In Loving Memory of Terence Guy Mayberry

March 31,1965– November 22, 2025

Terence was born on March 31, 1965, in Karnes City, TX. He was the youngest child of James and Lois Mayberry. He was a loving husband to Susan Kowald Mayberry for nearly 40 years and devoted father to Tristian, Shaina, Taven, Sailor, and Thailand. He was also a loving brother to Richard Earl (deceased), Linda Salas (deceased), Brenda Charles, David Mayberry, Pauline Littles, Steven Mayberry, and James “Jamie” Mayberry Jr. (deceased). He was adored by his son and daughter’s in-law and his nieces and nephews. He leaves behind thirteen grandchildren who were the light of his life. He showed up for every milestone, every holiday, every call and was always ready with a hug, advice, or a good laugh.

Known as Terry to most, he was a proud former A&I football player, he carried the heart of an athlete throughout his life and was always cheering others on. Whether he was sharing stories from his playing days or pacing the sidelines at his kids ‘games, he lived and breathed the joy of sports. He spent many years coaching Little League, pouring patience, encouragement, and life lessons into countless young athletes who still remember his big-hearted mentorship.

Music was his constant companion and one of his greatest loves. From the classics he’d play around the house to the songs he insisted everyone needed to hear, music was how he celebrated, how he would unwind, and how he connected with the people he loved. His family will forever think of him when the Beatles, Third eye Blind, and Pearl Jam play and feel him close to him.

His life was a beautiful blend of strength, kindness, humor, and unwavering devotion to his friends and family. He will be remembered for his warm smile, his storytelling, his faith in God, and the light he brought to this world. His loss is immeasurable, but so is the love he leaves behind.
