Heart and humor are two things friends and family of the late Judge Randy Savage recalled of the man who passed away Feb. 7 at the age of 76.
“Ninety-nine percent of his character was comprised of a huge heart, a commitment to family and lifelong friends, and the joys of civil service,” said his nephew Christian Fletcher. “The other one percent was probably a little inappropriate for some audiences but absolutely hilarious.”

An anonymous donor recently kicked in $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction of the person or persons involved in a string of suspicious fires that have plagued Burnet County since April 2020. The amount brings the reward total to $37,000.
The Burnet County Commissioners Court approved accepting the reward during its Jan. 25 meeting. The reward will be managed through the Burnet County Sheriff’s Office, said County Judge James Oakley. He and the commissioners hope the additional reward will lead to an arrest.
