Danielle Lynn Heckman (Reeve) or as many called her, &nbsp;"Little Red" or "D", a former lifelong resident&nbsp;of Box Butte County, passed away in her home in Lincoln Nebraska, on April 27, 2022.

Danielle was born July 16, 1970, in Alliance, Nebraska to Darrell W. Reeve and Leonida M. Todd. &nbsp;In union with her former husband,1970 Tom Heckman of Alliance, their son Arik Heckman was born. Also, in this union she gained two step-daughters, Jessica Wyatt (Heckman) and Alexis Johnson (Heckman), who&nbsp;throughout her life also meant the world to her.&nbsp;

Danielle was previously employed at Woolrich, the YMCA, and Players Sports Bar in Alliance. She later became the successful business owner of Espresso Lane Coffee Shop also in Alliance. &nbsp;She did this for many years from 2006 until 2020. &nbsp;She looked forward to seeing her regular customers in the community, and always appreciated meeting new customers along the way! &nbsp;Quiet times at the coffee shop meant reading a good book, visiting with great friends, brushing up with the family, and creating and trying new drinks. &nbsp;All the while still managing to always have time for her visitors there and lending a listening ear to everyone's joys and concerns. &nbsp;Danielle spent a big chunk of her life actively participating in the local YMCA events and activities, as she and her family were active in many sports at the facility, especially racquetball.

Some of Danielle’s passions and priorities were supporting her son Arik in his hobbies, and his passion for scootering! &nbsp;She made it a priority to take him and his friends, along with her nephews to scootering competitions and exploring other skate parks around the region. &nbsp;

Danielle found inspiration in passages from the Bible and would often post them within her space. &nbsp;She was affiliated with the Berean Church and Pastor Russell with the Break Free Agape Fellowship Church. &nbsp;She thoroughly enjoyed reading, listening to music, dancing, sporting events, husker games, attending concerts, snow skiing with her kids and family, days&nbsp;at the lake and watersports like tubing and boating, traveling&nbsp;and social events. &nbsp;Also, in her love of the outdoors and life, Danielle throughout the years, grew all sorts of plants ranging from beautiful flowers assorted in beautiful flower beds to vegetable gardens and pots. &nbsp;

As an animal lover, Danielle loved her cats and dogs especially her boxers, Blossom and Riddick!&nbsp;

Anyone that knew Danielle knows her son Arik was her heart, and they also knew how special her step-daughters Jess and Alex were to her. &nbsp;She maintained a very close bond with them, and often talked about and looked forward to her next trip out to see them and their families in Texas. &nbsp;

Danielle was fully engaged in life and the life of her close friends and family. &nbsp;She poured her heart and soul into her loved ones and her relationships. &nbsp;There was no limit to the amount of love she had to give.

She relocated to Lincoln, Nebraska three years ago to explore new avenues and ventures in career and life. &nbsp;Upon moving to Lincoln, she took up jobs involving gardening, fostering her love for plants and continued her work in coffee and food service at Bagels and Joe and was looking forward to future adventures to see close friends in Florida and more trips back to Texas.&nbsp;

Danielle is survived by her son, Arik Heckman of Fort Worth Texas, her mother, Leonida Todd of Aurora, Nebraska, her siblings Tim Wilkins (Bunny Todd) of Aurora, Nebraska, Cindy Wilkins of Glenrock, Wyoming, Susan Wilkins of Gering, Nebraska, Tannya Reeve (Brian Jensen) of Alliance, Melodie Reeve of Alliance, and Thomas Reeve of Norfolk, Nebraska; and numerous nieces and nephews. &nbsp;Danielle is preceded in death by her father, Darrell Reeve and her grandparents. &nbsp;

Memorial Services will be held Saturday, May 14, 2022 at 2:00 p.m. at the Bates-Gould Chapel with Pastor Russell Saito officiating.&nbsp; Following the service, a gathering will be held at the Nineteenth Hole Banquet Center, Alliance Municipal Golf Course. &nbsp;

Memorials, cards, and flowers may be given to the donor's choice.

IN REMEMBRANCE OF DANIELLE LETS ALL REMEMBER HER BRIGHT SMILE THAT COULD LIGHT UP A ROOM AND HER CONTAGIOUS LAUGHTER... &nbsp;as we look up and picture her beautiful soul dancing in the skies! &nbsp;

Shortly after moving back, she started dating Nick Lapaseotes and the two were married on June 18th, 1989. They welcomed their first child, Alexandra (Alexa), on February 22nd, 1991 and two years later on April 23rd,1993 they welcomed their second child, Nicholas.

Along with Masid Chevrolet, she had also worked at Bridgeport State Bank, RK Nelson Associates and Lapaseotes LTD. Angie and her sister Julie started doing craft fairs as a hobby, until they decided to partner and start a business in 2001 called The Tarnished Halo. The two sisters co-owned the business until 2018, when Angie became the sole owner. Angie decided to retire and sell her business in 2021 after an impressive twenty-year run! A major reason for wanting to retire were Angie’s three grandchildren, which were her pride and joy. She wanted the freedom to spend all the time she could with her grandchildren, knowing more would soon follow. Angie had four grandchildren at the time of her passing, with a fifth grandchild only weeks away from being born.

Angie was well known for her quick wit and funny one-liners. She had a selfless way about her that is extremely rare, and many people felt the effects of that throughout her lifetime. Her smile and laugh were contagious, especially when she found something extremely funny. Angie was a quiet person, but when she did speak, people would listen to what she had to say. Her heart was made of gold and she cared so much about the things she held dear. She will be greatly missed by so many.

Angie was preceded in death by her grandparents Leslie and Dorothy Stull and Cecil and Agnes Beal, mother Dorothy Stull, father-in-law Connie Lapaseotes, sister-in-law Robin Coulter-Lapaseotes, and numerous aunts and uncles.

She is survived by her husband Nick Lapaseotes, children Nicholas and Manda Lapaseotes and Eric and Alexa Gutierrez, father Richard Stull, mother-in-law Chris Lapaseotes, grandchildren Rhett, Breck, Delilah, Ellie and Baby G, siblings Stephen and Vicki Stull, Andrew and Becky Stull, Mike and Tara Stull, Chris and Andrea Stull, Doug and Julie Hadden, Jody Weitzel, Pete Lapaseotes, Steve and Helen Plummer, along with numerous aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.

Longtime Harrison rancher and cowboy, Keith Zimmerman, passed away peacefully at his home on April 26, 2022.

Keith was born June 18, 1935 at Crawford, Nebraska to Cleve and Millie (Eberspecher) Zimmerman, the youngest of six children. He lived his entire life at his family home at Bodarc.

Keith married Olita Seaman on May 17, 1958, at her parents’ home. To this union were five children: Wanda, Dee, Lex, Trudy, and Ginger. He worked two years with his parents before purchasing the home place in 1960. In 1980, He and Olita expanded their operation by purchasing the Seaman Ranch Northwest of Harrison. While in high school, Keith was active in FFA, winning state honors and serving on 3 National Judging teams. He and two other members coaxed their instructor, Dean Lundy, into sponsoring an FFA rodeo in Harrison. They held the rodeo in 1950 and 1951, and it eventually became the Nebraska State High School Rodeo that has continued for many years.

Keith and his father built an arena when he became interested in roping. His father kept a few calves at home for Keith to practice on in the summer. He roped calves and Team Roped at several area rodeos for many years. Keith held a permit for a few years to the RCA (not the PRCA) and was a member of the “Old Timers Rodeo” (not the Senior Pro Rodeo Association), in which he competed twice at the finals held in Las Vegas. He was also a long-time member of the Harrison Roping Club as well as the Sioux County Agriculture Society (Fair Board). He also served as Sioux County Commissioner for years.

In 1948, at the age of 14, Keith purchased is fire Quarter Horse, Skipper Socks, a yearling stud. He and his dad acquired a mare in 1952 and began raising Registered Quarter Horses. Keith was honored in 2012 at the AQHA with a 50-year legacy award for breeding Quarter Horses. He sold horses and kept his entire family mounted throughout the years. They have all ridden Zimmerman horses for ranch work and competing in the rodeo arena, something he was very proud of.

In 2016, Keith was inducted into the Nebraska Sandhills Cowboy Hall of Fame for his contribution and dedication to the cowboy way of life.

Keith is survived by his wife Olita, children: Wanda (Faron) Cross of Harrison; Dee (Michelle) Zimmerman of Harrison; Lex (Nita) Zimmerman of Mullen; Trudy (Dave) Saults of Harrison; Ginger (Warnar) Schaneman of Scottsbluff, 12 Grandkids, 24 Great-Grandkids, sister-in-law Shirley Hladky of Lusk, Wyoming along with numerous nieces and nephews.

He is preceded in death by his parents, his five siblings, and great-granddaughter Laci.

A memorial has been established for Bodarc Cemetery Fund or Nebraska Sandhills Cowboy Hall of Fame. Donations can be sent to Security First Bank – Harrison, PO Box 216, Harrison, NE 69346.

Our beloved brother, uncle, and loyal friend, Tom Cyza passed into eternity on April 26th, 2022.&nbsp; He was born to Cliff and Lee (McCray) Cyza on April 8th, 1950, in Alliance, NE.

Tom enriched our lives to an incredible and unimaginable degree and in a seemingly effortless way.&nbsp; He loved without reserve and included all without reservation.&nbsp; He considered everyone the unmet friend whether at the pool hall, poker table, or horse track.&nbsp; Tom was a hard worker and thought we should all aspire to that same ethic.&nbsp; He was thankful for his service to the railroad and most proud of his fellow worker friends in all crafts.&nbsp;

He is survived by his brother; Jerry (Cindy), John, and Jim (Pam) and his sisters Joan (Ken) and Jean (Rich).&nbsp; Tom was especially proud of all his nieces, nephews, grand nieces and nephews. And, we have to say, his life especially revolved around being much more than an uncle to Parker, Kennedy, Emersen, and Crayten.

Tom is preeded in death by his parents, Cliff and Lee, and a niece Anjanette.

A Rosary service will be held on Friday, April 29th at 7:00 p.m. at Holy Rosary Catholic Church.&nbsp; The Mass of Christian Burial will be on Saturday, April 30th, at 11:00 a.m. with Father Matt Koperski officiating. A private family interment in Calvary Cemetery will be at a later date.
