Burleson — Mearl Densmoore Taylor, Jr., 60, passed away Wednesday March 1, 2023 in Fort Worth, TX.
Mearl was a simple man, he loved BIG and had an infectious personality. He grew up in Grand Prairie, TX, where he met his wife Wendy who he was married to just shy of 38 years. He loved horses, riding, rodeo and just about anything outside. He could make anything out of wood, even a whole gazebo with absolutely no plans just a picture from the Better Homes & Gardens Magazine. Anyone who knew Mearl knew how much pride he took in being a Pawpaw. Technically he only had one biological grand-daughter, but there were MANY kids around that called him Pawpaw too! He cheered them on at softball, was the stand in on grand parents day lunch at school, Ag project inspector and loved supporting them all.

To everyone who knew her she was “Ma”, a title well deserved because she was a Mother to so many. She was the matriarch of our family, with a fierce spirit and a strength that never waivered. A brave heart who loved to go fishing, win big at bingo and make friends out of strangers. Ma left her heart and kitchen open, serving plates full of love. We will miss her sass, smile, and selflessness. Her sacrificial love and commitment to family will be the legacy that we will cherish in our hearts forever.
