In Loving Memory of Leonard Ragan and Jackie Ragan
The McKinney, Texas community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Leonard Ragan, 73, and Jackie Ragan, 72, whose lives were tragically taken inside their home on Dunster Drive. Their passing has left a profound sense of sorrow among family, friends, neighbors, and all who are coming to terms with the suddenness of this loss.
Leonard and Jackie were more than names in a news release—they were beloved individuals who built a life together rooted in commitment, family, and shared memories. For decades, their home was a place of familiarity and warmth, a reflection of the years they spent nurturing relationships and creating a sense of belonging. Those who knew them remember a couple defined by quiet strength, resilience, and care for the people around them.
On Sunday morning, after family members grew concerned and requested a welfare check, officers entered the home and discovered Leonard and Jackie in the living room. The scene marked a devastating end to two lives that had touched many. As authorities continued to clear the residence, a 34-year-old man, identified as Bryce Ragan, was located in a bedroom and found to be armed. Police discharged their weapons during the encounter, and he was transported to a hospital. No officers were injured. The investigation remains ongoing, and officials have stated that further details about the incident and the relationships involved will be released as they become available.
In moments like these, words feel inadequate. What remains clear is the depth of loss and the pain felt by those left behind. Leonard and Jackie’s lives mattered. Their stories, love, and legacy endure in the memories of family members who cherished them, neighbors who knew their kindness, and a community now united in grief.
As McKinney reflects on this tragedy, there is a collective call for compassion—for the families navigating unimaginable sorrow and for a community seeking understanding and healing. May Leonard and Jackie Ragan be remembered for the lives they lived, the love they shared, and the lasting imprint they leave behind.
May they rest in peace.
