Boner Jasper (BJ) Rabon 75, of Montgomery Texas passed away peacefully in the

He never met a stranger and always had a smile on his face.

He grew up in Montgomery. He graduated in 1968 from Montgomery High School

Boner loved Country Classic and Southern Gospel Music. He sang in a Gospel
Quartet in Alabama. He loved to watch the Alabama College football games. "Roll
Tide". He loved animals, especially little Pug dogs.
He never missed watching a Houston Astros Baseball game.

He lived his life with the gas pedal to the floor.
One of his favorite sayings is:
"If those wheels aren't turning and the doors are not shut, you are not making any
money."
Another he used often was calling Barbara, "Knucklehead." He would say she is a
knucklehead, but she is my knucklehead.
Often when he liked something Barbara did or showed him, he would reply with
"Dammit Girl".
