Troy H Brassfield
 December 27, 2016

Loving husband, father, grandfather & brother – Tony Harold Brassfield has been called home to heaven and freed from a long battle with Alzheimer’s.

Troy H. Brassfield passed away December 27, 2016 at home surrounded by his family.  He was born 79 years ago in Stigler, Oklahoma and raised in Wasco, California.  He then met the love of his life Jeanette Rose Nano and married her over 57 years ago and they raised their 4 children in Sacramento, CA, Battle Creek, MI, Waldorf, MD and finally came back to California where they settled in Redlands the last 30 years.

During his life he was an Airman 1st Class in the Air Force, a police officer in Roseville, Calif where a photo of him giving a sobriety test made national newspapers.  He then worked as a civilian for the Air Force until he retired.  He became a lifetime member of the Masons while he lived in Maryland and continued when they moved to Redlands where he became Grand Master of their chapter.  He also worked as their business manager until he felt his illness was getting the better of him.

Troy was an avid reader, hunter, locksmith and loved working in his yard.  He passed on his thirst of knowledge to his children and taught them to follow their dreams and if at first you don’t succeed to brush yourself off and try again.

A funeral service honoring Troy Brassfield will be held at 10:30 am, January 10, 2017 at Inland Memorial Chapel located at 900 North Meridian Avenue, Colton, CA and service will be performed by Pastor El Roy Pankow of Worship Avenue Community Church of Fullerton, California.  He will be laid to rest later that day in military fashion at Riverside National Cemetery at 1:15 pm – address;  22495 Van Buren Blvd., Riverside, CA

Victor Palos
October 15, 1960 - December 17, 2016
Victor Manuel Palos, age 56, passed away on December 17th, 2016 in Ontario, California. His loved ones surrounded his bedside as he peacefully and painlessly went to be with the Lord in Heaven.
Victor is survived by his wife of 22 years, Amy, and his four children, Cienna, Jaryd, Cambria, and Caira. In addition, he also leaves his mother Esperanza G. Palos, brother Rudolfo Palos Jr., sister Sandra Gonzalez, sister Esperanza Palos-Junco Jr., sister Claudia Palos-Rodriguez, and sister Leticia Palos.
He is preceded by his father Rudolfo Palos Sr., sister Veronica, grandfather Abel Garcia, grandmother Modesta Garcia, grandfather Manuel Palos, and grandmother Omobona-Romo Palos.
Victor was born in Blyth, California on October 15th, 1960 to Rodolfo and Esperanza Palos. He grew up in Gardena, California, enjoying his early years with his family. After high school, he moved to Pomona, California in order to begin his college career at Cal Poly Pomona. There, he graduated with a BA in Architecture. Following college, he began to work for several architectural firms. However, being the ambitious man he was, he decided to open up his own business in 1992: Studio 3 Architects.
He quickly established himself as a respected and talented architect, designing beautiful homes and buildings. He worked incredibly hard every single day to make a name for himself, and he succeeded. Architecture was his passion, and this passion is what allowed him to do so well.
Victor was also a general contractor, and went on to start up Victor Palos Development and Construction in 1993, only a year later. These two businesses went hand in hand, allowing him to gain expertise in all areas of his field. Not only would he put in the time designing and creating these buildings, but he was also out on the job sites overseeing the process and making sure his visions properly came to life. It was a lot of work to have a hand in so many projects and responsibilities, but he enjoyed every minute of it. To one, all of his work may have seemed overwhelming, but to him, he was living out his dream. Day in and day out, he would wake up every morning eager to get to the office and begin creating. He would blast his favorite music in his office as he submerged himself into his designs.
He was always so grateful to be able to carry out his passion while also providing for his family. Victor was a family man first, and would do whatever he could to make sure they were always taken care of. He loved his wife and his children, and went to great lengths to be the best father and provider he possibly could.
Victor was and is respected and loved by many, and will be dearly missed.
The service for Victor will be held on December 30th, 2016 at St. Josephs Church in Upland. It will begin at 10:00 AM.
