1948-2016

Maurice Rasbury, formerly of Terrell, died Jan. 2, 2016, in Arlington. 

Mr. Rasbury was born Sept. 9, 1948, in Terrell.

He was preceded in death by his father, Wilford Maurice Rasbury; stepfather, Charles Meeks; grandparents; four uncles; and two aunts. 

Mr. Rasbury was a proud veteran of the Navy when he enlisted at the age of 17 and he served in Vietnam. 

A private person who had the ability to befriend anyone, he was a personality that many people felt drawn to because of his honesty, integrity and his wonderful sense of humor.  Anyone who got to meet him knew exactly that they had found a friend for life in “Disco Mo” and his loyalty to the ones he cared about was unwavering and unquestioned.  He could also be a rebel knowing that sometimes, a different perspective can set folks and situations in a better light. He was very loved and will be forever missed by all who knew him. 

He leaves to cherish his memory his beloved wife, CC Rasbury of Mansfield; children, Stacy Gray of Cleburne, Kelly Rasbury of Nolansville, Tenn; and Stanton Crow and wife, NeCoe of Arlington; seven grandchildren; mother, Ruby Meeks of Canton; sisters, Tressa Hennessee and husband, Dene of Canton, Glenda Oates and husband, Chuck of Ben Wheeler and Kathy Harwell and husband, Greg of Forney; loyal and steadfast friend, Jerry Jordan of North Richland Hills as well as several other extended family and friends who will carry his legacy onward.
