly that—they saw her strength, shared her hopes, and embraced her heart without judgment. Her legacy is one of kindness, resilience, and love.
Rest easy, Carole. You will always be missed and loved.
In lieu of a service, donations may be made in Carole’s memory to Teen Challenge Thrift Store (40 W 9 Mile Rd), Allen Memorial Methodist Church Food Pantry Program, and the American Red Cross, Northwest Florida Chapter.

Terry Lynn Cumbie
January 18, 2026
Terry Lynn Cumbie, 61, of Little River, Alabama, was born in Atmore, Alabama, and lived life with laughter, speed, and a generous heart.
Terry was truly the life of the party—always quick with a joke, a story, or a grin that could light up a room. A natural daredevil, he loved to go fast and live boldly, never shying away from adventure. He was an avid outdoorsman who found his greatest peace in the woods or on the water, hunting, fishing, and tending to his garden. One of his greatest joys was sharing the fruits of his labor, whether it was a fresh catch, a successful hunt, or vegetables from his garden—always making sure everyone else had plenty.
Above all, Terry loved his family. He is survived by his son, Colton Cumbie; his stepdaughter, Christina White; his step-grandson, Aiden White; his sister, Wanda Stanfield; his brother, Ricky Cumbie; and a plethora of nieces and nephews who will forever cherish his laughter and love.
