Katharine Elizabeth Compton, born May 5, 1991 went to be with the Lord on July 6, 2015 in Texas. Katharine was 24.

Obituary: Katharine Elizabeth Compton jumped from our world, unexpectedly, on 6th 2015 at the age of 24.
A few years ago at Camp Mystic, we watched Katharine and her co-captain lead a Quadrille team of eight riders and horses through the intricate woven patterns they had choreographed and set to music. The drill performance was a remarkable display of strength, control and daring, all characteristics that best describe Katharines life. Born and raised in Houston, Katharine graduated from Memorial High School. She was a four-year letterman on the Golf Team and was awarded the Mustang Heart Award by her peers and faculty for her compassion. She ventured to Furman University in South Carolina for her undergraduate studies, where she was a proud member of Alpha Delta Pi Sorority. As a senior, she was named the Outstanding Greek Woman of the Year. college, she attended the Indiana University Geological Field Camp and then Colorado State University where she earned her Master of Science in Geology. In May, she successfully defended her research and had recently received word that her thesis was approved for publication. Three weeks ago, she moved to Houston and launched her career with Sandia Technologies, LLC. She was primed, ready and excited for the life ahead.

Those are the facts. What that information leaves out is who she really was. She was the daughter every parent dreams of, and the sister every brother needs. She lived more in her short life than most. She loved, well, her friends and her family, and that love was reciprocated. She was often the glue that held relationships together. She was funny and silly and, strong. She took pictures of herself jumping everywhere from the golf course to the mountaintop to display her joy of life. She was undaunted as she entered new locales and new situations flying solo. She climbed mountains, she jumped from planes, she traveled to exotic places to work with elephants and conduct research, she was unafraid to dry-camp for a month in Yosemite for her Masters Thesis research. She enjoyed riding her bicycle to the brewery for an afternoon with friends in the sun, baking cupcakes and collecting rocks. She had just found the love of her life. She was thoughtful and artistic and beautiful. But most of all, she was loved.

She leaves behind family and friends whose hearts she touched and forever changed with her own caring and compassionate heart: her parents, Steve and Caroline Compton, her brother, Campbell Compton, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends too many to name. We were blessed with her in our lives. Nothing will ever change that. Happy trails, Katharine.

To celebrate Katharine's life, family and friends are welcome to gather in the Wisteria Ballroom at The Westin Houston, Memorial City (945 Gessner Road, Houston TX, 77024) on , 18th between 4 and 6 PM. Our goal is to have an uplifting gathering of Katharine's many friend circles to retell stories, raise toasts with the craft beer she loved so much, and celebrate her life.

In lieu of customary remembrances, the family requests that gifts in memory of Katharine be directed to either Boys and Girls Country, 18806 Roberts Road, Hockley, TX 77447, or the Katharine Compton Memorial Fund at Austin State Bank, PO Box 1466, Bellville, Texas 77418, to establish Geology Field Camp Scholarships for students at Furman University, Colorado State University and the Indiana University Geologic Field Station.

Obituary: John "Jack" Michael Compton went home to be with the Lord on May 18, 2015 at the age of 72. He was born on May 19, 1942 to Dr. Jack and Annie Grey Compton. Jack was raised in Charlottesville, Virginia graduating from Lane High school in 1960. He then went on to Samford University, in Birmingham, AL, graduating with a bachelors degree in Mathematics.

Jack Compton joined the USAF as an officer and went on to pilot training school at Laughlin AFB in Del Rio, TX. It was there he met his wife, Lety Laing to whom he would be married for 48 years. it was love at first sight between this young fighter pilot and this small town beauty. Jack and Lety married within a year on 10th, 1966 just before he was deployed to fight for his country.

Jack was an F-4 fighter pilot in the USAF during the Vietnam War and Korean conflict era. Captain Compton was known as one of the brightest and best fighter pilots of his day, flying along side famous test pilot Colonial Chuck Yeager, who is known for being the first to break the sound barrier. Jack was chosen as lead pilot in the "missing man fly by" formation at President Eisenhower's funeral in 1969 over the U.S. Capital.

Jack Compton then spent 35 years at NASA training astronauts and was instrumental in the formation of the Sky Lab, Space Shuttle and Space Station programs. Jack was responsible for mission planning, flight data, and led the astronaut preparation process. Jack is credited for writing the "Astronaut's Bible" during the space Shuttle program.

While Jack Compton could've bragged about his earthly accomplishments, his legacy stands as one of humility, gentleness and servant hood. Jack Compton was the first to serve, always putting others before himself. He loved the Lord Jesus with all his heart, soul and mind. Everyone who was privileged to know Jack immediately felt his unselfish love, caring heart and compassionate spirit. One of his greatest joys in life was serving as an usher and greeter at Compassion Church in San Antonio, TX, where his son Adrian pastors. While there is a gaping hole here on earth without Jack Compton, angels are rejoicing at his presence in Heaven. We will see him again.

Jack Compton is survived by his loving wife of 48 years, Leticia Laing Compton; Sons John Anthony Compton and Adrian Brian Compton, Grandson John Jr., and Brother Sam Compton.

A Visitation is set for , May 26, 2015 from 5:00pm to 9:00pm and a Service on , May 27, 2015 at 12:00pm at Sunset North with a graveside Service at Fort Sam Houston National to follow.
